Default Bargain UK price on Canon EF 100mm f2.8L Macro IS USM ?
Someone on another forum found this apparent bargain http://direct.tesco.com/q/R.208-4718.aspx Not sure if it's a price mistake ?

Price seems ok for the 100mm f2.8 Macro USM so looks like a typo in the name. Although, saying that, even the feature description says L series and four-stop IS.
Who dares to buy one?

No I don't particularly need one. Not really seen much photographic stuff in the Tesco superstores near me apart from P&S cameras.

Ordered two on Thursday, one for me one for a friend. Got a phone call yesterday lunchtime telling me that the price was wrong and I was getting a refund. Oh, well - worth a try.
