You may have heard that there have been supply issues with certain Nikon products as a result of the tsunami in Japan. The affect of which has resulted in a rush to buy equipment before it disappears. Stocks of certain Nikon cameras and lenses are affected and this is likely to remain so for some time to come. However, we do have some good news. We have been able to secure limited stocks of the following:



Second hand Nikon equipment

In the Aladdin's Cave that is our second hand department you will find we are full to the brim with all manner of Nikon DSLRs, film SLRs both autofocus and manual types. Additionally, we have a very broad range of auto-focus and manual focus Nikkor lenses. For those of you interested in vintage equipment we have a number of pristine examples of Nikon rangefinder as well as F and F2 cameras.

On a positive note, the main production plant and seven of Nikon's manufacturing subsiduaries have returned to production, but it will probably take a little time before they are back in full swing.

We look forward, as we have done over the last quarter of a century, to be of service to you.

"I have bought and sold on here quite a few times now. The items I have bought have been spot on, and I hope my buyers share the same opinion. Buying second hand is really all about where/who you buy from. If the reputation is good, you can rest assured the chances of getting a bad deal/transaction are slim indeed A plug for Grays of Westminster... Utterly exceptional service, and described down to the detail if consulted by phone. Bought my F5 from them. Couldn't be happier "

"I have received the Nikon D100 today and I would like to express my great satisfaction with the superb condition and the completeness of all the original bits-CDs-books and so on, not always with used cameras, and to have everything is very rare. I think the condition of the D100 could only be bettered with one straight off the production line. Once again thank you for a super camera. You may use this e-mail if you wish."

"I ordered a 70-300 mm VR sold as second hand on Thursday after 2.00 p.m. To my surprise it arrived on Friday morning. My surprise was even greater on unpacking the lens. It was advertised as mint- and that was reflected in the price. There is not a mark on the lens, the soft case has never been out of its folds and the lens was still in the original packing. On the camera it handles beautifully with a smooth action and fast silent focus, just what I expected and wanted. What excellent service ; once again I am a satisfied customer making the right choice using Grays of Westminster."

Delivery to The Goring Hotel: "I have just collected the charger and I wanted to thank you for the flawless service and the trouble you went to at very short notice. It makes being a Nikon owner really worthwhile."

Grays have many items in stock that don't feature on their web site... Well worth a visit... You can also let them know of a specific 'want' and they'll notify you as and when they have it... total trust and exemplary service... Last time a shop gave me that particular feeling was about 30 years ago and it was called Hamleys... Grays are really friendly and knowledgeable, if you want something Nikon there is nowhere better in London, possibly the UK... I know everything will be exactly as expected.

Grays of Westminster holds the world's widest range of second-hand Nikon stock (rangefinder, vintage reflex, manual focus, autofocus and digital), and we are delighted to announce that our customers will not be asked to pay VAT on top of our "base" second-hand selling prices - a terrific cost-free and VAT increase-free advantage!

London: Grays of Westminster's recent year-end sales of Nikon - their highest ever since the company was established in 1985 - were so spectacular that they can now count the coveted Nikon 50th Anniversary Award among their trophies.

On 28th May 2009 at a special luncheon at the Petersham Hotel in Richmond, Surrey, a beautiful crystal glass trophy was presented to Founder, Gray Levett, and Sales Director, Uri Zakay, by Mr. Michio Miwa, Managing Director of Nikon U.K. Limited.


The trophy is inscribed:


Speaking of their award, Nikon UK's General Manager Simon Coleman said:

"Nikon UK would like to recognize the continued efforts of Grays of Westminster in respect of their 2008/9 achievement in new sales. Their approach to customer service and support continues to drive sales of the highest order, and we are pleased to acknowledge this result."

Gray Levett, the founder of Grays of Westminster commented:

"We are delighted to have Grays of Westminster's hard work acknowledged in this, the 50th Anniversary of the Nikon F (Nikon's legendary 35mm SLR) year. We pride ourselves on offering our customers the highest levels of personal service, as well as our vast range of Nikon (both new and second-hand) - thought to be the widest range in the world. We believe that our customers deserve the very best in staff and service; so it's wonderful to have our efforts recognised with this beautiful trophy."

The trophy is a welcome addition to Grays of Westminster's collection of industry awards such as "Unprecedented Sales Trophy" and "Outstanding Contributions to the Nikon Brand" from Nikon UK and Nikon Japan.
