bernard_frank Posted April 22, 2006 Share Posted April 22, 2006 I am sorry if this has been asked before, but I couldn't find the answer. Are the Zeiss ZM lenses in M mount available in Canada, or the US for that matter, and where? Thanks for your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billsr Posted April 22, 2006 Share Posted April 22, 2006 Tony Rose in Thousand Oaks, CA, Popflash dot com, sells Zeiss lenses. Very good prices, as well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prof-K Posted April 22, 2006 Share Posted April 22, 2006 Also, Stephen Gandy @ <a href="http://www.cameraquest.com">Camera Quest</a> sells them. I am in Toronto and I bought from him. Great service and price. He told me it'll take 10 days to ship, and it arrived in just 3 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nasmformyzombie Posted April 22, 2006 Share Posted April 22, 2006 Rich Pinto at The Photo Village in NYC has ZM lenses. B&H also sells them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bernard_frank Posted April 22, 2006 Author Share Posted April 22, 2006 Thanks, friends. I'll look into that. Shakil, how much did Canada Customs charge you to import the lens? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prof-K Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 Hey Bernard, Canadian customs usually charges 15% on items bought from US sent to ON. However, Stephen was nice enough to categorize it as a "gift item", and I was charged 0%!!! Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robert goldstein Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 Hey, Shakil, You just blew Steven Gandy's cover. He'll probably be getting a visit from the IRS soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrew robertson Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 Remember B&H sells these lenses too. I know it's not as hip to order from them, but I have done a great deal of business with them over the years and have always been delighted with the experiences I have had.

vivek iyer Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 Shakil, It is best NOT to discuss details like you did in an open forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prof-K Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 Yikes! Sorry abt that :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prof-K Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 BTW, why should IRS be concerned abt enforcing Canadian laws? Nevertheless, I found the tax thing to be very arbitrary. I mean, even if its a genuine gift item, the customs sometimes charges taxes, and sometimes they could care less (even for new taxable products, declared as a product and not as a gift). Well, whatever... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrew robertson Posted April 24, 2006 Share Posted April 24, 2006 "BTW, why should IRS be concerned abt enforcing Canadian laws?" Comity. It is quite common for governments to collaborate on a case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
