Hi all...

I'm want to know if anyone has bought anything from hk-digi.com...
The prices seems to be interesting for some filters and extension set, like the kenko set. Cheaper than B&H.

I thank you all in advance for your input ;)

Never heard of them personally...
www.resellerratings.co​m (external link) has no mention of them either

Anyone else...?

Thanks.

The problem is that I would like to know if it's a true and good on line shop, before ordering. I haven't problem to buy something cheaper, but I (like every one) don't want to loose my money.

They only use Paypal as payment method which is not the more secure in case of
frauds.

Bye,
Laurent.

I think you can get the Kenko tubes from a Hong Kong dealer on E-Bay at the same price, which will add a (questionable?) layer of customer protection. Just find someone with a high rating.

I bought mine via E-Bay from Hong Kong (seller: URGALAXY) and everything was perfect.
For this particular item I wouldn't worry about fakes.

For filters, in particular brands like Hoya and B+W, I would however be very cautious. They are fairly easy and very profitable to counterfeit.

That's also what I'm thinking, they are so cheap compared to US you have an HOYA SHMC Pro1 for about 20€ (16$)... Seems to be so cheap compared to B&H and so on:confused:
May be too cheap to be honest.

For the tubes in don't know yet if I'll try it there, I investigate a bit about this site, and found many reviews from french customer, there is no problem of delivery, but they don't send you any bill, any warranty, ship it as a gift (may create problem with customs officers)... So may be a cheap price that can become a nightmare in case of problem, or after to resell you gear...

Thanks for your help, ciao.

I did get a reciept from URGALAXY, but with a low price on it - just below the minimum amount for customs to bother with it ;)
I wouldn't worry too much about waranty...it's basically just tubes with...air in 'em.

Hi all,

Finally I bought those extension tubes.
I get the Kenko set, and it look fine to me, I made test and it works great.

So I can say that this web site is reliable.
They ship my order very fast 5 days from Honk Hong to Belgium.

The price is very low for the extension set 70€ and 10€ for shipping.

Bye all,
Laurent.
