There are 2 shops that I go to :-
1) Sampoh Cameras - Daiguke-Daigaku along the Toyoko line
2) Map Camera - Shinjuku Central-West (near Yodobashi)
There are probably tonnes more but I don't know their names nor where
to look. 2nd hand Olympus gear are reasonably expensive in Japan
although I haven't tried bargaining.
If someone advises on more shops, please do let me know as I'd very
much like to find more Oly gear - 2nd hand preferably.
Thanks,
Sean
P.S. I know which Nikon shop you're talking about, and I didn't try
to go in :-). The Lemon stores in Ginza seem to specialise in
Leica, Hassy's, etc. They're also closed on Sundays.
