I've been looking for a Nikon F Mount Prime Lens for awhile now, I can't seem to find any cheap one in New Zealand that's not shipped from Hong Kong or second hand…
The Standard/Prime Lenses I want are:
Nikkor AF-S 35mm f/1.8G DX - $263.65
Sigma ART 30mm f/1.4 HSM - $629
I would prefer to buy them in NZ, but most of the Nikkor one are parallel imported from HK or Taiwan (still more expensive than US or Australia), and the Sigma is too pricey as compared to how much they sell in Australia (can get TRS GST back at Airport for goods over $300).
The Sigma ART 30mm are currently selling for $453 in Brisbane (Aus Stock).
So just wondering if anyone knows a camera shop that sells these lenses for decent price in NZ that is not listed on Pricespy?
Or should I just buy it from Australia? Advice?
Don't know of any stores other than those listed on PriceSpy, but I'm sure there are plenty.
I'd say you won't find it much cheaper than Aus after TRS, and the exchange rate is still pretty close.
Not relevant, but I grabbed an EOS 100D (Kiss x7) from Japan when I was there, and it came to ~$600 after tax back, cheapest here is ~$900+.
