I purchased a 50mm Elmar 2.8 M lens on e*ay from a guy in Hong Kong. It was brand new as stated and in the NYC metro area in two days - can't beat that.

Getting to this auction via another method, shows Hong Kong. No idea how that happened! I've never had a problem with anyone from Hong Kong...but I have from Guangdong...and sometimes I've seen sellers/buyers from Guangdong list their location as Hong Kong... So, no problems from Hong Kong that I can attest to, in fact, the sellers who really are from HK have been fantastic. Regards, Austin Hi chatanooga, Note the seller's location. Many people, my self included, have had problems (to the tune of being frauded out of $1160...with PayPal as a willing accomplice) dealing with people specifically from this region. Though this seller does have decent enough feedback, I'd still be cautious.
