Are lenses cheaper outside the US?

kasyapa_lk · 09-24-2009, 09:20 PM

Hi, I recently decided that my point and shoot just isn't cutting it and broke down and bought an Canon XSi. I love the pictures this camera takes but I'm not to thrilled about how much lenses cost.

So my question is, do lenses tend to be cheaper elsewhere in the world? If so, where and by how much.

Hi there,

You could find cheaper lenses abroad but between shipping costs and quality concerns I would stick with buying at home as the US has a good selection of quality lenses and they're many places where you can get this.

Hope this helps
