Why buying from abroad is not always better

[evilenglishman]

I've just noticed this on ebay.
I know a lot of people in The UK buy more expensive lenses from "digitalRev" who ship from Hong kong.

I've just been looking at their prices and noted this:

EF 70-200mm L IS Lens £1089.99

This can be bought in The UK for £999.95 inc VAT

So if you are thinking of buying this lens, grab it in The UK :wink:
