Hi everyone,
Just wondering if anyone has bought Westcott Apollo 28" Softbox and Pocket Wizard TT1-TT5 (Nikon CE-version):think:. I have been to Shum Shui Po before.

I'm planning to get the two items any useful advice, information, Pocket Wizard warranty, and specific branch to go to.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Jay, sorry I can't help you directly, but I've been looking around Hongkong a bit, mainly in Mongkok, haven't found a good store for larger lighting modifiers such as umbrellas and softboxes yet. Did you manage to find a place to buy the Westcott Apollo or do you know of other shops that are good to buy these? Thanks!

Anyone going HK can help do a check on the price of a non-warranty set Sigma 300-800mm for Canon? Price.com.hk doesn't seem to have prices from the popular stores.

Hi there, does anyone know if the shops in HK airport itself sell dslr and lenses and if their prices are reasonable? If I were to transit in HK (from Sg to Korea) for a few hours and would like to go to shops like Tin Cheung to buy some lenses, how much is the return transport to and from the airport and also do i have to pay to get thru the customs to go out of the airport? Roughly how many hours do I need to be able to go down to shops like Tin Cheung and back to the airport?

Thanks!

 

[CS TAN]

You will need at least 4 hours min. to have time to travel and shop (5-6 hours preferable). I have replied your other post over in General Tech Talk section.

Hi Paniku,
No, haven't had any good shops or place to go.
May have to abort the Westcott idea and go visit Sham Shui Po again :bsmilie: and try to go Profoto and Elinchrome.

I just came back from HK... and bought a 16-35 II lens from Man Shing.

Service was excellent. The sales staff gave me the lens to examine and try on my camera even before i said that i wanted to buy it. He left the lens with me whilst he went on to process my payment, so i had no fear of becoming victim of the 'bait-and-switch' technique. The entire process was honest and above board. Although i may have gotten it at a somewhat lower price if i had gone for a grey import from one of the small shops, now i can rest secure knowing that i got a truly brand new lens and not a repackaged second-hand item.

I applaud Man Shing for the good service and pricing, and of course CS Tan for the excellent writeup and recommendations. I would have no qualms recommending Man Shing to forumners looking to buy genuine photographic equipment in Hong Kong.
