So these are no international warranty? only HK warranty right?

These quotes are from Wing Cheung, and they do not sell grey sets. All quotes from them are with local and international warranty.

Dun get what you mean.... That means the item is covered under both international and local (HK) warranty but not the shop warranty like grey set right?

I am really quite keen on the 12-24tokina as well as the 80200EDf2.8 for nikon... when are you leaving for HK?

Yes. It's the same when you buy from Cathay Photo. What do you get? SG warranty plus the International warranty card. In this case, the local warranty is HK.

hi there, i want to get a second hand lens from a seller in HK, is it possible for you to meet up with him to collect it?

thanks

 

[swhyge]

Jchangcc

So how can we order? Pls advise your arrangement.

Patience :nono: .
I am expecting another quote soon that will include some grey sets pricing. Arrangements will be published on this thread by this weekend.

 

[uncleparty]

oh no! am i too late?

 

[Wai]

I dont mind to fly over to help you bargain (I am a hongkonger) and also help you to carry more lenses back to Singapore.

I guess a small sum ($10-20?) for each item should be able to cover the air ticket for myself?

From what I know, 3rd party lenses are very much cheaper than SG, the risk should be minimal if i can check each item to make sure they works before bringing back

 

[Shaff]

Hey, I know this is a bit off-topic, but I was just wondering which countries are good to buy lenses? Like, usually where can you get the best price on lenses? SG? Malaysia? HK? UK? US? anyone has any views on this?

 

[jchangcc]

oh no! am i too late?

If you are intending to get quotes, you should refer to ydragon website, as I find it pretty accurate and most items quoted by Wing Shing is the same as listed on the website. I will be confirming orders latest by end next.

 

[buddy]

price of the AFD 80-200 is 6580 as opposed to 6380 on ydragon website... price increased? any word on the 77mm L37C filter? thanks..

I called them up to confirm the price, it is 6580, not 6380 . I guess there might be a typo at the ydragon website. But at this price, it's still attractive, at least for me. ;p

Sorry, did you request for quotation on the filter? If you have, I must have missed it out. If you like to call Wing Shing to check the price, the number is +852 2396 6886.
