Ebay - lenses from Japan

[r.e.]

I’ve never heard of German large format lenses actually made in Japan, unlike 35mm lenses.
My main sources of large format lenses are yahoo Japan auction, FB, this forum and local professional large format shops in midtown Tokyo while very few still exist and owners are very old and soon retiring.
I’m very lucky to live very close to those shops in 10 to 25 minute walk.

Many large format lenses come from out of business studios and retired high amatures.
Many *bay resellers are resellers as a side business.
Certainly there are professional resellers in *bay.

Kumar is certainly reliable as you all know.

Thanks, great to have input from a Tokyo resident.
