I have used B+H which is based in New York. I ordered a new camera body from them on a Friday night and it arrived at my door in North Queensland on Tuesday morning! And their price was the best I could find for that body.
My Catalogue here says there is a 100mm f/2.8 Macro for Canon for US$519.00 there's a 50mm f/2.5 Macro for US$265.00 and a Monster 180mm f/3.5 Macro for US$1370.00
I wish I had knows that B&H shipped to Australia! I would have got my 7D for the same price as in Australia including shipping and a lens...I only got a body :(
Just had a quick compare between B&H and the site I posted eariler. B&H looks more expensive.
@triptych_angel - Difference would've been the lack of a warranty on the body I think it would've been "grey" stock. Lens are fine though as they are covered internationally. Well Canon ones ar at least.
@dcr - Olympus bodies and lenses are covered internationally too...
I looked at your site and yeah yours has some good prices, but not as big a range... but again, I was only checking Oly gear.
@triptych_angel - and yeah Emma, I got my body plus a battery grip for less than I would have here in Australia for the body alone, and that included postage and customs excise. If your lens is under AUD$1,000.00 then you do not have to pay duty.
@dcr - yeah when it comes to Oly warranty or repair issues, I contact Oly Australia direct in Sydney... never worry about going back to the store, just go direct to the manufacturer. Always had great advice and service from them.

Sorry Harvey Norman...
Also I think a lot of online places put that the item is under $1000 so that you avoid the customs fees. (@triptych_angel)
