Buying ‘stuff’ on holidays

Ok,

So I am just back from holidays (Good for me :D )…
I went to Lanzorote, in the town of Playa Blanca, there seemed to be a camera shop on every street corner. The prices seemed very reasonable.
For example, a Sigma lense which I priced in Ireland at €399 (priced it on line for £175 plus P&P) was offered to me for €220.

My question, are the tax free Canaries a good place to buy? Does anyone have any experience of buying from there?

I did buy a circular polarizer filter – the guy said he would do me a deal, €105. I said no, I was on the way out, he called me back and said €40. I took it, I have had a look on line I can’t find it, so don’t know if it’s good price.
It’s a Yashica, which is a brand I have never come accross.
