Hi all,
Apologies in advance if this is the incorrect board. If so, feel free to refer me to the correct place to post.
Our family is currently upgrading gear for our family slot machine sales business and have the 24-70 2.8 II in mind as it fits out needs. While researching prices at various vendors, we noticed that the pricing information on this lens was all across the board with Abes of Maine being one of the lowest, and yet one of the highest priced vendors for this item.
Listing 1
http://www.abesofmaine.com/item.do?item=CN247028II&id=CN247028II&&kbid=*
This model is priced at $1495
SKU #: CN247028II | Part #: 5175B002
Brand New Factory Fresh Import Mode
I'm guessing this is grey market and would be the reason the price is so low?
Listing 2
http://www.abesofmaine.com/item.do?item=CN247028IIU&id=CN247028IIU&&kbid=*
This model is $2399
SKU #: CN247028IIU | Part #: 24-70 2.8II USA
Brand New, USA Warranty.
It appears the price is higher as this is a USA model and not an import.
Our family is familiar with import vs US, however we are wondering if the price is different due to listing 1 being a 'grey market' model? There is a significant pricing difference here.
Also, we were interested in knowing whether it was worth purchasing from this vendor and if they have a good reputation on FM? Reviews seem to be across the board online, but we've usually somewhat skeptical of reviews since they tend to go from 1 star to 5 stars.
Any feedback or thoughts would be appreciated!
- Matt
