Hi guys,

Thanks to this forum, I have just ordered 1x Canon 10-22 and 1x 70-200 f4 lens. :D

I tried to order via B&H (again, due to recommendation), but couldn't as the 'verfication process could not proceed due to banking regulations in your country' with my Visa card. I can only assume that it was a combination of amount, that I was a new buyer and the privacy laws here?

So, I ordered via existing Amazon account (cost a little, and I mean a little, more but free shipping) and all looks okay so far.

Won't have them for a month though, as a work colleague is bringing them out to Perth for me at the beginning of July. Let the count of the nights begin :cry:

PS: Also ordered a Phillips Pronto TSU7000!

Strange, i've heard of people in Aus ordering from B&H, and I order from them to here in NZ.

Yup, I was amazed. But, I tried a couple of times and that was the response each time. Nothing funny occuring on my part, other than the order being a smidgeon over US$2000.

I've sent them an email to advise that they'd lost a sale. If the difference in price wasn't only about US$40, then I may have pursued it but it wasn't worth my time and effort.

Congrats on all that glass. Wonder if you'll cop GST?

Doubt it, it's being hand carried through :D
