A trip to Fujiya Camera’s junk store

Fujiya Camera sits tucked away behind Nakano station in a nest of pachinko parlors. Across the street from the main store–which has a good selection of Konica/Ricoh/Contax point and shoots upstairs–lies the junk store. Here’s a look inside.

Update: link to a map of Fujiya Camera

There are always two or three bins full of (mostly working) point and shoot cameras on the floor. The cameras sell for either 105 or 315 yen. That means $1-3.

P+S PORN

I rescued this little guy for 105yen

On the wall there are old SLRs, lenses and sometimes the odd Kyocera Samurai. Underneath is random medium format stuff

Mamiya C330 for about $75, there was a 105mm lens next to it for about $40

Lots of flashes. I bought two battery powered numbers for 315yen each

A pretty good selection of photo magazines

another killer post…

thanks, i want to show more of the photo life here. the selection of these places is really impressive. fujiya is one of my favorites because you can get stuff for so cheap.

hehehe…junk boxes are nice.
did you end up finding camera box in shinjuku?

Also there is a 2nd hand camera fair in shibuya tokyu department store next week. Might be an interesting browse.

ah, you know it slipped my mind last weekend, but i think i remember where it would be – from yodobashi, walk towards tocho, then it’s at the corner on the right side, b1f with a sign outside. i’ll try to remember next time.

thanks for the tip about the tokyu fair! i will definitely stop by.

hahah i feel like that shot of you holding that little cannon auto-focus is like finding the most adorable stray kitten at the SPCA – “I MUST SAVE IT!”

there were so many other orphaned Canon AFs, crying out to be taken home 🙁

good people of tokyo, for 100yen only you can give another Canon AF a new life!
