    i purchased the nikon 70-200mm 2.8 vr from b&h photo, they send in a box marked b&h photo all over it, it was quick from ny in only two days, but when it arrived i was stung for 326€ tax and duty, could of bought cheaper from pixmania!!!!!!!!!!!
    just be aware!!

    Eh, are you certain you’ve got your figures right?

    Nikon AF-S VR Zoom-Nikkor 70-200mm f/2.8G IF-ED Lens, Pixmania price €2224.00

    BH Photovideo price $1624.95
    Add import duty at 6.7% then VAT at 21% and your grand total is $2097.92, which at
    today’s exchange rate works out at €1313.36, excluding shipping. So unless you intend
    paying €800 or more for shipping, BH is always going to work out better value than
    its European competitors at the moment…
