Hey guys,

A friend of mine is returning from Dubai this weekend and he is prepared to bring me back something form the camera shop at the airport. I'm looking at either the Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 L Macro that is R9,600 here in SA, or the battery grip for my 7D (R2,399 here in SA).

Firstly, can I expect that the prices are better at the DF shop?

Secondly, anything he needs to worry about when coming through to Durban with the goods? He's a little nervous.

Any tips / advice for my friend and I would be appreciated.
 
I've been to Dubai a couple of times, and I rarely saw something cheaper there!
 
The Sigma 18-200mm, R4395 @ ORMS was US$431, which is approx. R 3250, when I was there.
If they nab you at the airport and you have to pay duty and VAT there won't be much difference in the end.
