Re: Buying Lens in Shanghai
I saw two or three shops at the basement of Metro City 美罗城 at 徐汇区, in Sept last year. The prices of lenes were higher. I also went to one shop in Beijing last year, the prices were also higher.

Re: Buying Lens in Shanghai
I got a friend who told me about some area in SH. Not specifically for lens or camera body but the accessories such as light stands were much cheaper. Will ask him to share once he is back to SG.

Re: Buying Lens in Shanghai
if it's not safe to buy things in china, it's probably not safe to travel in there either?

Re: Buying Lens in Shanghai
try HK market, where is usually 10% cheaper due to the low tax/zero import duty there. |

Re: Buying Lens in Shanghai
Do a search in CS. This topic has been bought up many times. There are 2 building in Shanghai dedicated just for photography. One of the building is call Xing Guan She Yin Cheng. Accessories are much cheaper there, as for body and lens should be comparable or cheaper. Not sure after the price hike. Do your homework before going.

Re: Buying Lens in Shanghai
Is not any cheaper buying body and lenses in Shanghai. But you may be able to find some affordable made in China accesories such as tripod, ballheads, bags etc.
I bought my Jusino Tripod and Ballhead from Shanghai. Been using it for the past 6 months. Not too bad so far.
