Has anyone ever buy online lenses from Tin Cheung ??

Tin cheung camera is a online camera store based in Hong Kong. This store seems to have lots of Pentax lenses and guess what ?? It's much cheaper.. They sell the DA* 50-135 as AUD$1134 while in Australia is AUD$1600 for the new lens. The shipping costs 80 bucks and gonna arrive in 5-10 days...

Has anyone ever bought stuff online from them ? Share the experience please, since i've never bought lens online and from overseas store..

So did you ever buy anything from Tin Cheung? I'm curious what your experience was. They have the AG-80 screen for my 645NII, but I'm just hesitant until I hear what more people have experienced. Thanks

Add 10% customs duty if the purchase is over $1000 AUD.
And no, I haven't bought from him.

I have not bought from them online, but I have been to their shop in Kowloon, Hong Kong. They are quite a reputable camera store. They do have A LOT of pentax stuff. They seem like a good bunch.

You could possibly get it cheaper from The States though.

10% GST; there is no duty on photographic equipment.
