I am guessing that there will be a flood of 24-105L on sale in the B&S thread..
 

Meaning to say, if buy from Australia and ship back to SG, can claim 11% tax rebate in OZ airport? That works out to be ard 3.3k sgd if bought in OZ...hmmm...

Correct. http://www.customs.gov.au/site/page.cfm?u=4366 for more info.

If you claim TRS on the way out and on the way back, you must declare the good. If the value of TRS good is over $900AUD, then there is import fee. :thumbsd:

but if i claim on the way out, then seperate the box and camera, get my friend to carry the box + accessories while i carry the camera with my lens, do u think the sg custom will be able to do anything abt it if i dont declare? :D

Make sure you need to decorate the box or flatten it, so that it won't be that obvious.

The regulation states:
- you may leave the box behind in Oz and open the camera (use it / abuse it)
- claim TRS on your way out
- The person making the claim must be the passenger flying
- purchase good within 30 days of departure (very important)
- value over $300
- if you bring the item back into Oz, you are require to declare to custom and show receipt. Since 5dm2 is over $900, you "may" get hit with an import fee:thumbsd:. If you do not declare and custom finds out, be prepare to get a huge slap on the wrist and a fine

PS: i am not a lawyer so..

do u think the sg custom will be able to do anything abt it if i dont declare? :D
This i dont know, check SG custom

hmm...why do you say so? Can't see the price is cheaper than buying the lens only.

:dunno: Don't understand why you say that. The lens no good? If they don't need the lens, then why buy the kit? Cannot wait?...

As heard there a silent upgrade on the latest 24-105 lens for some components.
so those whose getting the 5D MKII with Kits, first shipment is available in 5D MKII with 24-105 L lens only. only body may in the later shipment.....
Their may let go their serviced 24-105 F4 IS L into the B & S section.
keep the latest copy........ It depreciate ard few hundred, better than send the serviced copy for CSC........
as the lens age getting old day by day :bsmilie:

Beats me too, as I didn't specifically ask about. Somebody else did while I was about to leave. It was only in the evening, so perhaps she didn't have a confirmation any earlier ? :dunno:
 

i when down canon today and asked bout the 5D MK2. they said it should be launched during the computer show. yay!

Yes, it will be available at MS tomorrow for the ppl who paid the deposit. Pricing will only be available tomorrow during the launch, but from what i have been hearing, the body alone should be around $3900 to $4000. Just realized that when u shoot RAW on the Mk 2, you will need Photoshop CS4 or Lightroom 2.2 to process the RAW files.... Why can't they just make the Camera RAW plug-in compatible with CS3 and Lightroom 1???
