The senond hand D30 around HKD 7000 to 8000.

wiet4free said:
will someone please check this out for me?
And are there still D30 body's available and for what price? I'm
thinking of buying a second body.

There is one shop selling Sigma lenses, the name of the shop is
"Holiwood AV Center" .... not sure the name.... more or less like
that. You can go there by MTR and exit from E2 Exit (Bank Center
Exit). When you see the Body Shop and turn to the right and walk
around 2-3 min and the shop is there.
But beware that the shop is marked as "Black Shop" by some people.
But it will be ok if you carefully check the parts and the warranty
card etc...

I got a couple of bags and some filters, angle finder C for
HK$1200, 1.4X II for HK$2400.

Where did you buy this package for HK$2400?? I'm interested in buying the 1.4x II extender - how much was that? Any good deals on Gitzo tripods and monopods?

Thanks,

I bought a Riteck 20X 512MB CF from Australia for US$210 and waitting to see if it is as goog as they claim.

alexhk said:
Not that difficult to find 512MB CF in HK. But they are TOO
EXPENSIVE!! HKD ~~1900 for one. Enough to get 3x256CF cards.~~

I also want to buy the Angle Finder C , 1.4X II and 2X before Saturday. I am planing to do some Water Lily shooting.

Joe DeSouza said:
Meanwhile, I am checking around for more prices but couldn't seem
to get straight answers on the phone. I am leaving tomorrow noon so
I got only the morning left to shop till u drop...

It is really difficult to get around when you don't know the place.

Jimmy Lam said:

P.S. Did you buy anything today?

Jimmy

Joe DeSouza said:

Can you find out the prices of the EF 180 Macro and the 550EX for
me, please.

Jimmy Lam said:

The prices are from Man Shing, but I am not too sure about the
Sigma lenses, I didn't see them in Man Shing or Wing Shing. I will
try to check to see where you can find Sigma stuff.

Don't overdue it with you Visa/Master,

Jimmy

Joe DeSouza said:

I am still in HK.

Where can I find the above and at what pricing?

Thank you.

I am also interested in a Sigma 50-500 but can't seem to find any
in Mongkok. Do you know where I can get them here in HK & pricing?

I think I will blow my Visa/Master/or whatever this time for sure

Jimmy Lam said:

Canon Battery Grip for D30/D60: $1,250HKD or $160 USD
Canon Battery Grip Strap (E1): $160HKD or $20.00 USD
Canon BP511 Battery: $490HKD or $63.00 USD
EF 16-35 L F2.8 Lens: $10,000HKD or $1,300 USD

Not what type of prices are in the US but I would imagine
comparable, of course all of these items are with full Canon HK
warranty, if you go and find gray market items they will be
cheaper. If others are looking for other items and prices please
let me know, I can find out pretty quickly. take care guys.

Just got into HK and spent a whole day looking at lenses, etc.

Good deals, Amigo, lots of them.

Battery grip, hand strap, cheap, cheap, plenty of stock. 16-35,
100-400, cheap, cheap, happy, happy....

However, some of the sales people are really jerks. And remember
once you paid, that is IT! Don't even think about exchange or
refund. So be very careful before you pull out your wallet.

Can you be more specific, what's the price there for 16-35?

thanks

syklab01 · May 28, 2002

I wanted to get both the 1.4X and 2X with the below combinations:

1.4X Kenko + 2X Canon or 1.4X II Canon + Kenko 2X

The above will allow me to stack them together, but getting both 1.4XII + 2X Canon will not allow any stacking.

Any advise?

arki · May 28, 2002

Usually in HK there will be NO test before buying those expensive product. And since HK people always like to buy 100% new and must new out of the box product. They afraid you will test and not going to buy the lens. So, they need to confirm you are at least agree with the price.

I ordered an officially imported D60 with full Canon international warranty for HK$16000. That's 1406 UK pounds. However, delivery date is unclear at the moment.

Grey market imports from Japan are available for immediate delivery. I think the price woud only be very slightly cheaper though.

Are you sure your 'official HK' D60 has full international warranty? As far as I know, canon digital cameras (include DSLR) do not carry international warranty. The warranty should be valid for Hong kong and Macau only.

Zero · May 28, 2002

That has got to be the biggest turn-off. If they don't even allow you to mount a lens and shoot a few frames, then I would take business elsewhere.

With a population over 6mill and the world's most avid consumers, HK better offer the service soon or they will lose many to the US houses. The world is getting smaller. these guys better smarten up soon.
