Any comments you'd like to make? I shall be there in a month or so and was thinking of getting a 70-200L, as they are much cheaper there. Maybe one of you has had the experience of shopping there while on holiday or business - if so, I'd love to hear about it.

Yes, that's the problem, getting stung by HM Customs! Still no replies from people who have actually experienced this though! Attach the lense to your camera, post the box and receipt before you leave NY, then no problems is you get stopped on your way back 400 D

I think it's different if you're buying on-line (ie out of state), that's why I mentioned that I would be buying actually in the store.
