My Spyder 2 came today, via UPS from Adorama. Hmmmm coincidence? :lol: I must say that the Spyder is an excellent buy too, I'm stoked with it. I can't believe how much my monitor was out! :shock:

Rob,
Around $200.00 landed here, use USPS more quicker, cheap way and no GST.

If you buy locally but not from Kayell, it should cost around $825.00 for all three items. :wink:

Spyder 2 US$149.95 + US$40 postage, i.e. US$189.95 all up, around AUD$255. Having your monitor properly calibrated and photos turning out as they should: priceless! :)
