Canon Lenses

Does anyonde have an idea on the prices of these. Are they cheaper here than in the UK as i friend of mine who is asking.

I don't know what they are but i know he is a serious photographer.

canon lens 24mm/105mm Lseries lens.

And if cheaper, is Pathip the best place to buy.

Thanks

It is listed here:

Big Camera (ºÔê¡ ¤ÒàÁÃèÒ) | ¡ÅÑͧ´Ô¨ÔµÍÅ (Digital Camera), ¡ÅéͧÇÕ´ÕâÍ (VDO Camera), à¤Ã×èͧàÅè¹ MP3 (MP3 Player), ¡ÒÃì´Ë¹èǤÇÒÁ¨Ó (Memory Card), àŹÊì (Lens), ¢ÒµÑ駡Åéͧ (Tripod), »ÃÔé¹àµÍÃì (Printer), ¡ÃÐà»ëÒãÊè¡Åéͧ (Camera Bags), ¿ÔÅàµÍÃì (Filt

at 44,000 Baht. I don't know how much it is in the UK, but your friend will be able to get a VAT refund if he is just holidaying here.

I buy all my camera stuff at Big Camera, i don't know if they are the cheapest in Thailand but they are the most convenient and give good service imo.

Damn parsing filter,

This is the lens

Amazon is listing it at ~51,000 Baht so it seems cheaper.

No, it would mean sending it to him from here as he's in England. I guess it doesn't really work out that much cheaper.

Thanks anyway.

Still worth asking him how much it is in the UK. The Amazon price I gave was a conversion from US$ to Baht, things like that always seem to be cheaper in the US than the UK.


Edit:

Hmm, perhaps not.. I've just been poking around on Google UK site and the prices listed range from ~£724 (~41K Baht) to ~£1,120 (~63K Baht) so if he can find one at the lower end it's not worth it.

Canon EF Zoom lens - 24 mm - 105 mm - F/4.0 - Canon EF





/bloody 56 Baht exchange rate, grumble grumble

The 24-105 L series lens is 39,500 at Fotofile.

I have one of these lenses, bought through Amazon UK about 18 months ago, paid roughly 1000 GBP at the time, so Thai price seems better. An excellent general purpose lens by the way.

I love it, it's my most used lens, although I've just got the 70-100 IS L 2.8 for 30,000 (68,000 new) and it's a real treasure.
