Originally posted by SpecialK Or store employees, either. I pointed out a $5.00 price difference on (I think) a lens brush/tissue/cleaner combo, and the store employee said the website was run by "different people".
In our defense, the Ritzcamera.com site is actually run by different people. I believe that it was spun off of the parent company (ie, ritz camera) as a separate entity. Ritz Camera stores and the website can have differing prices, though the products are usually the same.
As inneyeseakay pointed out, most Quantaray items are re-badged. The lenses come from both Sigma and Tamron, and in the past they have offered a re-badged Tokina lens as well. The filters are, I believe, Tiffens, allthough Q-ray does offer re-badged Cokin P-system filters as well. I'm not sure where the bags come from.
