http://forums.clubsnap.org/showthread.php?t=265490&highlight=orientHeard so much about Orient Photo at SLS...
Are they that good price-wise and service standards?
What can I find there?
:think:
Before you buy anything from OP, I would strongly suggest that you do your homework first. Don't just listen to what people said, etc.
Some lenses prices are the same as Cathay Photo, etc but what distinguish between them is one sells grey set while the latter sells warrantied set. Therefore, the choice is yours.
Shop Warranty i would say..
anything wrong within the 1st year, go back to them directly.. (same policy as TCW..)
you can use english as your primary language for communication..
the lady working there has a decent command of english
the men, on the other hand, can understand you if you use a mixture of english and chinese. just drop by their store or call them directly for a quote.. it wont cost you an arm or leg from asking. :cheers:
So 'Gray Sets' are without warranty?
:what:
Yes, all their stuff are grey but come with 1 year shop warranty.
But the question is if Cathay Photo is selling a lens at $780, and Orient Photo is also selling at $780, which one would you buy? :think: Do you prefer a piece of warranty card so that you can go to Canon Service Centre for servicing if anything goes wrong or send the lens back to the shop and let them do the necessary? Therefore, like what I have said - the choice is yours, i.e. up to individual preference.
Another thing to take note, not all their stuff are cheap, so do your homework first. Just because someone mentioned it is cheap, does mean that it applies to everyone.
Hmm...just been to OP this afternoon, and I Must say... quite exceptional service attitude...
and rather competitive prices! Good thing I left my credit cards at home...
They are like a mini-version of CP; but MUCH friendlier!
Well, as a token I just bought a Cokin P series holder and a 77mm ring for my SIGMA widey.
.. oh and a grey card..
Verdict: NICE shop! Will be there often!
how much did u pay for the Cokin Pseries holder and the 77mm ring.?:think: ... thinking of getting it too..![]()
