The other day I decided to do some serious hunting for a telephoto lens for my Canon Digital SLR camera.
I found two lenses that I wanted to purchase. On Amazon of all places, and the price wasn’t too bad, but then I noticed that they would only ship those items to American addresses.
So … who knows of a great place to get camera lenses and accessories online for a good price? A place that ships throughout North America of course. Maybe Ebay? Any other ideas for me?
I was all set to plunk down about $700! It’s there loss. I’ll find the lenses I want at a good price somewhere else.
I’ve bought all of my DSLR gear online. There’s 47th Street Photo http://www.47stphoto.com/ and their ebay shop http://stores.ebay.com/47th-Street-Photo
and Cameta Camera are the two I deal with the most
http://stores.ebay.com/Cameta-Camera & http://secure.cameta.com/index.cfm
Both of them ship to Canada. I’ve found their prices to be pretty darn good, and the customer service from both is excellent!
besides famous website of ebay and amazon.I got no idea what website I can recommend to you… so sorry
Do you have a friend in the US who it could go to and they could forward it on to you?
canon.ca has it’s own e-shop:http://estore.canon.ca/product_catalogue/cat_product_search.asp
Maybe that can help you out.
And a quick search in Google gave me 2 other Canadian stores:
http://www.vistek.ca/camerastore/CameraLenses.aspx
http://www.bestbuy.ca/catalog/subclass.asp?logon=&langid=EN&catid=20268
you could ask a friend from US to buy the lenses for you
or you could search on ebay.
Happy New Year
