When I'm ready for a new camera, lens, or piece of equipment I know that I will find it at the best price at 42nd photo. Their customer service is also great. They stay in touch every step from purchase to shipping and are always available if you have questions. I highly recommend shopping with them for all of your photography needs!

Decided to visit 42nd PHOTO to buy a 10mm F2.8 fisheye lens for my om-d e-m10 mark iv and let me tell you, out of all the camera stores I've visited, I've never felt so at comfortable right off the bat. I was greeted by James and he was super sincere and genuine about his camera store. No covert sales efforts, just honest people trying to help you in your photographic pursuits. I definitely recommend this place to any level of photographer/cinematographer.

Worked with Jonathan and the experience was pleasant and easy. Delivery was smooth and My order came to my house very quickly even though I only paid for the free shipping. Once I unboxed the camera, I verified it had zero snaps and it was still new. I especially like the improved ISO performance, Focus is very fast, and I think it's a great camera for my purposes which include wedding photography. I'm glad I trusted 42nd street photo with a high end camera purchase.

I've purchased various camera products over the years including telephoto lenses and Kodachrome slide film. (Yes! I still have some in my freezer!) Ebay makes ordering an easy task. Commit to buy with Ebay and use PayPal to pay. I could track my purchase. No phone calls. I ordered at 2 am. I'm happy.

I just received my Nikon Nikkor 24-120mm lens from 42nd street photo and I've been absolutely satisfied with their service. Delivery time was as promised, a very competitive price was offered and all questions were promptly answered and dealt with. I Will be using them again without hesitation.

I liked my new Leica M 10 R and 50 mm Leica lens so much that I immediately bought this 35 mm lens as well. The lenses pair perfectly with the fabulous M10R. The f-stop and focus rings are smooth as silk. The images are terrific. I would do this again. 42ND photo is the best. Great customer service and knowledgeable professional personnel.

Although I've shopped around, I keep coming back to 42nd Street Photo. Have purchased from them since the '90s. These guys know all about cameras. It took awhile for me to decide upon my Canon camera and they were able to answer all of my questions. When my battery order was held up at the manufacturer, they were on it and followed up with me by phone several times until it was received. Always a positive experience.

I was reluctant to order the lens from 42nd Street Photo, given the tight window for my purchase. I was leaving on our vacation within the week. I talked to their salesman and as promised the lens arrived in time for the travel. I liked the pleasant and friendly sales people that assisted me. It is a great place for service, quality of product and great pricing.

I went to 42nd Street Photo to buy a compatible quick release rifle plate for my Al AXMC Rifle. James is a very enthusiastic optics and electronics engineer. He suggested a Really Right Stuff with great joy. Nice, premium and professional finish. When I setup my rifle there with this base, I was very excited. This plate offers a perfect balance point for mounting the rifle directly to a ball mount. The other staff were very friendly as well as starting from the Lady at the info desk to the other sales associates. You can shop for all types of bases & mounts for modern weaponry. You can also find lots of cool riflescopes, sights and accessories at the store. I do recommend to shooters who use a tripod like me.

Nikon Z6 II with Nikkor z 50mm f/1.8
August 3, 2022

The camera is a game changer for wildlife photography, fast autofocus performance and shooting speed for fast moving deer. 42photo's online service responded to my questions. I bought this camera six months ago. My early tests with the z6 Ii for wildlife, sports and portraits, frame rate hits the sweet spot! Best purchase on 42nd Street photo so far. Excellent and as advertised!

Just bought a new camera from 42nd St Photo and it was a great experience. They had the camera I wanted at a price that was below all others including Amazon. Also the service was excellent and they even called to verify something before shipping. I will use them again.

I just bought a three piece JVC HM250 camcorder with everything but the kitchen sink! Package came in around 17 days. 42 St Photo surprised me in providing both superb service and competitive prices. Great service with 42Photo. 100% merchantable quality and authenticity. They are helpful, quick delivery and a great warranty.

42nd street has been around for a long time. Their prices are always lower than the competition. No New Jersey sales tax is charged. On high priced items this is a great savings. The delivery time is not as fast as B and H but the savings is worth the wait. Selection is not as extensive as others. The items for sale are always priced lower than other stores. Overall I would not hesitate to buy again.

Been ordering online from 42photo.com for many years. Almost all of my photographic tools are purchased online from 42photo.com. The process is very quick, more competitive and makes a lot of sense. ABSOLUTELY AMAZING 🤩

Complete Satisfaction
October 12, 2018

My purchase was for a present for my granddaughter on the occasion of her 22nd birthday. She has since developed a successful photographic business, which even includes five scheduled photo shoots just this coming Sunday. The lens which I purchased from 42nd Street Photo was delivered with unexpected promptness, and the item has performed flawlessly since put into service. Should I have occasion to order any additional photographic equipment for myself or as gifts, 42nd Street Photo would be my first choice as vendor.,.
