V8 is CLOSED!

V8 is hosting by adamismadi.
Kindly read the terms and conditions here: https://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...post&p=64767574



Are B&H reliable?
A lot of ppl asked is B&H reliable? My answer is 100% Yes! They are
more reliable than any camera store in Malaysia, no need to waste time
and ask for best price because all their price is already Best best
price. B&H is the oldest and largest camera store in New York and B&H
has been serving imaging markets for more than 30 years. If you are
reading US Photography magazine like Practical Photography, I am sure
you read their advertisement.

Warranty
This is the buyer responsibility to understand and confirm is the
product that you are buying is having International Warranty.
The confirmation can be obtained from Manufacturer, NOT B&H. Only the
manufacturer can advise you on Warranty coverage.
Most of the Camera body doesn't have International Warranty but Lenses
from Nikon, Sigma, they do provide International Warranty. However, I
urge you to find out yourself and dont take my word as final.
For more information please read here:

Duty Tax:
If you want to buy Memory Cards, Filters, please bare in mind there
items are not duty tax free. Therefore you might be taxed by custom.
But some might willing the pay the tax because even with tax, the
price still cheaper than Malaysia. To estimated the tax, you can add
20% to 30% to the item price + RM25 for disbursement handling fee to
be charged by UPS. However the disbursement fee can be shared since
RM25 is one time fee for 1 package, not by item.

Forex Rate Records:
We will use 3.1 to estimate the price in RM but usually the
rate is lower than 3.1

Below is the actual rate charged by Maybank Master Card:
Updated on V1 Maybank Master Card Forex Rate on 23 Oct 12 is 3.0862
Updated on V2 Maybank Master Card Forex Rate on 2 Nov is 3.079
Updated on V3 Maybank Master Card Forex Rate on 2 Nov is 3.092

Lets keep the main page wish list rolling....

you get the samyang price how much? guess if you get it earlier in KLPF recently, you could save up more...lens itself cost only rm1k...
or you can try buy from:
Samyang 7.5mm Fisheye MFT
this site recommended and the boss also very nice guy...free shipping duh..xD

Thanks for your recommendation, i will check it out.

If i got 3 people share the shipping cost, total cost for the lens is RM983, i think most of the seller here is selling ~RM1200 right.

not equally la, but i will share USD$5.50 more for the postage. adding a card only cost 50 cents more. you get a few more ppl and it will add up

looks like BH has increased their shipping cost. previously you can add quite a few things and the postage doesnt go up as you add things. I ordered before, I know.

OK la... count you in smile.gif

If got 3 people to share the shipping cost equally, this lens will be cheaper by about RM230.
However, please bear in mind Samyang didn't provide international for their lenses, only local warranty from authorized seller.

Normally pay via what method??

I will pay via Maybank master card.
Then I will collect rm100 as deposit.
Then I will wait for Maybank transaction then only you pay me remaining amount while cod your item.
I didn't make any profit.

Haven't tried BH Photo, but tried Amazon due to the lack of certain book titles here in Malaysia sad.gif What to do, have to contribute to the American economy.

Shipment was faster than what they said as I took the cheapest package (28 days), but items arrived within 6-8 days! smile.gif

Usual and easiest way of payment is either through direct credit card (sometimes they reject Malaysian credit cards) or via Paypal. Easy. No regrets. Bought RM 2k of books, which would have cost me about RM 6-7k if bought in MPH/Borders sad.gif
p/s: We're trying to make Techgarage.my the place where you can buy good and affordable stuff too! =) do drop us a pm on how we can improve biggrin.gif

B&H photo shipping via ups. Very fast. 3 working days arrive KL dy.

hi, if this set included shipping around how much?
when can get? TQ
*
Shipping is US$38.80

How i calculate as per below:
Samyang $299
SD Card $64.50 - Buyer willing to share $5.50 for shipping
Sony NEX 5R - $748 (Bigger packaging of course)

So Total Shipping is $63.71 - $5.50 = $58.21
Since your value is higher and bigger packing so i divided $58.21 by 3.
I took 1/3 and you take 2/3
Which is i will pay $19.4 and you will pay the remaining $38.80

Is this make sense?

Based on my experience with BHPhoto, 3 working days will arrive my hand already, depend on when we place order now.

i consider first... only scare no warranty    sweat.gif

Around 3.1 based in MasterCard forex rate. +- some small bank charges. I called Maybank and asked before.

For Nex 5r, Should be US local warranty only one. You need to check with Sony, as BHPHOTO cannot advise in manufacturer warranty term & condition.
