So let's all buy from the States. Maybe we can all gather what we want and share the freight charges.

1. Order some lens that's priced too high here.
2. Fly there with only one lens but a big camera bag.
3. Collect lens from retailer
4. Go for a tour in US and at the same time can test out all the new lens purchase. Can return/exchange if any of them got problem.
5. Fly back

The saving probably can pay for the air fare, plus can save on 5% gst on import as well.

That's good news.

Anyway, B&H packs its lens very well for freight and I've bought stuff from them before. This is 1 mega store to get your photography products from.

at this rate the sony 300 2.8 ssm would be close to KM prices - uh.. eventually..
still, its USD300 off last week's street price.
