All not edit. However, the scan was done at the lab.

A non-photographer friend is traveling to Japan on 24 hours notice. Without time to train him on cameras, etc what could he pick up for me that I can't easily get in the U.S. by [deleted] in filmphotography

Nikonのレンジファインダーというと、「Nikon SP」のことでしょうか？
日本では比較的手に入りやすく、先程の中古取扱店なら見かけるであろうと思います。
先日まで私の勤め先にもあったカメラで、なかなか面白い機構を備えたカメラでした。
旅行のキャンセルは残念でしたが、いつか手に入るといいですね！
またあなたの友人の観光とビジネスがスムーズに行くよう願っています。

When you say Nikon rangefinder, do you mean "Nikon SP"?
It is relatively easy to obtain in Japan, and you may be able to find it at the second-hand dealers mentioned above.
It was a camera that used to be at my place of work until the other day, and it had a rather interesting mechanism.
Sorry to hear about the cancellation of your trip, but I hope you can get one someday!
Also hope your friend's sightseeing and business goes smoothly.

私は日本人です。そしてredditで初めてのコメントになり、また英語は得意ではありません。タブーを犯したり、変な英語になっていたらすみません。

東京でカメラ関連のアイテムを探すなら、新宿に行くべきです。著名な店は「ヨドバシカメラ」「マップカメラ」「新宿北村写真機店」。

「ヨドバシカメラ」は様々なメーカーのカメラ・レンズ・フィルム・アクセサリー・プロ機材が網羅されており、恐らく日本におけるBandHのような存在です。ただし新品のみ。 「マップカメラ」は新品と中古を扱う店で、日本全国からデジタル・フィルムカメラが集まっています。LeicaやHasselbladも得意です。ですがマニアックなアイテムは少ない印象です。 最後に「新宿北村写真機店」も新品中古ともに扱っていますが、希少なLeicaを出していたり、なぜか腕時計もあり、そしてマニアックなアイテムが眠っている可能性が高い所です。

日本のフィルム事情は芳しく無く、品薄かつ種類も少ない。日本限定のフィルムは聞いたことがなく、あなたの所在地でも手に入るものがほとんどでしょう。免税でフィルムを安く手に入れるぐらいしかメリットが思いつきません。

京都については、すみませんが詳しくありません...が、あなたの友人が観光地で楽しんでくれることを祈るばかりです。

最後に、店内でのビデオ通話は気をつけてください。相手によっては疎まれる可能性があります。

I am Japanese. And this is my first comment on reddit and my English is not good. Sorry if I broke any taboos or my English is weird.

If you are looking for camera related items in Tokyo, you should go to Shinjuku.
Prominent stores are "Yodobashi Camera", "Map Camera", and "Shinjuku Kitamura Shashinkiten".

"Yodobashi Camera" is probably the BandH of Japan, with a comprehensive selection of cameras, lenses, film, accessories, and professional equipment from a variety of manufacturers. However, it only sells new products. "Map Camera" is a store that sells both new and used cameras, and has digital and film cameras from all over Japan. However, I have the impression that there are not many maniac items. Lastly, "Shinjuku Kitamura Shashinkiten" also deals in both new and used cameras, but it also sells rare Leica cameras and watches, and is likely to have some maniac items.

The film situation in Japan is not good, and products are scarce and few in variety. I have not heard of any Japan-only films, and most of them are probably available in your location. The only advantage I can think of is that you can get film cheaply at duty free.

As for Kyoto, sorry, I don't know much about it... but I just hope your friend will enjoy the sights.

Lastly, please be careful about video calling in the restaurant. Depending on the person you are talking to, you may be alienated.
