Unfortunately the blog theme calls for 450 pixels wide pictures and videos, so you'll have to click through to youtube to see the glorious HD http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G7xq1h5KwuE

This is cheap (shipping included!):

  • "Yongnuo TC-80N3a" intervalometer: 23 eur
  • "Canon" Tripod collar Type A (W): 9,80 eur
  • LP-5E compatible battery: 4.46 eur

Compared to "original" Canon products (shipping not included):

I wonder, who is fooling who?

I've made a list of a subset of EF-lenses by Canon and looked up the prices at local webshop verkkokauppa.com, the German ac-foto.com, and compared these to bhphotovideo.com. The conclusion from the histogram below is something I sort of knew beforehand, but I'm still a bit shocked by how big the price difference is.

Compared to Finland, it's (10 +/- 7) % cheaper to buy your lenses from Germany. And it's a huge (38 +/- 9) % cheaper to get them from the US! (I've used the current dollar/euro rate of 1.3)

(click image above to download a pdf)

Check this out: EF-135 f/2.8 SoftFocus, 71% cheaper in the US, or look at the EF-28/2.8, 63 % cheaper!

disclaimer: this is not the complete set of EF-lenses, prices checked from the corresponding websites 26.1.2009, your mileage may vary.
