Nagoya camera fair

[TheHub]

I doubt anyone is in the area of Nagoya city, but there is a fair going on now:

This camera fair runs about 3 to 4 times a year. It's in the Maruei Department Store, Sakae, 8th floor

Lots and lots of classic gear: Nikon, Canon, Leica, etc, etc. I saw tons of SLRs and RFs, lots of MF gear, plently of TLRs and even LF bits.

I spent far too much ¥¥¥ there however: Picked up a Nikon S2, Olympus Trip 35, Canonet III-19, Nikon 28/2.8 and a Kodak Brownie Flash III. Have to lay-low for a while now 🙁

I wish we had such a fair in Seoul, but don't. I have no idea why not. What were the prices like?

... What were the prices like?

Mostly the usual, though slightly cheaper for the fair. Sometimes you can get some deals. I like the junk tables; I've gotten some Trip 35s and that III-19 from them.

Leicas are always expensive: a typical M3 goes for ¥125,000+ but they are always in great condition. Makes me wonder if people over here even use them 🙄

Nikon RF gear is very expensive. Saw some for ¥250,000+ today. Mint condition, probably kept in glass cases all the time.
