Hello all. I will be in Vancouver in the middle of September and will like to get Canon 5DMKIII. Could someone from that area point me to the store (online site is fine, as I will be there for about 10 days) where I can get it. Price in Korea is about 3400 USD. Also, I have couple lenses at my friend's house in L.A. I want him to ship them to me to B.C. but worry about custom fees. Is there any money to be paid for shipping lens from US to Canada? Thank you all for any assistance.

Two long established big photo stores in Vancouver (several locations in Metro Vancouver): Lens & Shutter and Kerrisdale Cameras.

As for shipping your lenses from LA to Vancouver there should be no duty or problem if they are used and not new.

You never know what the customs guys are going to require on spot checks of imports, though, or how long they may take in the process. So if possible bring some proof the lenses already belong to you and allow for some delay depending on shipping mode - Fedex would be my choice although more expensive than regular mail.
