    Nobody mentioned you John. Do you have a guilty conscience about something?

    It's ok, you're amongst friends, you can share your feelings.
    In life you only get one lap, might as well make it a good one.

    I think 'special' might be more fitting.

    It would be worth it if you're worried about Australian warranty, but with a lens I think you'd be pretty safe as long as you didn't go with some obscure brand from Outer Mongolia.

    monsta - forget duty free on camera gear, the prices are horrible.

    What I did with over $3k worth of gear was use the Tourist Refund Scheme
    Advice for travellers

    There are a few conditions, but pretty much you can shop wherever you like (including online within Australia before you go), and get your GST refunded at the departure gate.
    In life you only get one lap, might as well make it a good one.

    You can get a 55-300mm VR lens for around 400.

    or a 70-300mm for around 600.

    or a 300mm prime for about 1200.

    You can always look at buying second hand lenses. Camera Electronics in Northbridge have a cabinet full of used gear in excellent condition.
    I have purchased several lenses from that cabinet and they always have something interesting or hard to find, well worth a look.
