UK Buying from Japan

[waysofseeing]

Hello and Happy New Year everyone📷
Am UK based looking to buy a 28mm/25mm Voigtlander or Nikon lens for my Nikon SP, possibly another body
They're practically impossible to find in UK these days so considering buying from Japanese sellers on eBay
There are so many! Can anyone recommend any particular for quality/price, delivery time, etc?

Hi, I’m just seeing your post about building out your Nikon SP kit. I realise you’re primarily looking for 25/28mm, but in case your interested, I have some period-correct and compatible Nikon RF lenses that belonged to my late Grandfather I’m considering selling all in original leather cases with caps and in the original leather kit bag. This includes a Nikkor H.C 5cm f/2 and a Nikkor Q.C 13.5cm f3.5, both Nikon S mount, plus original finders. I also have the Nikon S body.

Let me know if you’re interested in a chat. I’m based in London.

I got my SP in the UK from Peter Loy and all things taken into account it didn't work out much more expensive than an SP from Japan. If anything I think Peter's descriptions slightly undersell the cameras and lenses he has in stock. It came with the 50mm f/1.4 and a day or two later added a 35mm Nikkor that Peter had. I then got a 21mm Voigtlander S mount from Japan as none at all were showing up in the UK, and this was slightly cheaper than I expected but in genuine mint condition. If you are thinking of getting an SP from Japan I'd look at the photo's very carefully as descriptions can say 'mint' when it isn't, and the bright lighting they often use can mask scratches and dents.
