About us

The First Lensman is a store dealing exclusively in the beautifully engineered products that came out of the Japanese camera industry from the 1960's to the early 1990's. The main product line is manual focus Nikon Nikkor Prime and Zoom lenses and film cameras, although I also stock Minolta, Canon and Olympus products from time to time.
I have extensive contacts throughout the camera industry, so I can get hold of most things. Browse and enjoy.Ian

Update on shipping to Europe.

Due to the recent Customs changes introduced by Brexit, shipments to Europe are being delayed by up to 3 months or being lost altogether. I have therefore reluctantly withdrawn the option to buy direct and have instead directed all international purchases via the Ebay Global Shipping Programme which is a selectable option on all of my listings. Please contact me if you have any questions about this.

    This was the third lens I bought from this seller over the last two months. I had some questions about the item prior to purchase and these were answered promptly and accurately. The item was received the day after purchased and was well packaged. The lens is ''near mint'' as described and illustrated. I am very pleased with it. When I want a Nikon lens this is my ''go to'' source.
