My experience with Japanese sellers has always been positive. I find that they tend to underrate items.
How many of these do you have now
Quite a few. Japanese buyers IME come through...beats buying from KEH with their generic photo of the object....
Me too..... better than described & 4 day delivery from Japan to my door (over a weekend)!

During the last 5 years I had none. Cameras rated excellent and many ++++ being crap and junk. So I stopped buying from Japan completely. And yes, fungus was often another problem.How many of these do you have now

In my opinion there has been a change indeed. I have bought quite some stuff years ago and those items were better than described. But these days are over and gone....

I needed to rebuy a bunch of lenses for a system I sold off a year or so ago. I started with one this week that cost $99 US dollars, which with exchange is $143. With shipping I paid a total of $204 Canadian. So it was sent to me via DHL Express from Japan. So today I get the customs payment request and its asking me to pay a whopping $167 Canadian before they'll clear it. That is more then the lens actually cost! WTF? How the heck can duty add up to this much, and I dont believe even the tarrifs would cost that much?! Does anyone know why my duty is more then the item itself? I sent a heated letter to the seller asking him why and threatened to have it returned to sender for a full refund.
Very painful at best. I think that tariffs are most if not all of the added cost.

Gorgeous! I saw this listing. Are you in USA and were you charged extra tariff or processing fee? Thanks
