hello everyone, i've been going through this forum hours ago, amazing job guys, i love it!!!
i just need your help regarding bying lenses and equipments online.
i am looking for a tamron 17-50 VC and found the best price at DWI online store. anyone has a good (or bad) experience with those guys? are they trustworthy?

and the other thing is, i am a new DSLR enthusiast (mostly portraits), got the canon 600D and a freind recommended the tamron 17-50 VC for everyday use (money wise!!) as i am not very happy with the kit lenses i've got in the package (18-55 IS).
i appreciate ypur help guys and really trust your recommendations:D

If you don't know store you are buying from, use google to find comments from people and of course use the search on this forum too.

I'd rather buy lenses than say bye to them :D

Resellerratings is the way to go if you question the authenticity of a seller.

I know of two people personally who have bought from them (one a few times) and had no issues whatsoever. I plan to use them myself, but I did a recent search and found a HK Ebayer actually cheaper than them for a particular lens I was looking at, at that time, so check first.

There is a large thread on the Whirlpool Forum regarding people who buys from DWI. In general, they are normally pretty good!
