Hello everyone.... newly registered member here. I'm a very long time member of another (shall remain nameless) forum/site... and I'm a bit disillusioned with it so I'm going to see how things are over here... 🙂
Like a few of the posters above me, I've also ordered from E-Infinity. I ordered both the 16mm 1.4, and the 56mm 1.2. Both amazingly arrived in a couple days for me as well, in what seemed normal Fuji packaging. Quality was perfect, and the price was amazing. Something of note... E-Infinity, like some other known overseas grey market sellers, sells both on their own website, and on eBay as well. It seems that they generally charge a slight premium to buy on eBay versus their own site... which likely is to account for the eBay seller fees they incur. Additionally, you will be charged sales tax on eBay, and not through their site. I do not say this to encourage tax avoidance... its of note if you happen to live in an area that does not have a sales tax, or if you qualify for tax-exempt purchase and don't want the hassle of submitting documentation to avoid it. But there are some advantages to using eBay that may justify doing so. First, eBay acts as the middleman... and if there is a problem that the seller is dragging their feet on addressing, you can seek recourse through eBay. And it seems they tend to usually favor taking the side of the buyer. Second, most legitimate sellers are going to care about their feedback rating/reviews. Bad reviews can cost them sales, and if I'm not mistaken can affect they volume of listings they are allowed to put/sell.
