I can recommend this store for second hand stuff:
https://tw.bid.yahoo.com/tw/show/aboutme?userID=Y5032155202&u=%3AY5032155202
Ok/good price, very generous warranty (7 days money back, 6 months warranty on most items that aren’t too old) and helpful staff.
I bought a lens with original purchase date of 2017, so already outside of Canon warranty period, and now I have 6 months warranty from the store. The lens was in as new conditions, not a single scratch.
@IbisWtf hey, sorry to ask but what are the Facebook buy/sell groups in Taipei called??
My mom is in Taiwan and wants to have a look at some lenses for sale.
There are 6 gorillions…
This is the general one: 二手單眼相機鏡頭器材
Best one for Canon gear: Canon Fans Market 佳能迷二手市場 二站
I don’t know groups for other brands, but if you look for things like Fuji二手, M43二手, Sony二手 etc etc I’m sure you’ll find plenty of groups.
thanks she has a Canon 5D! I’ll check them out!
Are they for you or your mom? The 10-22 is EF-S and will not fit on a 5D or other full frame cameras. The 11-24 is expensive as ****, but will fit her 5D.
This second hand store has great service and it’s near an MRT station, they have the 11-24:

It’s one of my favorite second hand stores in Taipei because regardless of how old is a lens, when you buy it they offer you a warranty period (sometimes only a week for dodgy lenses, but more often it’s 6 months which is an amazing deal).
The newer 10-18 STM is a much better lens and it’s often a bit cheaper, but I don’t see it in their stock. The 10-18 will only fit APS-C cameras, so not 1D/5D/6D.
Brand new it’s cheaper than a second hand 10-22, I’d buy the 10-18 STM without any doubts at that price. I used it on an 80D for a couple of years and it’s really great.
For a German friend with serious G.A.S.: Where could one find a used one of these for < 290000 NTD?
29,000? Are you mad? That’s a 400 mm fixed aperture lens. I think you mean 290,000.
Yes, thank you. Any ideas?
Japan or usa an option?
Does Taiwan have import duties on 2nd hand goods?
Best advice I can give you is to join this group
