george_mazzetti1 Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 I guess it won't be for sale in the USA. What is the price? George Mazzetti Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PuppyDigs Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 I'm sure the gray market importers will bring it in. Or maybe a great excuse to vacation in Asia... Sometimes the light’s all shining on me. Other times I can barely see. - Robert Hunter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark u Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 It is starting to be offered at prices around $400, possibly as grey import. That doesn't mean that there is stock behind the offers though. I'd wait until the more reliable sources advertise availability - partly because it may end up a bit cheaper.

jakobl Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 In Europe it is available for quite some time now, I've seen it lying around at my local dealer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steven_moseley1 Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 Hi, It was released in the UK about a month ago and most UK dealers sell it for 229 GBP, but can be found for 199 GBP easily. Nice to see we get something first, although I am sure the USA prices will as usual be far below ours... cheers Steve.M. (UK) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keith_lubow Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 Now, to figure out how to convert it for the 10D... keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donald_a Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 Does anyone know why equipment costs so much more in Europe than in the US, even after accounting for currency exchange rates? Is it import duties or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keith_lubow Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 I will be there at the end of March, Johnny (Helsinki, then Tampere), then off to Sweden afterward. How's the weather? I guess I should bring E279.00 with me. Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wes_baker1 Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 Keith, Why would it need some kind of conversion for a 10D? Doesn't the 10D use the regular old EOS lensmount? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwtphoto Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 i believe this lens is an EF-S lens. which means it will only work on the 1.6 crop bodies starting with the 20d - no 10d unless modified. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
