squaxor Posted July 22, 2018 Share #1 Posted July 22, 2018 Advertisement (gone after registration) I'll be in Japan in September and I'd love to buy a lens from the legendary Sadayasu Miyazaki such as the MS-Optics Apoqualia-G 28mm f2 Ultra Thin Version II Does anyone know where I could one of his lenses in Tokyo, Kyoto or Osaka?

FrozenInTime Posted July 23, 2018 Share #4 Posted July 23, 2018 Hopefully someone has local knowledge - but you may have missed the boat if you are looking specifically for the 28/2 lens new; these are small batch items often not repeated. It is sold out at Map camera and Japan Camera Hunter ( I think I got the last one in Urushi black ) as well as closer to home, the French distributor https://taosphoto.fr/en/store/photography/lens/msoptics/ https://www.mapcamera.com/lens/35mm_rangefinder_lens?maker=203 The 57/2 and 35/1.4 are still available https://taosphoto.fr/produit/ms-optics-apoqualia-g-35mm-f1-4-mc/ https://www.japancamerahunter.com/shop/ms-optics-petz-572-fmc-m-mount/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello Posted July 23, 2018 Share #7 Posted July 23, 2018 Advertisement (gone after registration) Not sure if you can just walk inland buy directly. I'm currently waiting until September to have my defunct Minilux lens re-housed. Looking forward to it, but I'm going through Bellamy Hunt for the process.
