I see. I'd suggest you see how's the response of my MO. If many people are getting the lenses, prices will go down even more.

BTW i've seen your artworks in your website, they are really great!

Haha! I love your fusion style in some of the fine-arts painting.

Anyway, i'd suggest you don't cancel the order. Must be fair to them.. Hehe.. Unless you are desperately urgent to get the lens.

Cathay Photo is having a new promo on the Tokina 12-24mm. But now the price is higher at $929 with less attractive freebies

LORDS? Think again - http://forums.clubsnap.org/showthread.php?t=172314

That is 1 incident. If you want to make a survey of everyone`s experiences there, then I am very sure that Lords is one of the better shops around there. At the very least on par with Cathay Photo, TCW or MS Color.

You are being very biased against the shop especially for a person who did not even visit the shop once.

MY experience with Lords has always been positive.

Does anyone know if they still have the grey sets left?

:bigeyes: :bigeyes: Really? Wow.. must call them up

 

[heady]

Err... where is Lords? Pardon the newbie.

 

[helfizad]

Lords at lucky plaza... bought it there.. an now very happy wid the result

 

[Red Rush]

Newby here...

What are the implications of buying grey? No local warranty? Will there be any warranty at all - such as a seller's warranty?

Has anyone bought grey market lenses? Would be grateful if you could share your experiences with me.

Thanks!

 

[helfizad]

ask for 7 days warranty from the shop... anythin g can return back to them...

do they still have it helfizad??

 

[Red Rush]

OK, thanks for the response.

I think that I am not good enough to evaluate a lens within 7 days given my current skill level.

P'raps I'll just go for the 50mm for now. Don't know if I'll go for the 1.4 or the 1.8...

The 12-24 Tokina and the 18-200 Nikkor are definitely on my shopping list as well... Just don't know when I'll get around to buying them. The 70-200 Nikkor was the single most impressive lens I've ever tested, but price aside, I know that I will not lug around a lens that big when I am travelling... so it does not make sense to get that... :bheart:
