Do you know what lens you are looking for specifically?

Fujiya Camera in Nakano may have a few in stock:-

Fujiya Camera is one stop from Shinjuku station on the JR Chuo Main express line. Take the North Exit at Nakano station and you should see a taxi rank in front of you. Turn right and head to the bank, turn left and you can see an alley in front of you. (basically diagonally across the road, towards the KFC) Go down the alleyway and turn right at the next intersection, Fujiya camera is on your left (Large yellow sign).

Note they have a few shops in that area and the main shop has two floors.

Map Camera in Shinjuku is another option, they are located near the main Yodobashi Camera store in Shinjuku.

Enjoy your trip!

GC3's directions are accurate. The front of Nakano station has changed a bit recently, but as long as you go past the KFC, you can't go wrong.
The main Fujiya store has a lot of micro 4/3 lenses. Some of the second hand ones are actually new, from split kits. They have a lot of 14mm lenses, and quite a few others. They aslo rate their lenses (and cameras) for condition.

Which lens are you after?


Map Camera at Shinjuku also have a lot of micro 4/3 lenses, but they are more expensive than Fujiya.
You can also find some at the second hand Sofmap stores at Akihabara. They are located on Chuo Dori northwest of the Sofmap main store (across the road and down stairs, and also out of the southwestern Electric Town exit, then head south and across the road.
