Luis,

Stay away!!!

Especially being on the other side of the ocean, you really want to be 
selective about who you do business with in the US. I would stick to the 
following vendors:

- Rich Pinto (photovillage.com) and Pat who advertises here on the LUG 
every week
- B&H Photo in New York
- KEH in Atlanta

There are a lot of dodgy shops in Brooklyn and elsewhere; what they do 
is not outright fraud but comes close.

Also, before buying overseas, always check prices at German or Dutch 
online shops--they are lower than in Spain, and you will not have to pay 
any customs duty or additional IVA when you receive the items.

Nathan
