Any good shops for SLR lenses?

[snerkler]

Does anyone know of any good online stores that sell SLR lenses, particularly Olympus OM mount and Fujinon please? Harrisons have a few film era lenses (no Fuji or Olympus though), but MPB and Wex don't appear to list any. I'm not a fan of buying lenses on eBay, especially vintage ones.

There's a shop in Yorkshire - name escapes me right now - that used to do a lot of film-era kit.

Have a look at Ffordes website.

I would look at some of the Japanese sellers on Ebay, they tend to over deliver on quality and condition.

They might have gone bang. I sent some lenses to a shop in Yorkshire but I declined their offer and not long after they ceased trading... If it's the same company. There may be more than one in Yorkshire

Just looked the emails up. The company I dealt with was West Yorkshire Cameras. Gone now.

eBay isn't that bad, just look at their feedback, everything I sell on my eBay store has been fully checked & tested,

Just search in usedlens.co.uk and exclude eBay in the filters

Cameraworld sell older lenses

Do you have Fujica cameras? Fujinon lenses almost seem unique to a particular model, and I wouldn't be tempted to use them on a non Fujica camera.

Yeah I do

Yeah I do

I have an STX-1N, a few years ago I put together a second system with an STX-2 with a further 50mm, I then managed to source a 28mm and a quite rare 35mm (that came from Italy), I sold the STX-2 (it was new old stock, boxed with all gubbins) and the lenses as they just weren’t getting any use.

It’s an OK system, limited by coarse metering and a loud barn door shutter.

Unless you want to develop the system for pure nostalgia purposes then I would suggest developing a Canon/Nikon/Pentax/Olympus/Minolta system will be more fruitful land offer many more available options
