I need EFs 10-18mm but not available here...yet - toni-a - 06-07-2014 I am looking forward to get Canon efs 10-18 however Canon Lebanon don't have it yet, they say they will have it "soon" local prices here are rather high: I should expect something like +450$ My other option is to import it however, where I live this should be problematic since it has to pass by the customs etc... which means one to two weeks waiting at least 100$ for shipping plus customs and worst of all: no warranty, if I have a bad sample shipping for repairs costs almost the same as the lens. Should I take the risk of missing the summer season or the risk of a lemon/broken lens knowing I have a very bad record with previous lenses, how is Canon quality controle those days ?

That being said it is an IS lens and you know what I think about this ... However, it is also a very slow lens so QC issues are largely hidden by this.
