From where to buy and which one

[AcadieLibre]

Shopping around is always good and of course it depends on what you are purchasing. Photographic lenses are very different from accessory filters, lights, or paper.

And You should not shop around and make and informed decision on lenses? Just not sure what your point would be on this. Each person will usually when equipped with all the store options can visit, get a feel and then make an informed decision on who to deal with. I have been in and spoke with employees with each of the places mentioned several times recently and I would have no issue in dealing with any of them for a $30 roll of paper or a $1600 lens.

Well, a recent camera purchase was $100 cheaper at Downtown Camera than Henry's and then when it came to the lens, it was also $100 cheaper.
I had both prices.

Still same question, they are in a 25 minute walk 5 places to get prices and information and you went to two, where I would go to all 5. I picked a lens at random and did a price check, so you went to two and maybe could have saved more if you would have checked the other 3 options. Just saying. And if one of the Two Aden stores don't have it on stock they will get it for you.

I prefer to make sure I am getting the best deal for my money, unlike you on this purchase if you stuck between Henry's and Downtown Camera you would have paid and extra $20.00, it would cover the cost of an ink replacement for my R1800 printer and the taxes, all for a few minutes work, I like my money too much part with more than I have to. On a different lens it might be different, why it is wise to shop around.


Downtown Camera - Canon EF 17-40mm L f/4 L USM: $810.00

Aden - Canon EF 17-40mm f/4 L USM: $789.99

Henrys: Canon EF 17-40mm f/4 L USM: Price: $849.99

Vistek: Canon EF 17-40mm f/4 L USM: $859.95

Easy way to find out the price, and at times they have open boxes at Henry's warehouse and some incredible deals with the exact same warranty, but its hit and miss. Which lens and body did you get?

Thank you so much Tegan, Travis, and AcadieLibre. I will look into everyone and tell you guys later what I found out. Travis I didn't think of a polarizer. Thats why One should take advise from the professionals.
