Lense Shopping, Great Exchange Rate...need anything?

Howdy all,

Despite the economic crud going on in the U.S, the exchange rate for the South Korean Won is great right now. $1 = 1324 Won. There 1000 won bill is like our dollor usually with the exchange rate. I am giong to look at lenses this weekend. If you would like mr to find something for you, i will ship at shipping Costs only, no profit for me. Just trying to help some folks out. Myself im looking to get a 18-250mm lense.

Anyways, let me know if you want me to look at prices on something for you.

Steve

Not to put a damper on anything, but if I remember correctly, you are in the military. When I worked for the Army in Germany (76-79 and 83-88), the JAG office would periodically tell us not to do stuff like this. Of course, not everyone listened (), but just a thought. I wish I could remember all the rules in place at that time, but I also seem to recall that there were some family exceptions. Things might have changed by now.

I think that was more so people buying things at the PX and selling on the black market. Im not making any profit myself just trying to help people. We can disreard this thread though to not seem like anything is shady here.

thanks

Maybe you should post some prices when you get back from your shopping trip so we can see what we missed out on.
