Depends on the price diff. If it's not too much just get the warranty set as nikon flash warranty is international.

no leh. I am planning to buy Sb-700 and 50mm f1.8d in coming CNY. Called Fortress and Broadway HK and they said all is CHINA warranty. I searched price.com.hk all also local warranty.

Anyone encounter problem with lens or flash bought from HK within a year ?

Bro, which Broadway branch you bought from ? I called the branch at Cityplaza, Taikoo Shing and they told me is not international warranty. Frustrated.

Hello. Thanks for this and the previous thread, very useful information.

I'm going to HK in less than three weeks and I am planning on buying a T3i with either the 18-55mm lens or the 18-135mm lens and the 40mm f2.8 or the nifty fifty. I see that the body goes for as low as 3500HKD on price.co.hk and that the 40mm, for example, goes for as low as 1100HKD. Kits range from 4100HKD to 5700HKD. Those seem to be grey items, which I am fine with, but the price seems quite low nevertheless. Does anyone know about those stores? Can they be trusted?

I tried posting some links but it seems I can't do that yet. There is one store called CartCart and another called Shopping Limited, both of which are quite cheap.


Thanks in advance.

I will be in HK in less than three weeks. Looking to buy a T3i with one of the kit lenses, 18-55 or 18-135, plus a 40mm f2.8 or nifty fifty. The body is sold as low as 3500HKD on price.com.hk and the 40mm, for example, for as low as 1100HKD. Do those prices seem reasonable? I presume they are grey market items, which I am ok with, but even then they seems quite cheap. A friend of mine bought the 18-55 kit for 400HKD a few months ago and has had no problems with it. There's two stores in particular, Shopping Limited and CartCart, which carry the body for quite a low price. Are they trustable stores? Anyone had experience with them?

Thanks in advance.

I will normally go Tin Cheung at K11 Shopping Centre. Lots of things to look at in one shop.

Hello


Planning to ask my friend who's going to Hk in march to buy a Fuji XE-1 for moi. Thing is am not sure of the shop to buy, saw in price.com.hk is differ in price by 400$sgd by singapore price ($2099 with 18-55 kit)
Any recommendation, appreciate the help.

Merci

I was thinking of the XE-1 with 18-55 too but am confused about the warranty issues also. Price.com.hk says they come with local HK warranty of 1 year . Is the fuji warranty international ?
