You could try One Stop Digital in HK as they have it at £953.99 ex vat, which you can reclaim if Customs charge it.

If you're really keen on saving money, do you have to have the Canon variant?

If not, the Sigma version is the dogs wotsits and costs considerably less.

i have thought about the Sigma ( i have the 24-70 2.8 sigma) however about a month ago I was bought a canon 10-22 and Im finiding that even in low light its sharper than the Sigma. Also the Canon has IS as far as im aware there is not a Sigma version with IS.... Or am I being dumb???

thanks for all the help

Hey,

 

I'm in the same boat. I've been wanting a Canon 70-200mm f2.8 IS USM for some time now but recently saw the Sigma 70-200 f2.8 after borrowing Ben Birchalls lens (see Junes issue). I found it brilliant and when you consider its half the price of the Canon IS version I wonder if its really worth paying that much for. I bought the Sigma 10-20mm and have been very impressed - again several hundred pounds cheaper than the Canon version. The other bonus about the Sigma lens is that its black and matches the camera body - I really don't like the white Canon lenses - my personal opinion but I think they contrast too much with the camera bodies. I'm sure I've just stirred up the hornets nest now ...

I remember seeing the seller mentioned here before and i believe that if you email him directly you might get a better price - I'm sure someone will let me know whether I've made that up or not! - Hope that helps

That is correct he does sometimes do cheaper if you deal direct....

All items are bought from the states however the service is excellent and hedid me a great deal on a 10-22.....However on this occasion i wanted to be 100% on havig a uk item on such an expensive purchase.

So my new baby turned up this morning in perfect condition and works like a dream!!

Cant recommend bentonvillemall.co.uk - ordered Thursday last week arrivedby DHL today - YAY

Im off to shoot Willie Nelson tonight and  think Im going to have fun:)

Please don't shoot Willie Nelson  he's a great performer who has bought joy to millions over the years, even if you don't like his music I'm not sure he deserves to be shot

 

Enjoy your new toy and don't forget to post the results here so we can see what it's like......
