MP3 Posted January 3, 2007 Share #1 Â Posted January 3, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) Dear friends in Tokyo, Â Would anyone know where can I buy a 46mm thread IR Cut filter (B+W 486 prefered) in Shinjuku Tokyo? Does anyone know any stock available at Yodobashi or Map Camera? Â I'll take a vacation in Tokyo and its nearby Hakone area this weekend with my M8. I'll pick my CV15 and 35 Lux asph. Â Have been finding the 486 filter in Hong Kong but simply no stock available here. Â Thank you for your kind advice. Â Cheers Matthew Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sdai Posted January 3, 2007 Share #2 Â Posted January 3, 2007 I'm not in Tokyo now, Matthew, but you could try Yodobashi in Shinjuku, the B+W filters can be found on the 3/F of the camera division. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dugby Posted January 3, 2007 Share #4 Â Posted January 3, 2007 When i was there 2 weeks ago, On the south side of Shinjuku station, ie the side which does not have the Government building with the lookout tower. On the 1st street parallel to the train station is camera shop which has about 50 to 75 M bodies in the window. give them a try. Â Secondly at the Ginza, on the opposite side to the Nikon shop, and 100m further down/, is another shop that has about 40 M bodies. Â Both of these shops have been there for 20+ years.

dugby Posted January 3, 2007 Share #6 Â Posted January 3, 2007 I should add, Yodabashi in Akihabara had a little more Leica gear than the Yodabashi in Shinjuku. Â I did shoot a lot of local photographers,...... Blads an Mamiya's are still very widely used in daily street usage. They were shooting as freely as what i was with my L1...!!!!!
