Tokina 11-16 lens

yes I have...you can see it in my signature

Can you tell me who got you the lens in Kolkata? His contact details? I need it for my Canon 7D. And have you used Tokina's 35 mm prime lens? Any idea, how's the result?

Hi

I want to buy tokina 11-16 F2.8 lens for canon 40D..
I live in mumbai.., which place should be the best?

and do you think there will be considerable difference in pice if i buy it in grey market?

and what if i want to buy a used lens? any good place?

thanks and regards,
Japs

Go to camera street near CST or Colaba area. There are lots of camera shop which will give you good bargain.

Once I had talks with Gaffarbhai of Mumbai who told he keeps this lens

I have not used the Tokina 35 mm prime. You can see the test results by me and albums exclusively by this lens in my Facebook and Orkut account.

Mithu - Leica Camera of Khidderpore 5 star market brought me this lens.

hi checked on phone with couple of guys and they offered

31K in grey without bill and 37K in white with bill and year warranty?

do u think these prices are fair? or should i get it cheaper and look for other places?

also bcs of budget constraints i was wondering if i can get it second hand or used lens... any suggestions where can i find..


cheers

Is that a sealed box?

No. it is not but he had over 100 boxes and i hceck 20 of them none was sealed..as per him tokina boxes done come sealed..i inspected the lens and it was shining like a gem... u dont need more then that to confirm if the lens is new..anyways even first i was buying with bill and for that also he was giving me the same box.

anywyas i bought it from ria enterprises and their address was given to me by the wholesale dealer of tokina in india..and they will give only that of a reputed place.. and by the way i also felt that the ria enterprises were also very straight forward and trust worthy shop to buy...rest is luck as it is electronics... u never know.

by the way i have written so much...without asking why are u asking if the box was sealed?

Well, I haven't bought anything from grey market yet may be because I don't own any of those expensive lenses Just my curiosity as you got it from grey. All the Canon and Sigma lenses I picked were sealed packs (with bill) though I don't own any Tokina. Btw, this one is in my wish list and hoping for the price to drop a little

prices of this lens has been constant and dont think to drop in near future...

just to have an idea about various camera price trends have a look at this..
