I'm looking on Digitalrev and they are selling the Tokina PRO DX II AF 11-16mm f/2.8 lens for 3900 HKD
A quick google currency converter says this is £298.00 ish

Surely that can't be right?

What it will be is that they'll be adding on the taxes to the UK store price, but not onto the HK hence the difference, no idea why your not able to access the UK version of the store though
 
What happens if you click my link above?

If it still goes to the hk site, scroll to the bottom of the page and click the hk flag, it will bring up a list of countries and then go to the local site for that country.

Nice one mate, twas just me being dense!!!
 
Nick, I don't know where you are, or whether you are in fact looking for the Tokina lens, but Halesowen Photo centre has a mark 2 Nikon fitting " used" one for £299. I put used in italics as this lens has never been used, just can't be sold as new. I was very interested but decided I wouldn't get the use from it as landscape isn't really my thing. By the way, I have no connection with the shop other than being a customer, if you need any more info let me know.

I'm in Newcastle and use a Canon camera!!! But i appreciate the thought :-) thankyou :-)
 
The mobile site defaults to the HK version, for me. Changing the country, as suggested, or from a PC will direct you to the UK site.

Did you get your tokina ok?
I bought one on Wednesday, it's at my local fedex depot according to the tracking and should be here in the morning. At half price, I just couldn't say no.

It is absolutely brilliant. Head and shoulders above the sigma. :)
 
Wow, what a stunning shot to show off the lens... Absolutely stunning!

I've had the sigma, and my dad has the tokina mk1, can't wait to play.

Did you find the b&w 10 stop at a bargain price to match anywhere?

I bought it from the classifieds here. It was £55.00 but worth every penny. There's hardly any colour cast at all. Very slight warm cast but easy to sort out in pp. The ONLY thing that's a bit of a pain is its a screw in one but that's more me being lazy, as long as you compose and focus before screwing it on then you're sorted :)
