However I didn&#8217;t find as much as I had in the past and what I did find for film gear seemed to be massively inflated in price currently. My goal originally was to find a Voigtlander R2 or R3, but the kits I saw were all above $2,000 now. I just don&#8217;t see myself paying that much for a camera that is only 35mm and not a Leica. At one of the shops I did find a very clean Nikon 180mm f\/2.8 ED that I ended up picking up for around $300 and shooting these shots on my way home with to test. It&#8217;s definitely nice to add a longer lens to my 35mm gear and I could see trying to find a good 300 or 400mm one later as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/justinmarin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/DSC3398_sm-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"People getting off a train in Japan\" class=\"wp-image-3972\" srcset=\"https:\/\/justinmarin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/DSC3398_sm-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/justinmarin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/DSC3398_sm-480x320.jpg 480w, https:\/\/justinmarin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/DSC3398_sm-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/justinmarin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/DSC3398_sm-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/justinmarin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/DSC3398_sm.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/justinmarin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/DSC3397_sm-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Person walking by a large sign in a Japanese train station\" class=\"wp-image-3971\" srcset=\"https:\/\/justinmarin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/DSC3397_sm-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/justinmarin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/DSC3397_sm-480x320.jpg 480w, https:\/\/justinmarin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/DSC3397_sm-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/justinmarin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/DSC3397_sm-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/justinmarin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/DSC3397_sm.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve been able to do a little searching around Osaka for deals on used camera gear while being back in Japan.
