How to Buy Used Cameras and lenes from Japan – International Buyer’s Guide

Buying used cameras from Japan has become increasingly popular among photographers worldwide. Japan is known for its well-maintained camera gear, reliable sellers, and a wide variety of models that may be hard to find locally. In this guide, we will cover the key points every international buyer should know.  

### Why Buy from Japan?
Japanese photographers often take excellent care of their equipment, and many items remain in near-mint condition. Popular models such as the Canon EOS 5D series, Nikon D series, Sony Alpha series, and Fujifilm X-T series are often available at competitive prices compared to other markets.  

### Shipping and Customs
Most Japanese sellers, including our store, ship worldwide with secure packaging. However, depending on your country, you may be required to pay import duties or VAT. Always check your country’s import rules and additional costs before making a purchase. If you are uncertain, contacting the shop directly with your questions is also a good option.  

### Tips for Choosing the Right Gear
- **Read product descriptions carefully** – check details such as condition, shutter count, or lens elements.  
- **Look for popular and reliable models** – such as the Canon EF 24-105mm L, Canon EF 100mm Macro, Sony A6000, or Olympus E-M1.  
- **Buy from trusted sellers** – pay attention to ratings, reviews, and clear product photos.  

### Final Thoughts
