Completely happy with the whole experience from start to finish. Website was clearly laid out and easy to use, communication from the company once my order had been placed was excellent and regular, exactly as they had promised and the whole thing was well within the time frame that they specified for the order. When the camera arrived, the instructions were clear, easy to follow and very detailed. Can't recommend 42nd street photo highly enough.
Don't believe any positive reviews you see. They are all "planted" by 42 St Photo. They will rip you off! I ordered a Canon R6, one of their sales people called and told me the camera is an import and everything is written in a different language, which is totally false. Then they try to sell you a USA model for much more, which they don't have because they are not an authorized dealer!. Call Canon and they will tell you that they are not! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!

Everyone I interacted with was super-helpful, patient and light-hearted to my novice questions after getting rid of my SLR. They didn't push any items on me, I was given comprehensive pre-order advice and packing with extra foam that my contents could survive a Gaza missile strike! Highly recommend for photographic equipment and optical accessories.

This was my first time ordering from 42nd street photo, but it won't be my last. I received updates at every stage of the process, from ordering to delivery, which was extremely useful. The Canon RF 24-105mm f/4 lens itself is excellent quality, set up was totally straightforward, and the customer service has been faultless. Thank you!

Bought a Z6II in pristine condition at a great price during 42 St Photo sale.
I'll definitely use 42 St Photo again for other camera purchases. Highly recommend way of expanding your Camera/lenses collection. Thanks to John in New York!
Fantastic as always with the Leica's premium quality DNA! It's a fantastic all-purpose and is quickly winning over my heart as a go-to lens as was recommended by the store owner at 42PHOTOs. I also spoke to a customer representative through a LIVE CHAT, I got a shoulder strap and a lens bag, which is A++++++++
Highly recommended for Leica!

I wanted a BMPCC6K kit and was referred via a link from the manufacturer to 42photo.com. I found that they have clear and honest descriptions with illustrations of all equipment with complete product information. Excellent customer service and securely packaged next day delivery are a game changer for me. 42Photo will be my first port of call when researching video equipment.
These folks went out of their way to help me find the correct Zhiyun gimbal stabilizer to work with my camera. I highly recommend 42nd street photo to anyone and will definitely be doing more business with them in the future! Easily one of the best online purchasing experiences I've had. Thanks again.

The OM1 system was a great addition to my arsenal. I have never been happier with a camera than with this OM1 system. Buying a pro-level camera seemed years away for me. Delivery to New Mexico was on next day for a mid-afternoon order. 42 street photo website was easy to use and made ordering quick and easy...all at a fair (or even fairer) price.

The website was easy to navigate to the exact camera I wanted. The ordering process was easy and tracking the shipment was easy as well. The EOS 7D picture quality is outstanding and it has surpassed my expectations as a professional camera. 7D's camera operations are very user friendly and the custom functions are brilliant. I would definitely recommend this camera and 42nd street photo. Their service was top notch.

The delivery was extremely quick after talking to the team at 42nd street photo. They directed me to a camera that would match my need to capture youth sports such as soccer and basketball. I have been using the Canon 90D camera for several weeks now and the quality of the pictures and ease of use is fantastic. Thanks so much 42 street photo for pointing me in the right direction

Well packaged, prompt delivery of a superb canera-FujiXT4. I'm not sure how competitively priced it was as 42PHOTO-was the only place I could find one just at that time, but the price seemed about right. All good from 42PHOTO-I thought.

Great service all round 42PHOTO-is my first port of call most of my cine-equipment purchases and will likely continue to be going forward. Stock items arrive promptly and I am kept informed on delivery times for out of stock items. The range of products is enormous and competitively priced and there is technical support and advice at hand. Well deserved five stars.

I've purchased quite a few things from 42 St. Photo including new and used cameras, lenses and accessories, the new stuff matches website description and merchantable quality, the used equipment are also perfectly fine, great company and their warranty on used cameras is 1 year unlike the 6months its rivals in New York offer 10/10

BEWARE - ordered online a Nikon 55-300 lense. Was given story that the one I ordered wasn't compatible with my d3200 and he had only one in stock that would work - $180 more than the other. Arrived in a non- Nikon box with no receipt and no product warranty or spec book. DO NOT USE
I was looking for a Canon RF 24-105mm f/4 lens and it was easy to find on their website. Ordering was easy, and the lens was shipped in a few days. Tracking information was received and I was able to follow the shipment. Product was as described, new in the box, and the price was the lowest I could find. The Canon RF 24-105mm F/4 lens exceeds expectations with its exceptional image quality and versatile focal range. The build quality is robust, and the auto focus is fast and accurate. Will have no reservations about ordering from 42nd street photo again

The next day, they called and said that was the international version of camera (no such info on the website). They also said that if I refuse the order, they will keep 6% of the order amount. I refused the order, but the money was returned in full.
The competitive prices at 42ndphoto.com made the purchase of my Canon EOS Rebel T7 an excellent experience, Delivery was prompt and my camera is great. I have tried it out already and am pleased that its features are all easy to use. It's a very powerful camera, which is what I wanted. Thanks to 42nd street photo for their reliable service

Remained on backorder for two months, Kate emailed me on 29th January alerting me there were enough units released by the manufacturer. It was on my door step by 31st January. However, DHL driver abandoned the package without ringing the bell. I'm lucky my eye caught the delivery track as it vanished into the neighborhood before rain or someone took it!
42nd street photo are brilliant. They have a great reputation which is very well earned. I've previously bought a lens from them, and was very pleased, so didn't hesitate to buy my new Godox Ving V860III flash kit from them. I spoke to Jack on the phone prior to making my purchase and he was really helpful, talking me through different options and giving his opinion on which flash kit would suit me. Once I'd ordered it, I was kept up to date on where my order was in the system, Jack happily added extra delivery information onto my parcel, and it was delivered as promised within 3 days.
Looking forward to learning about my new flash kit and hopefully years of trusty service.

Order was processed astonishingly quickly, it arrived within 3 days of ordering (including weekend).
Only annoying issue was the need to attach the Four Thirds lens to an adapter to update firmware, and when it shipped it was up-to-date. But overall, wonderful experience

I had been looking for a genuine Tamron SP 70-200mm f/2.8 lens to replace the one I had lost ten months ago. Most camera stores did not have stock, but 42nd street photo did. The lens arrived very quickly and in good condition due to the excellent packaging. It was just what I wanted, and so I am very pleased with the service given by 42nd street photo.
