I would appreciate suggestions, comments, etc. in two areas: 1) If you have had experience buying a camera (actually, anything) in Japan, I would like to know where did you get it (city and/or store)? was it really cheaper (i.e. cheaper than NYC discount houses) had you decided what to get before going? was dealing with japanese merchants a pain? 2) I'm interested in a medium format SLR or possibly TLR. Must be at least 2 1/4" square (could be larger rectangle). Please let me know your experiences being specific about make, model, and features. Thanks.
