Cameras & condoms

ullvarg · 30 Mar 2006

I have a fairly simple question, I'm just wondering how much a Canon eos 350 and 300 camera would cost in japan? It's kind of expensive here in Sweden, and I would like to upgrade from my trusty old camera.

And now for my prejudice question, is it hard to find big latex condoms in japan? It probably ain't but I only want to be on the safe side

BTW what does Danshaku mean? noticed it under my name

Well they have the "Big Stallion" Condoms. But I would be surprised. As (true story) My girlfriend's friend's boyfriend asked for one of mine.
He wanted to see what american sized ones looked like. And when she gave it to her friend her friend kinda freaked out.

ANyway you can find them there but doesn't mean thier term for big boy or whatever is the same as other countries.

Price of electronics are about even with the US so I would assume probably about the same as sweden after conversions.

Actually, most electronics are about 10-20% cheaper in the US, atleast in NY so that's good news. And about the condoms, I think ill bring some

RockLee · 30 Mar 2006

The 350 and 300 are called Kiss if I'm not mistaken.It's a pretty damn good camera, but hell expensive !!

On this site it says :
103,809円 for the one with 1 extra zoom lens
122,667円 for the one with 2 extra zoom lenses
85,713円 without an extra zoom lens

Yeah, I think they might have a hard time carrying Trojan Magnum Large condoms. I should bring some when I go to Japan. Nothing like wanting to have sex, and unable to fit into a condom! Ha-ha!

Kara_Nari · 30 Mar 2006

I had some Japanese condoms, and they were the same size as Durex and Ansell...

*Inserts generic comment about the myths of condom sizes in Japan and makes suggestives comments about own penis*

*Does it not amaze people at the number of men (boys) in the world who figure themselves to be the best endowed no matter where they go? It wouldn't surprise me if there were some people out there who moved to Japan with the mere hopes that they would be the Japanese version of John Holmes. People please drop the stereotypes at the door.

I've had that impression for a long time now.It's true that some brands in Japan are pretty worthless and don't have enough lube.

I think that goes for the US in general, but that dosnt help uness your there of course (because of the extreme amount of money you have to pay to get home to sweden).
and about the condoms, I suppose there are places you can find huge ones.. but the swedish condoms in general arent that big..
(and sorry in I'm of topic)
when are you going to japan and for how long?

ullvarg · 30 Mar 2006

Thanks for all the fast replies

Yea, I know that they are damn expensive but it's worth it, but those prices are 2/3 of the price here

I know that it's prejudice, but I have my reasons to be that. First of I hate rubber condoms, secondly i have some problems with the brands here in Sweden so i have to order to get what I want here.
PS I can't say that I know who John Holmes is

Yea, your right most things are cheaper in the us, with some exceptions like veggies, and I usually go to NY ones every other year to visit my sister.
I know about the problem with Swedish condoms too, I usually order them from my sister. And for the record, In exactly 1 week I'm moving to Sendai for atleast a 2 year stay (atleast that's what I've signed up for)

Ones again thanks for all the fast replies

Elvira_Wyte · 30 Mar 2006

Wow, sounds Really fun!

Thunderthief · 30 Mar 2006

I have a 1993 Sears Roebuck VHS camcorder and use disposable cameras... yeah really classy in that aspect. As far as condoms go, I probably wouldn't need them anyway because my laid rate is pretty low.

ArmandV · 31 Mar 2006

I've always heard that Japanese condoms aren't really that great quality-wise. It is probably best to bring some American-made ones. This begs the question though: If someone were to partake in the services of a Japanese escort girl, do you think she'd show up with condoms?

On cameras, I have my ol' reliable Olympus OM-1. The camera works great and I had it overhauled about two years ago. But I've been thinking about getting a digital as a back-up. Any recommendations?

ullvarg · 31 Mar 2006

I used to use a old canon eos with film roles up until 2 years ago, but had to quit using it when i quit school because i didn't have any darkroom access anymore. Since then I haven't used any camera at all.

Any recommendations?

I can really recommend the eos 300 or 350 I have tried them both several times and I know a couple of people how own on, but that's if your ready to pay for it otherwise I recommend that you read this thread, maybe a bit outdated but still there are a couple of alternatives mentioned
buying digital camera in japan

MajideSaiaku · 31 Mar 2006

I prefer western ones, their a little less suffocatingly tight and thicker, the japanese ones i used felt too fragile and slightly tighter then normal.
Still i made do with what i had, and i obviously wasnt so huge that i couldnt fit in one at all, so i had my fun anyway, after i was sure the thing wouldnt break under the slightest provocation.

All i have camera wise a a crappy broken relatively cheap digital affair, i wouldnt mind a good non-digital one, i fancy myself a photographer at heart but, i dont have that kinda money.

Thanks for posting that

Mitsuo · 1 Apr 2006

I wear both cameras and condoms at the same time.......only on vacation.

Go Trojans!!

ArmandV · 1 Apr 2006

Condoms, like the LAPD: "To Protect and To Serve."

I don't think anybody is making actual stereotypical posts. It is what it is. I am speaking from personal experience. I have no clue about the quality of Japanese condoms. US ones worked fine for me. But each person is different. I am sure you could find some that fit if you look in the right places. Not like ALL Japanese men are small sword weilding warriors. And no thats not a Blanket statement thats just what most people think.
