I agree Tony, camera gear is cheap on ebay. I bought a 50mm f1.4 lens about a year ago from cameraaction.com.au for $600 + postage, I thought that price was good after going into Ted's and finding they wanted over $1200. That same lens on ebay is about $350 new.
I bought a camera from an ebay shop a couple of months ago. The best price in Australia was $1400+, I got it imported for $830 including all fees.
I do wonder if some of this gear is the real thing, or if it is the worst of a production batch with minor faults, but it's so much cheaper and if it's got a warranty there shouldn't be any problems.
