Grey imports where?

[dullbird]

Ok so I have decided while I have the money in my account I'm going to buy a lens...

I already have a lens in mind but can't afford to buy in oz as too expensive..looking for a couple of grey importers..

digital Rev is just out of my price range also....anymore?

Have not used any of these.. but from what I have read these are the go

DWI
Discount Digital Photographics
DD Electonics
Citiwide
Portagadgets

Use shopbot (http://www.shopbot.com.au/) to search for what you want should give you the best price.. then just do some research on which it would be best to buy from.

Bought my camera from DWI. Only problem was that the package arrived before the tracking number.

Thank you!!

was feeling a little depressed that both times I have saved over 2grand for my next lense I have had to spend it on the disco for repairs...

So was getting a little ****ed off as you can imagine... I had couple of hundred dollars sat in the bank for the disco's next set of shocks and I thought stuff it I dont have a landscape lens and I would really like one will also help taking shots of the house inside as my middle tamron lense isn't small enough:(

So I just bought the new tokina 12-24mm Mark11.....:)

I remember chucaro saying it was a great lens and I had read many reviews over the last couple of days including on other forums that said its as good as if not better to its Nikon equivalent....


So tonight I thought stuff it.....its been a while and I have saved twice with no success I'm going to buy it..so I did:)

Congratulations on your fine choice, it is a great lens!
All my landscaping images HERE (http://www.pbase.com/arthurplottier/landscaping) are with the Tokina 12-24 using a tripod to get sharp images early in the morning.
When you have some more money get the best Hoya polaroid filter that you can afford ;)

I am looking foward to see some photos in the near future.

Good that it is the one :)

I really really like the pics of sapphire beach chucaro and I really like the sunrise path pic as well...I only hope i can take pics as good as yours:)

[Chucaro]

Of course you can, just take your time to have a nice composition and have a GOOD tripod.
Experiment with the composition and always try to capture a good foreground which will make the image pop up.
The 90% of the images in my site have the tripod not more that 400mm fron the ground.
You will see that with the Tokina set @ infinite focus you will have a FG in focus from about 500mm to infinite.
Try to use it on aperture priority and if it is possible on the range fro f/7 tp f/11
F/9 is my favorite set-up on that lens with the D200.
Cheers
