Matsumoto Camera - Experience?

[blue4130]

Has anyone ever been to Matsumoto Camera in Osaka? Their website shows a vast collection at what appears to be really (dare I say) too good to be true prices.

I am close enough (Beijing) that is would be cheaper for me to fly to Osaka, pick up a couple lenses and fly back that it would to buy them at the crazy inflated Chinese prices. Just want some feed back from others that have had interactions with the shop.

I think most items they have are sold, and the prices are of the past.

I bought my M5 and Canon 0.95 from Matsumoto-san when I was in Osaka. His shop is a little hard to find as it is on an upper level of a somewhat deserted mall near the Osaka train station.
His store is small, but packed to the gills with some of the most impressive equipment I've ever seen at once.
Really nice guy, too. His English is excellent. First time I went in I didn't buy anything, but he asked to see the cameras and lenses I had with me and then spent 15 mins cleaning them all as we spoke!

They got some good Leica deals, but not exactly suspicious. The Rolleiflex cameras on the other hand have some damn good prices compared to where I'm at!
