MadChikken Posted December 12, 2006 Report Share Posted December 12, 2006 (edited) Didnt have any joy in the Random Photo's thread so thought would ask everybody and anybody. Somebody on TF posted a link to this online shop, and the prices are very very cheap! The reason for this is that all stock is couriered from Hong Kong....Although all orders are aparently insured and they accept paypal which means its covered with them aswell, Im still a little cautious as to whether to order a lens for my dslr from here or not...Has anybody used this company? (At this point Im hoping the person who originally pointed me to the shop will step forward and have a positive answer )Any info, much appreciated!Thanks guys and galsM@Edit: Link to shop Edited December 12, 2006 by MadChikken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomm Posted December 12, 2006 Report Share Posted December 12, 2006 I pointed it out before, although I've never used it. I have heard only good things about it though, and I believe Mark (OBM) bought a flash from there. With any luck I'll be ordering a Sigma 10-20 from there soonish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomm Posted December 12, 2006 Report Share Posted December 12, 2006 You might be right, although you save a hell of a lot so you've gotta add up whether a manufacturer warrantee is really worth that much.Two things I do know: 1) Canon lenses have an international warrantee (I.e. it doesn't matter where they come from)2) Canon cameras (I.e. bodies) only have a national warrantee.I have no idea about Sigma though.

Only problem is the lens on cameras2u is £40 more than the other place As for import taxes, they say that they will re-imburse any that is required by the country so...With regards to warranty, the info for the lens states that it comes with a "Sigma International Warranty", am going to email them tomorrow as to whether this is an actual warranty card, as there is a FAQ about this on the Sigma website found here (1st topic): FAQ'sI guess in reality if I had a problem with the lens then it may be easier to get it fixed by somewhere like Jessops or London Camera Exchange but I just dont know!Meh thanks for the input anyway guys Any more welcome 2!M@ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark W Posted December 13, 2006 Report Share Posted December 13, 2006 I got my stuff through DigitalRev before, and it was fine, really. Kept me informed, etc. Got stung for import charges though, £50 request from Mr. UPS delivery man. Rad... Apparently though, Onestopdigital guarantee you won't pay a customs charge? Either way, I've only heard good reviews, and Mike (Fatmike Mike ) was singing their praises before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
