Hi all, i'm currently in Tokyo on a trip.
Since I'm looking forward to getting a P, I thought this to be the ideal location to buy a mint one.
Today I've tried in Ginza at Sankyo Camera, Katsumido and Lemon stores, but unfortunately with no success: only Sankyo had one, but its condition was too bad.
Can anybody please recommend one or more shops where I can find it?
I would also love to find a Ricoh GR1, if possible.
Thank you in advance for any support!

Maybe MAP?

Seriously one of the coolest camera stores I've ever been in.

Pay a little more and settle for a Nikon S2 if you cannot find a decent Canon P in Tokyo.
I doubt you'll find anything at Map. Try Camera Box or Used Camera Market in Shinjuku. Possibly also Alps-do, also in Shinjuku.

... likes film again.
I would recommend Fujiya Camera in Nakano, 5 minutes walking distance from Nakano station (Chuo-line).

As Shinjuku was on my schedule next day after your kind reply, I could visit Camera Box and Used Camera Market.
Altogether they had several Ps available, only one of which sporting a clear viewfinder and correct low shutter speeds.
Unfortunately, just like all of the ones I've seen, it had wrinkled curtains.
Not that badly, but enough to make me doubt about purchasing it.
Luckilly though, UCM also had a beautiful GR1s for 40.000Y that I bought and very happily used during the subsequent days in Tokyo: what a spectacular little wonder!
Thanks a lot to jonmanjiro and the other members for the very generous and helpful support!!!
Wrinkled curtains are normal at this point... and still work fine in my experience.
