There is a piece of advice which is commonly given out in these threads-
“go into a camera shop, find out what feels right, then buy it where its cheapest”
I did this in the last few days when looking for a lens. Got the lens, hood and filter inc P&P from the UK for way less than the price of the lens alone here.
I agree about the comfort insurance factor of buying locally but damned if I am going to pay over the odds………Mikka
jb7 .. it is a lot of gear for a nice price but if you check the wording on e bay lets say it may say gift wrapped to go through customs easily or it might say sample not for resale or words to that effect then you have a chance!! but if i had to pay i wouldn’t mind still a saving!
