EF 70-200 f/2.8L IS or EF 70-200 f/2.8(NON-IS) and 580EX

Hey WillZ. The total customs value came to;$2186 and I ended up paying A$228.59 GST and A$54.20 In other charges. Im off to work now. Hope it comes today, about an hour left for delivery! If it comes on Monday, I will still be happy. I have a Hoya Pro 1 HMC 77mm UV Filter to do nothing with in the mean time.lol

Mike

Thats including the TC 1.4x and 430EX? ($2468 grand total?)

Yaeh, that sounds about right. Yep, thats with the TCON and 430EX. I worked it out to be $2439. Its still a lot cheaper than you will find anywhere in Australia.

Yeah that's definitely cheaper there! Will they honour the warranty in Australia though?

Yes, Canon will definitely honour USA warranties on All Speedlites Lenses and some other things. If you buy grey market in Australia they should honour the warranty on the grey market goods too.

Mike,

Tell you family you are going to move to the states.............

and when they ask why?

So I can have faster access to camera gear and I won't have to pay anything extra

Good Luck man!

Alex

Thanks Alex. Would you believe that I would love to move to the States. I hate to say it, but the US is my favourite country to visit!! My sister lives in NY, about 20 min from B&H, it would be a weekly visit to the store for my fix.

My Dad went to NY and all around the states earlier in the year, and he went in to B&H to purchase a Monopod and absolutly hated the place!!LOL. Crazy eh?

Mike

OK, it will be here in the morning, thats just 14 hrs away! I wont be able to sleep, but I have exams this week so I better!lol

If it doesnt get delivered (tomorrow)then they will get a very nasty phone call!!!!

For an inexpensive purchase where you already know what you want B&H would be a pain. You have to go to the appropriate section of the store, have them write it up, go to the cashier, pay for the item, go to the pickup section, get your purchase....

On the other hand if you are shopping and want to see all the models and merchandise, get some hands on time, and plan on spending time seeing & playing, then it is like a candyshop.

I didn't have much luck with the UPS online tracking. By the time I logged onto the UPS site to see where my items were I had to go down stairs and sign for my package

OHH, it is B-E-A-Utiful! Love it, came while i was at school. Mum hid it and said it hadn't come!! ARGHH! Then I was annoyed so she brought it out! WOOHOO!! Best lens ever!!

take some pictures and show us what this lense is all about!!!!! You really got your information right before your purchase!!!! i hope you take some nice piccys with the new lense.

Yeah, tis awesome!! I will take some photos tomorrow, after school!!!

Mikey Likey!
