If the price stated before April 2011 might not accurate. Recently went up 10 to 20%.

Hi guys,

Just got back from Hkg over the weekend. Bought a Canon 17-40L from Sunnings (Mongkok) for HKD6,080. Man Shing is selling at HKD6,200. The next day, came across a small camera shop along Lyndhurst Terrace & boss quoted me HKD5,950.

I think it is best to stick to the bigger established shops... at least you know you will probably not be cheated. Some smaller shops are known for their 'bait and switch' tactics... the bait being the low(er) quoted price.

Lyndhurst Terrace/Hollywood Road used to have quite a few famous camera shops back in the film days. I bought my first SLR from a shop over in Lyndhurst Terrace in the '80s. But that particular shop no longer exist.

I don't think this is a hard to get item so I would expect you can find it in most stores. I would suggest Wing Shing as they usually holds the largest stock. Take note of not getting the gray set if international warranty is important to you as gray sets usually will not include an international warranty card.

Hi all, I just purchased a phottix battery grip in HK, any idea on how to convert the warranty to international warranty ?

Don't think Phottix has international warranty. However, I know visitors bought Phottix products in HK and need servicing, they have sent the item back to Phottix HK and Phottix has sent a new one back to them within the warranty period.

This is the current market price in HK. Do take not of the price difference between local sets and gray sets.
