Hi,

Just wondering if anyone has had any dealings with http://www.camerasdirect.com.au . They have pretty good prices although their website looks a little dodgy.

Also, does anyone have any comments about ordering lenses on-line then through the mail. How can you be sure they will be treated ok?

Any help appreciated.

I havent delt with them but their ABN checks out ok, been active since June 03... If they were dodgy they'd be gone by now.

They do a lot of selling on Ebay as well - I would trust them :D

About lenses through the mail. Just make sure they are packaged properly, and properly insured. That is about as good as it gets. I buy stuff from the East Coast and OS all of the time. There is very little that travels uninsured. Fortunately, I haven't had to make a claim yet which is all good considering that gear that comes through the post can spend a week banging around inside a bus cargo bin.

Cheers

The other positive thing is that they answered 2 of my emails within a few minutes plus gave me a phone number on which to contact them directly.

Thanks for all the feedback.
