Does anyone know if one could still buy brand new TX-2 in Japan? I heard that it was discontinued last year and wonder if some of the old stock are still available in the shops somewhere (If yes, which shop and how much they cost these days?Please help advise).
Thanks,
Jeremy

Until a month ago you could find them new on Ebay from Japanese stores for around $2800 brand new with the 45mm lens. I guess now they are all gone.

Hi Just browsing this forum and saw your post re the TX2.
I found one in late March A demo like new with lens at Bic camera (used section) in Ikebukuro .Browsing in the store I enquired about a TX2,the sales guy laughed politely just I was leaving he chased after me and presented me with what turned out to be a mint camera.It cost me 210000 yen.
I did see behind the counter 4 Xpan 2 kits ; this is a while ago but ?if you could find someone who spoke passable Japanese you never know.
I spend a lot of time browsing the Map camera used section , it's in Japanese however you can type in any camera name in English and it will come up with it if they have it , Map has plenty of stock and have seen used Tx 1's from time to time.
Good to deal with and I think they sell out of the country.
This is my only post here and am not here to send you on a wild goose chase . It took me three trips to Tokyo over three years to find what I wanted the TX2,at the right price
All I can say is best of luck and don't give up they are worth the hunt.
I have just been shooting on a job on a remote location in Aus and the pleasure in shooting film to complement the d2x was awesome, fantastic for crisp contrasty b/w panos.
You can also buy Kenko polarizers in Japan with hot shoe mount indicators for rangefinders that are an indispensable Xpan /Tx accessory.
Cheers
