Landed price? USD870 inc seafreight is around AUD945.
I think lenses/OTAs are exempt from duty but not GST.
Add GST AUD94.50, add customs charges AUD55, comes to AUD1094.50, but there may be some surprises I haven't allowed for.
I guess you'd need to add about USD200 for courier/airfreight if you were in a hurry to get it.

Still a bargain. I want one to replace my ED80. If I brought a few in, would anyone be interested in one?

Cheers,

Rob
at that price i certainly would
