My friend just came back from HK. He managed to find a Canon 17-55 f/2.8 with International Warranty from DC Fever Mongkok. He said it's really one of the last sets. He could not find a 10-22 with warranty anywhere.

Yeah, same, i was also able to find a 17-55 f2.8 w int warranty too. I was pleasently surprised that 2 months since the change, canon hk still have syock in the mkt with international warranty

Hi CS,

Is it possible to check whether HK is in stock with Tokina 11-16mm?. The price should be at least $200 difference compared to Singapore.

Thank you.

Thank you.

With so many shops around, I'm sure you will be able to find one with stock. However, I understand that Toki does not have international warranty.

Tokina 11-16 is quite a popular lens in HK. The stock usually run low but will get replenish quite fast. It is not feasible to check the availability since it might be available now but after 2 weeks the stock will be gone.

As for price, you can refer to http://www.price.com.hk/product.php?p=114113

Just gave HK Tokina authorized distributor a call and was told all Tokina lens carries a 2-year International warranty. There should have a warranty card issued by Tokina Japan inside the box. If the lens is a local set, there will be an additional warranty card issued by the HK distributor and that one carries a 3-year local warranty. Have not bought Tokina lens before so all these are just information collected from the HK local distributor - Laikok Photographic Products (HK) Ltd. Tel: +852 2292-5111

Just had a random check this afternoon while I was in Tsim Sha Tsui (TST) and Sham Shui Po (SSP), both stores have stock and here are the price quoted (both are Canon mount local sets with 3-yr local warranty and 2-yr international warranty cards):

Tin Cheung (TST) HK$4,900
Cam2 (SSP) HK$4,680

I think you need not worry about the availability. Might need to check a few more shops for a better price.

Thanks CS for this useful thread.
Planning to get Sony DSLR from Hong Kong but came to know that i need to register in HOng Kong SC for "Tourist Limited Warranty" in person or by mail. So just wonder if i can register online or there is a change now for registering international warranty in Hong Kong.

If still the same i just have to put my international warranty card in the envelop & send in Hong kong. That all right ?

 

[tmengyew]

Oh ya, also intend to buy camera bag . Don`t know Hong Kong Cheaper or Shengzhen? anyone know?

I would suggest you get the local warranty card convert to the international one while you are in HK. As I was told, it only takes a few minutes in Sony SC. There is no clear guideline in applying the tourist limited warranty through mail or e-mail so I will be hesitate to send the local warranty card in just in case it get lost.

Sony has two SC, one in Mongkok and the other one in Causeway Bay in the HK island side. And they are open 7 days a week so might just pop in and get your warranty card converted.

No idea about camera bag price in Shenzhen. Perhaps China made bags might be slightly cheaper in Shenzhen but I have not bought any bags there. I am only using Billingham bags at the moment.

You can try Apliu street for made in China camera bags, these camera bags are generally cheaper is you are not particular about brands
