FarangFB Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 (edited) I've been looking for a Canon 17-55mm 2.8, possibly the best EF-S lens made by Canon. I usually find my gear at a price on par with BHphotovideo store in America, but for some reason thai shops are charging a bit more for this particular lens, and without giving the Canon warranty. Here (by the time of this post) it can be found for 879 dollars, which converts to around 27250 baht (as of today) http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/425812-USA/Canon_1242B002AA_EF_S_17_55mm_f_2_8_IS.html I've looked 3 online catalogs from shops considered cheap at Fortune Town, they usually have the best prices (but often don't give you the original warranty paper), and even at these shops I can't get it for less than 29900 baht (official Canon shop is way over that, around 36000 baht if I remember correctly) Anywhere else I should be looking?

angiud Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 You could try ground floor at MBK (Fotofile). They sell good used glasses, with warranty too. Must bargain a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt1591 Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 (edited) FotoFile lists it at 34,500, on sale.I bought the Sigma 17-70 2.8~4 macro for under 15,000 baht (about the same as BH Photo) and have been quite pleased with it. Sure, you lose a stop at 50 mm. But then, you gain macro capability and 15 extra mm focal length! Edited September 20, 2013 by Curt1591 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
