400mm f/5.6 L: UK Suppliers?

I have been looking at the 400mm f/5.6 L on eBay, but there are currently no UK suppliers shown, only Hong Kong.

There is absolutely no way I'm ever going to buy something that expensive on eBay from Hong Kong, so I'm wondering if anyone knows of any good value suppliers in the UK.

I had a look around on Google, but couldn't find anything near the eBay prices. I'm sure I read on here somewhere that someone got a brand new one in the UK for £660.

Any suggestions or recommendations?

Hi
Try "kerso" on e-bay if he hasn't got one he may be able to get one for you

Hello John

Ahh yes, Kerso! I forgot about him. I'll send him a PM and see.

688.99 if your still struggling, from HK but includes P&P and you can claim the vat back if you do get stung.

Thanks Fubar. It looks as if all is okay now.

I sent Kerso a PM and he replied with a good price, so I will be going to him when I get my lens. If anyone else reads this and needs a lens I would check with Kerso as well before you buy elsewhere.

What was Kerso's price incidentally? PM if you don't want to broadcast.

I'll PM you in a moment Anke. The only reason I don't want to put the price here is in case Kerso can't always do the same price and I don't want people trying to hold him to it on the basis of anything I have said!

That's what I thought, thanks Mike.
