Vintage / classic cameras in Osaka / Kyoto

[pixelatedscraps]

Heading to Osaka / Kyoto for about a week and (as always) would love to traipse around some old antique camera stores.

Anyone been, or know of places to look for old cameras? Strictly film, no digital please - I know Bic Camera and Yodobashi stock a lot of new digital stuff, but how about older stuff?

Of course it would be amazing if someone could point me towards the Osaka version of this thread, but that could just be wishful thinking!

Try Lemon cameras in Osaka.

I found all the places you mentioned in my recent shops in Hong Kong thread. Thanks again for all the great info!

I wish I could reply to this thread with some info on the shops in Osaka/Kyoto for you, but I'm in Yokohama and have never been used camera hunting in Kansai.

Hopefully dreamsandart and other Kansai based members will offer some shop suggestions for you! Good luck!

Did you find anything? I've noticed HK prices for vintage cameras have been creeping upwards over the last year.

There's actually several in close proximity to Osaka station. Walk around a bit.... They often close by 6, however. You really can't miss them.

I have not had luck in Kyoto.
