I do love this site, although I do most of my "window shopping"/buying on BH.

Yep, got my L from these good folks @ B&H.

And Gordon who runs the photprice.ca site is a great guy - if there is a piece of gear you want the price tracked - he has done it for me for 3 items

What I meant is we can buy from the States and pay still less than them because of the current conversion rate.

But you still have to factor in shipping and customs (which can be a lot).

does custom charge alot for shipping a lens? I never bought lens from the states.

there is no customs/duty for camera gear such as a body or lens purchased in the States and shipped to Canada. B&H and Amazon collect the taxes so you do not have to be billed separately from customs...

BH's shipping is very reasonable, too. $20 for a 2-6 day delivery on a $300 purchase.

Well what do you know? I'm the first to report in from Ottawa.

Another one from Ottawa here......not a pro, just a passionate amateur.
The Rideau River and it's inhabitants are my favorite subjects although I'll shoot damn near anything that catches my fancy.

The big factor in cross-border shipping is the brokerage fees, as I'm sure most of you already know.

I bought an item cosing $40 that was shipped by UPS. They charged me a $35 'brokerage fee'.

I use USPS/CP or it's 'no deal'.

From the Belleville area. I am new to photography and looking expand my skills so if anyone ever wants to team up and practice together near me I am willing to travel. Spliting the costs is always a bonus. Cheers
