42nd Street PhotoReviews of 42photo.com

Knowledgeable, tolerant, competent, reachable, respectful only introduces this family run camera and photography store nestled in midtown Manhattan. For over 30 years, owners John and Jonathan along with their staffers have welcomed customers. I have purchased dozens of Mitakon Zhongyi camera lenses. Over 10 years of coming to 42nd photo, I have had gear optics cleaned and rarely rejected products. Kudos to them. And they've sizzling discounts!

Fantastic Shop, I have visited this Aladdin's Cave of Leica Perfection. The staff are brilliant, really helpful. If you love photography and you love all things cameras this place is the world of Leica. I purchased a superb LEICA SUMMICRON 50mm f/2 lens. The lens was sent to me when promised and at a very competitive price!! The company went out their way to ensure I got the product I wanted and in quick time frame.......Just can't praise them enough. When you shop here you feel as if YOU are the only person who matters to them at that point, a very personal, professional service!!!

I was scammed by this company. Was sold gray market lens and camera for regular price -meaning no warranty for the products but was told prior to sale that products had US warranty. After I made purchase I tried to register products and was told by manufacturers they couldn’t honor warranty because the company is not an authorized dealer for products. These people are pigs.

Worst client service !! Never buy there again. I was mislead when buying a lens through the website and was overcharged $300 more !!

Great service, 100% recommended I recently purchased a EOS-1D X Mark II from 42nd Street Photo and found the staff to be very helpful, I had not checked stock levels and had ordered an item that was out of stock. I had a prompt message explaining that there was a bit of a wait on stock, I was offered a few options on how I could proceed and chose to get a slightly better better deal on a bundle with CFexpress Card & Reader Bundle. All items turned up the next day, no issues at all, all items in perfect condition. The staff are very helpful and are always happy to offer advice and I look forward to my next purchase from 42nd Photo as I know I will get a top notch service. I just wish I could order high-quality images from 42nd Photo

Ordered a new "import" lens, received a used lens. "Passed" sticker was missing but I could tell where it used to be and there were tell-tale signs of wear in various places on the lens and lens bracket and some paint or sharpie action used on those wear areas. I knowingly purchased an "import" lens, but I suspect they took a demo lens, or floor model, repackaged it in a generic box with a generic label, and sold it to me as a new "import" model. There's no documentation in the box, no manufacturer information, nothing. No exchange was offered when I called them.

Called them to make sure the lens I want (a $10k Canon 600/4 II) is available. The sales person was extremely rude and said "he doesn't have time" to deal with me, and I should just place an order and wait and pray. What a joke :)

I had some problems with and item I bought, but Mr.Elliot solve my issue.Want to thank him for his attention . Solve situation ,everyy is OK, THANK YOU
