Does someone from germany knows if this reseller is serious ?

They have the 70-200 4L at 659 euros which is the cheaper price I found in europe.

Yacine.

Why are lenses so more expensive in europe than in the US :cry: :cry: ($550)...

Hi,

I do not know wether this company is serious or not. But I can tell you a serious one in Munich (germany).

There the lens you are looking is 679.-€. This is not so bad. And this dealer is ok.

Hi Yacine,

I also do not know the shop, but I would certainly prefer to buy the lens from a German mail-order house than from some eBay auction.

You are pretty much protected when ordering online in Germany, actually, you have more rights because of the long distance sales law than when you buy the item in the shop. E.g., you can send the item back if you have changed your mind within a certain period of time.

The shop you mentioned also has a certification from some organization called Euro-Label. ( http://www.euro-label.com/euro-label/ControllerServlet?lg=de&to=welcome&tc=tradersList& z2Page=home&&z3Page=blank ) I don't know that, but assume that it's legitimate.

Be aware that both dealers (the one you found and the one Dieter mentioned) do not have it in stock, according to their web sites.

Best regards,
Andy

Thanks a lot Dieter, Andy.

I wonder why Lenses are more expensive here in France than in Germany... though we are both in the european union :?: :?: :?:

best price in Spain:
Fotoboom 670€
The problem in Spain is that the prices are changing every week and the L lenses usually are out of stock. So check if they are in stock before purchaising !!
