Hello all, and while I am not a D7000 user as of yet (soon)...
I would like to ask everyone (who are probably masters of the D7000) this question.
I will be heading to Hong Kong next week, and I heard that they sell quite a couple of rare lenses there (some not available/more expensive in Singapore).

Question: Should I take the risk of getting camera lenses there even when I don't have a DSLR to test on? I'm actually looking at the Tokina AT-X 165 PRO DX 16-50mm F2.8 lens! It's currently selling at 850 dollars in Japan.

Your kind and sincere reply will be key to me exchanging more money for the trip.
I thank you in advance for your assistance in this issue! m(_ _)m

Tell the store to lend you a body for testing?
 

hi, i like.to check with u guys. if shutter dies off. r we able to replaced them? is it costly? cos 1 of my friend letting go his 39k sc d7k at 1.3k but hear e number sc so high. not sure if it's too cheap to be good. if replacement cost is not ex, i wont mind. if it's too much. i rather get.new one with warranty. please advice. thank in advanced. hope be in D7k club soon :3
 

D7000 shutter rated at 100 or 150k, I can't remember. Still far away to hit it. N yes, it can b replaced. Cost? Call NSC to enquire. Do check labor charges as well.

Hmm if body only you can try bNs can get around that price also..

For me I won't go it fair and buy, why? Because

1) price is not as good
2) too crowded
3) can't really test the cam,

Btw there's a stickies at newbie section about buying cam at it fair, go read, its pretty good

Didn't happen to me when I use the grip with an 80-200 f2.8, which is much heavier that the 18-200. Shouldn't have a problem with the grip.

Mine don't have too, m using a 3rd party one,

Mount with sigma 70-200 hsm ii (near 1.4kg) plus body think total got 2kg?
 

Anyone know how much a d7k body only cost?
 

for those interested in grips, SGCameraStore's sales are back. Check out their forum. (price not shown though)
