Shopping gear around the world

FIND THE BEST DEALS WHILE ON THE ROAD

Across my travels and the travels of my friends and fellow photographers, we naturally come across many camera stores all around the world letting us compare prices and offers. We decided to create a nice and quick overview sorted by cities of these stores with some tips on what to buy where.

If you’re ever in these area, this might help you find hidden gems or great deals. If you know other places, drop me a message and let me know through the contact form or leave me a comment down below. I will add them to this list.

A special thanks goes out to Mehrdad from Qimago, Dennis Feiner from Denis Feiner Photography and Mario Aurich from Hochzeitsfotografie Aurich for helping me put together this post.

NAMDAEMUN AREA

Address:
86-1 Namdaemunno 3(sam)-ga
Jung-gu, Seoul, Südkorea

Seoul makes it a little bit more difficult to pinpoint a certain store or location as there are two general areas, where to go for cameras and gear. One is on the street next to Namdaemun market. There’s literally one store next to the other – and 95% of them are related to cameras and gear. What I always do, is hop from one store to the other and compare prices or look for used lenses or tripods for example.

What to buy:
Used lenses, memory cards, batteries, camera bags, tripods, ballheads, filters, filter mounts, remote controls, intervalometers
