I'm looking for a camera shop that stocks brand new Nikon and Tamron dslr lenses in Nairobi. Any idea where I can find one of these shops? Will be much appreciated, thanks.

Not sure if there's any that does but try these:

- shop near The Sarova Stanley
- Jamia Shopping Mall 1st Floor
- A shop on Kenyatta Ave (actually one on each side of the road)

The pricing however ...

Not a good idea.

I saw a Canon lens in Yaya for 31,000. Same lens sells online for like $120.

Thanks Tuvok and KR: the shop at the Stanley had the item in store but at an exhorbitant price. The one at Jamia didn't have what I was looking for. I'll try the one in Yaya this weekend.
@ Kularaha, the prices online may be somewhat deceptive in the sense that when you order the lens and have it shipped to Kenya, Customs guys will demand that you pay duty on it. This is likely to result in the overall cost being upto four times as much as what you paid online.
Anyway, c

Customs will take 25% of the declared value. Its still cheaper than buying locally.

When I buy lenses I have them shipped to a friend either in the US or UK. He then sends them down with someone travelling. Its longer, but way cheaper.
