Osaka June 2013

[paparazzi mano]

Hi Fellow RFFers

I'm planing to go to Osaka with my trusty DS M3 with its partner Summilux 35. And a pocket full of TriX and Velvia. Will have a V Prominent with the classic Nokton 1.5 as a back up Its is also good because of its whisper quiet shutter.

I was wondering if there are any locals in Osaka that can suggest places that are very typical of Osaka to visit and of course eats, reasonably priced Osaka cuisine.

Any second-hand camera shop other than Bic and Yodabashi would be most appreciated.

I'm in Hong Kong. If you have any questions about Hong Kong do send me a PM.

Many thanks

You should definitely go to Den Den town and see the Tsutenkaku Tower:

I was there in 2011 and with some googling I found some pretty good camera stores. Then just by walking around I found some more good camera stores. I thought I had saved them somewhere, but alas.

Here's one shop I can remember:

I think I bought my Pentax M42 to k-mount adapter here.

Oh yes, I think it was Obayashi camera:

カメラの大林
〒530-0001

大阪府大阪市北区梅田1丁目3番1-100号
大阪駅前第一ビル1階
TEL 06-6341-8091

You can print this out and ask someone to show you where it is. It's about 5 mins walk from Osaka JR station.

Also for a great selection of films you must go to Yodobashi Camera in Umeda.

Have fun!
