Buying from CameraSky

[BilliGoatsGruff (Billi)]

Has anyone purchased from this site before? They seem to be cheapest for what I'm after, but I've never actually heard of them before.

I'm hoping to get the Samyang 14mm through them. It worked out cheapest for shipping, extended warranty etc.

*update*

It's been a fortnight since I placed my order and it is still marked as "processing". I emailed their customer support team on Friday and was told that it would be shipped "in the next 48 hours." Not sure what that means, seeing as those next 48 hours were the weekend. I just sent them another email, so fingers crossed it gets shipped off today!

Hi,
I hope your lens arrived?

Go to the Whirlpool forum and search for "CameraSky" in the photography section. The post is a real eyeopener.

It did I forgot to update the post. The lense xleaning kit that I purchased with it, however, has not. I ordered everything over a month ago (July 17th) and apparently now the kit is somewhere in Australia but I don't know where.

It seems that, sometimes, cheapest isn't the best option.
