Know anyone coming up to London soon?

I need to get an Oly Zuiko 7-14mm camera lenses. Far too expensive here (a throat-cutting 25% premium). Would appreciate it if you have a contact. Cheers.

Eeps & Weexy said...

Fabulous! All I need now is for someone to help me get it!

Shem said...

where to buy it from and what is the price expected to be quoted? I can try getting it tonight and pass to ashley ASAP before her sister leave on sat. Let me know ASAP.

Hi, just check on the lens prices on ebay as well as a local site. It sits on the range of S$1100 to about S$1500. How much is it in pound incl VAT? I hope I am looking at the right item? The fish eye lens?

ashley...

mebbe u tell the shop u gonna buy this super expensive lens.... then ask for discount on ur ultra-compact digital camera! hahaha.... kill 2 birds in 1 stone.

The latest official Oly price list has it at $2530(http://forums.clubsnap.org/showthread.php?t=171706). I am sure Cathay can give a good price. They quote 2.6+ as you may not have bought there before.
You sure John 3:16 selling for $2.1k?

Shem said...

Yeah, that's what John 3:16 quoted but may need to wait for a while. Cathay usually quote higher than usual over the phone. Yeah I did check clubsnap too. haha! how?

Eeps & Weexy said...

See if you can help me get that at S$2.1k (only that or less!) before Ash's sister comes over. We could net the payment for your camera here. The difference I will transfer to your bank account.

Shem said...

Need to order le. Won't be in time for ash's sister. I can ship to u if u dun mind.

Eeps & Weexy said...

Definitely mind with the shipping charges. Thanks for all your help. Continue to help me check with John3:16. $2.1k is a very good deal.

Shem said...

Why dun i check how much it would cost to ship over to you with insurance and see if you are willing to pay? I bet the cost would be covered by the lower lens price.

No need. I have a friend who's coming over to London on 6 July. She has agreed to bring the lens if it's purchased by then. So really need your help to see if John 3:16 can get it for 2.1k or if some other shops can offer close to that price. Anyway a 100GB portable hard disk will be very useful if you can help me get that as well. One that can store memory and download pics from camera WHILE ON THE GO will be extremely good.
WX, have you given me the address of the shop selling your SLR and lenses?
