Best place to purchase lenses in Aus

[Merlin]

I've noticed a few Australians in this forum, just wondering who your prefered camera dealer is?

I've been looking on ebay a fair bit, noticed the prices from digitalrev and others are alot cheaper then stores like Teds Camera house, but then, how reliable are the stores on ebay? :(

Any recommendations are much apprieciated.

I've purchase 3 lenses from Digital Rev. Very good! Fats and reliable. I too was a little sceptical but I bought a less expensive lens to start with. I've since bought a 70-200mm, 10-22mm and 580ex Flash from them.

I wouldn't hesitate in recomending them.

And you didnt have to pay any GST import fee's?

Try these:
http://www.kayell.com.au Authorised Aussie reseller
http://www.d-d-photographics.com/ Grey market

Or B&H or Adorama in the States. B&H are great but won't ship to Aus if it's over USD1,000 on Credit Cards.:( That's why I tried Adorama.:)

Thanks cw for letting me know that ddphotographics is grey market.
I was thinking of buying from them before. I'll have to look to look at the other website.
