Hoya HMC 62mm HD UV filter?

300 len filter? i know some len filter worth that much but this one i think around 1xx only gua even amazon ebay show around 30-45 usd only

Urgh..dun know why i just take them..picture taken using those things i bought XD

errr.. even normal digital camera perform better than ur camera, do you set anythings wrg? focus point? iso?

lol..i took them in a hurry..dun mind about the photo

That's quite expensive imo, should be less than rm3k with those items.

Yeah, that girl lied to me..aww,so angry.

Ultra Slim HD UV 62mm to be precise...

you can't do anything else imo, just pretend that this is a lesson. i got scammed twice too at different shops in Low Yat Plaza, the price there is just crazy.

instead of angry, just ultilize your camera nicely and forgot about the scam.

Grr,thanx mingyuyu . I'll utilize this things. No wonder their friends show such face when i buy this things. Discount la, etc..oh my..such a sweet words T.T

it's like that la... they need to cari makan also ma. next time you just need to survey prices from many shops before buying.

Lol...that's not cari makan ma. That's total scam. BAD money for living XD
What did u get scam off ?

that filter cost around rm230 only

i can't really tell the shop names, but I wouldn't purchase anything from those shops anymore.

first, make sure do a survey before buying anything.second,you should have brought a friend who knows about dslr and its price before buying.third, just suck it up.you cant ask for a refund for this.

this thing can happen not just newbie..its gud jus buy the camera without any accesories offered, unless something like bag you can buy at bargain..the buyer can play his role too..for example..if they offer bag, u ask for lowepro..if they offer tripod u can ask for manfrotto..if they offer filter u can ask about original hoya or b+w filter..u dont need to buy if the price not right..i find some salesman know only what they sell but little bit of else..it phycological, buyer should mentally strong when u see something exiting but not sure..the best thing to do skip the offer, there always next time if you really need it.

canon eos 100D RM19xx with 18-55 kit

tamron 18-200 RM800-100

Hoya Filter - RM 70-100

hmm not sure ur purchase included kit len or not but if included the price should be not cut throat yet but if only 18-200 tamron than it was at least 200-400 more expensive than what regular can offer

Not including kit lens..it's ok. Next time, i'll be careful T.T

eh? the shop sell you the camera without the lens?
obviously the shop cheated you of the kit lens.
the 100D is sold with the lens. i am pretty sure the box will say with 18-55 STM lens as well.
Unless you agreed to trade in the lens la...no idea why you would want to do that and take the 18-200 anyway.
The 100D is known to be the lightest DSLR camera, but you go add a super huge and heavy 18-200 to pair with it

No la.... Don't feel bad.

Don't think of it as a ripoff..........

You did not get cheated. You just bought it at a not so discounted price la. Just think that is a blessing to them that you did not shopped like a real cheapskate asking for this discount and that discount.

But for the filter, a bit pain for RM 300.00. That is how they do business I guess. I once bought a Tamron at Tarita for about RM 600.00 and they offered me a filter that cost almost the same price as the lens. But I din't fall into it because luckily that time got no more money.

Anyway just be more careful and most importantly, enjoy your new toy.

Cheers...........

take this as a lessons and survey more shops before getting one?

Not that i agreed to trade with the lens. She just asked me to buy 18 - 200 as u don't need to change lens. Mann..she really knows how to do her job (SCAM).

Hahahaha, i'll rip this 'TOY' with good care

just consider urself buying all the accessories at normal price with no "package discount"

hope their didn't give u a ciplak tripod

RM300 for a UV filter is already B+W / Rodenstock level liao.... but i do love them..

btw... confirm both the body n lens not import set rite?

just to let u know... the 100D come with a 18-55 STM lens.. which is great for video with the silent AF motor...

i don think the tamron has it...

The tripod is ok..free items. Lol, not considered free anymore. Honestly, u make me feel sad as Tamron have loud noise. Grr...anyone who wants to know what shop i bought it from. Feel free to pm me ^^

nothing to be sad la... if u don need a feature, then just don't bother.. there is no ultimate, perfect lens...

u can still use MF for video...

FYI.. the price difference between the old 18-55 and new 18-55 STM is an extra RM300...

there is always a cost when they add extra letters to the name

Err...what do u mean by import set ?? Kinda late to ask >.<

means grey set la.. not covered by Canon/Tamron Malaysia Warranty..

grey set still got warranty by the shop.. but not by local official distributor...

if got problem the shop will send back to the country of origin (usually HK) for repairs... so it will take longer..

doesn't mean the product is inferior.. so no worries there

Lol, fast relpy. Thanx. The warranty is ok though. Gonna met her and clarify something after Raya.

I don't call this scam tho, is marketing. Normally they will employ pretty girls to do the sales.

btw, 18-200 Image Quality quite bad even for Canon's lens let alone 3rd party. Sincere seller will ask you to walk nearer if your lens can't zoom that much. TBH with you, 18-55 performs better!


PS: enjoying carrying the 18-200 around (weight).

RIP OFF lor..

TOTAl rip off T.T

Hahaha, lol..thanx I'll enjoy my 18-200....Honestly the weight isn't proportional with my EOS 100D

Well, you can buy a battery grip and slot it in, it will kinda slightly balance off the weight of the lens, and make lugging on your neck less taxing. But there's another unnecessary weight for the sake of comfort. your choice.

2nd alternative is: sell of the 18-200, and get a 15-85 or a 18-55 + 50mm prime(more lens to play around).

Hi, I'm new to lowyat forum as well as to photography. thought I'd tap on this topic to find out what is the general return policy of camera lense. I bought 3rd party wide angle lens on Saturday then then decided to change it to zoom lens on Monday. Went back to the shop at digital mall but was told they will minus 30% of the wide angle lens then top up the difference for the zoom lens. My question is it normal for shop to minus 30% although i bought it less than a week? Thanks.

First of all, it is still a USED unit already, no longer a brand new unit. Doesn't matter whether it is 1 week or 1 month old. It will DROP in value. IMHO, just cut off 7-10% off the current market price.

In this case, it is basically trading in the lens for another lens. You will always lose a lot of $$ when trading in used lenses for another lens. This is a fact as camera shops have to buy it from you cheap and sell it higher in order to make a profit. If you were the shop owner, you'd probably do the same.

If you want to get back as much $$ as you can, sell it in the forums here but you must be patient as these sort of things are not very liquid, meaning you can't expect to quickly sell them. If you are lucky, you might get a buyer overnight if your price is good And if you are even more damn lucky, you are able to find a buyer to trade the lens you are having now with the buyer's zoom lens +top up

So in the end, if you want it fast but lose more $$ = trade in at camera shops
You want to get back as much $$ but willing to be patient = sell in online as a 2nd hand item

I think they are considering that as an used unit. More like a trade in. Maybe you can try to sell here at LYN and see whether you can fetch a better price?

Cheers...........

Once it is sold out the door, the shop cannot take back the lens and sell it as new... they can only sell it as 2nd hand... if not it is considered fraud...

as for how much depreciation can happen in 3 days week.. it depends on each store... a lot can happen in that time...

why don't u try selling it in online forums (like Lowyat ), u will get a better price IMO..

the shop's offered price will be worse because they have to factor in their handling cost to resell the lens as 2nd hand..

if ur lens is one week old only and has no defects, i don think see a problem for u to sell it 5~10% cheaper

Thanks all for the reply and explanations. I understand now. Will definitely selling it online ain't no going back to the shop. I'm still sore about 30% off instead of lower considering it was only 3days old.

3.5k can get upper midrange body liau.
