EOS lens shopping in Fukuoka

Can anyone recommend a store in Fukuoka, Japan, which has a good selection of

EOS lenses and reasonable prices? I've been to Fukuoka several times, and I'm

somewhat familiar with the Tenjin/Canal City/Hakata station area, though

explicit directions would be greatly appreciated. I'm going to be traveling to

Japan in about a week, and I strongly suspect I'll find better prices there than

here in Korea.

 

I recently crippled my 50/1.4 (a good whack, and it no longer focuses closer

than 1.5 meters), and I need another 50 while it's out of service. I hope to

get a 50/2.5 macro, but a 50/1.8 will do if I can't find that.

Dear Mike,

 

I've been to Kitakyushu (just north of Fukuoka) recently and I was quite disappointed by

the pricing of Canon equipment in one of the larger electronic stores. B&H was at that time

well 40% below the Japanese pricing. Funny, since Canon actually has a production plant in

Oita on Kyushu Island.

 

From Wikipedia I have following clip regarding Fukuoka:

In case you are into cameras, computers or other electronics, you can find a huge

Yodobashi Camera store right outside of Hakata station. Go out to the eastern side of the

JR station (Chikushi Gate). You will find it in the second block on the right hand side.

Good luck,

Stephan, thanks for the information. On the Yodobashi website, it appears the 50/2.5 is about 20 - 25% more than B&H. But if you need the lens, you need the lens . . .
