Dubito che questa l'abbiano afferrata in molti

I live in Pisa but I'm from Ligury actually, so I still consider myself a kind of guest

Sellers of ltd lenses are also good candidates (just kidding...)

Maybe

You don't need to use them so often to appreciate a special thing. Special things are not for everyday use but for special events.

so lend it to some (good) friend for a while

Sell it if you need the money to get something else, otherwise keep the lens if you still enjoy using it, even from time to time.


I agree, could I ring your dad? I live not so far from Florence

Samsung arrived in super conditions.

Many thanks to madactuary for the good communication and the perfect transaction, a real pleasure to deal with.

What's more I noticed all eBay auctions read "made in Japan" while the Nicna factory is actually located in Shenzhen, China, as you can see from the company profile on this Chinese marketplace

I came into these cheap Nicna filters which model names are omonymous to high regarded Hoya/Kenko

I wonder if anyone had the chance to try them so that he could reassure me that the name is the only thing they have in common, not to mention quality.

... and that's the problem ... Just kidding, but most likely the postal service is less efficient in Rome, Milan, Turin, etc. than in small towns.

I live in Pise and in the last 4 years I bought almost 30 items from UK (lenses, cameras and related accessories) and never had shipping problems. Airmail parcels always arrived within 10-14 days (most of them within a week).

The most reliable/affordable service for sending goods to Italy is Royal Mail airmail international signed for (prices are online, additional insurance is quite cheap and recommended for high value items). That's because packets are delivered by "Poste Italiane" (the actual national mail service) not by SDA (an unreliable company which they outsourced express delivery services). In the past packets that were expected to be signed on delivery actually didn't but they eventually fixed the problem so, nowadays, if the postman doesn't find you at home, he leaves a message and you can collect the parcel at the post office.

As usual the buyer should assume all the risks of shipping provided the items are well packed . A couple of times I received lenses sent into an envelope (!!), just wrapped with little foam. I was luck because they both arrived undamaged but the packaging was definitively unappropriate for overseas shipping... A final suggestion is to seal the packets with plenty of sellotape
