Aud = 0.985 Usd , Better Than Parity is Not Far Off ?

The grey market EF 70-200mm f2.8 L IS USM and EF 2x II Extender from the USA are looking like being "affordable" very soon.

I'm very tempted to get a hutech camera, modded would be cheaper than buying new here, add tax it won't be, but still.

Those financial 'talking heads' on tv news have been forecasting better than parity for a few months now.

I,m waiting for parity plus --that will take care of shipping costs.

I just bought a couple of things (dino poop for one) from the US a couple of days ago and got nearly 96 cents via PayPal...

I'd better start saving, there's a few goodies I've had my eye on.

I've taken advantage... and will again before long

got a AC adapter for my 350D (genuine canon) for $52AUD including shipping.. best price I could find in Aus was $89....

Good value Alex, I paid $99 a few months back for one for the 400D.

It's definitely worth perusing the overseas markets at the moment.
