Not sure how many people will be able to answer this. Are there other forums out there that might be able to help, specifically in regards to Hong Kong?
Anyway, Wing Shing Photo has been highly recommended not just by locals but by photography forums too. The only thing is that their prices are not set and it's negotiable. I've seen some friends haggle before but I've never done it myself.
Tin Cheung Camera, the other reputable camera shop in Hong Kong, sells the Tokina 11-16 at a set price of 5100 HKD, approximately 654 USD
1. When haggling, do I ask THEM for a starting price or will they ask me?
2. I was thinking of starting off with 4300 HKD as the asking price. I know I probably won't get it, but I should work from there?
3 My target price is 47-4900 HKD. Does this sound reasonable?
4. At a place like Wing Shing, if I don't like the price, should I just keep calm and walk away? I know that works a lot in the street vendors and other places you can bargain, but Wing Shing is way more "official" even though they bargain
