    Hi guys.

    So I have looked at the main websites for photo equipment in regards this.

    Can anyone point me in the right direction.

    It would have to be able to be shipped to Ireland so some of the cheapest US sites seem to be out as I guess would have to pay money in Import tax aswell.

    Is it safe to buy from ebay shops from Hong Kong.

    Any recommendations would be great .

    Thanks.

    Some of the Hong Kong sellers are quite reputable (check their sales and seller ratings on eBay) but you will also be liable for import taxes as they apply to anywhere outside the EU.

    There is one with an Irish location on eBay at the moment for €700 that claims to be unused as someone changed their mind - says they have a warranty form Conns Cameras. Could be worth checking out to see if its legit.

    Glad you found it. You could try arrange to meet the seller if possible so you can check the equipment, and avoid postage.

    Hope it goes OK for you.

    Seems to have good feedback so trust AOK.
    Would spend the 25 for postage on petrol so think I will get delivered.

    All I have to do know is sell my 350 d.
