Really just for reference only, but one of the kakaku sellers has a new one.

However, I don’t think a kakaku listed seller is advisable outside of Japan, as the buying process is funky. I just bought a new D750 body from the ‘Wink’ seller, and it was only when I got it and opened the box that I felt comfortable. But it has a one year Nikon warranty (apparently ...), and I paid for a seven year warranty, including accidental damage.

I recently bought a slew of AI and AIS lenses, all from Japanese eBay sellers. I checked prices at Fujiya and Map first, but nothing caught my eye. Although I technically live in Tokyo, it takes long bus and train rides to get into town, and in Covid days I don’t really want to do that :-( However, I am sure that if (when) I do get to visit the shops I will leave with a heavy little package in my pocket.

these are all used

i bought a refurbished one from Nikon via Yodobashi for 114,000JPY with lens (1 year warranty).

the subdial is mulfunctioning tho...

Oh, I didn’t know Yoda sells Nikon refurbs. Are they just a flash in the pan, or do they have a special section for them?

Shinjuku, main building 2nd floor and shinjuku KEIO bus terminal building 2nd floor (outlet)

That is great info, thank you.

Can you tell me the Kanagawa branch? I am in the dirty old town of Machida, which skirts Kanagawa.

i dont know unfortunately but i was told that there is another one at kanagawa

refurbs are ex-display cameras, mine came with around 37,000 clicks and STD (subdial tardy display) and scratched exterior.
or old-new-stocks....

That should not be a refurbished one.  As you say, those are outlet cameras that have been on display as samples in the shops, touched and fumbled.  I don't think any camera brands sell refurbished cameras in Japan.

i was told that mine was, in fact i saw that the screws have scratches meaning it was opened recently. the scratches look recent. they told me that they sent the cameras back to Nikon so I assume it was refurbished

I bought a refurbished D5300, and it looked like new, no scratches or anything, in box with papers.

To be precise, that should be called "repaired" or "overhauled", not "refurbished".

As Bent says, a refurbished camera should look as good as new.

[richardHaw]

ok, maybe "refreshed". it feels like some of the rubber parts look new 
maybe tomorrow i will send to shinjuku to check the STD (subdial tardy display)

Just bought a mint s/h Df with a "silver ring" 50 1.8 in December (arrived in January)... As a D4 owner, I of course love the performance... I was saddened though not surprised at all to hear that the Df was discontinued. I had hoped until a few years ago that a DfII would be forthcoming, but was again saddened, though not surprised, that one never did.

In the few short months I have owned my Df, I have come to love it and have bought two lenses especially for it... one is shown below.
I hope that this camera has a lot of life left in it.

Very nice subtle product shot
