I'm in the middle of persuading myself to buy a 500mm f4 v2 and am looking around at offers in the UK - support our shopkeepers and all that.
I'd rented the lens last weekend and was talking to the bloke about getting one and wondered what his best price would be. He said his sale price is actually less than trade plus VAT and therefore he makes a loss on each one! He makes his money on sundry items like straps and filters etc.
Therefore rather than cost a retailer money, I see no problem in ordering from, say, Digital Rev.
I haven't ordered it yet so, until then, discuss.
(Papers are marked out of 25. Marks deducted for sloppy writing or insisting we pay more in the UK than we do already.)
