The the UK this lens can be picked up for £1370 or slightly cheaper, whereas the published prices is over £1600. Not sure which part of the world you are from though.

In the US no doubt this lens will probably be £:$ equiv (strange but true) and perhaps in Hong Kong you could pick it up even cheaper.

We always seem to pay so much more in the UK.

Dell has a 15% off+free shipping+$75 off purchases over $550 deal on right now.
Price comes out to $1590.
But, they charge sales tax in some states. They charge it in my state (NJ), so the price for me would be $1685. B&H also has it for $1700. If I were buying this one, I'd go with B&H.
If you have a friend/relative in a state where Dell doesn't charge tax, you can have it shipped there and save the tax. But keep in mind the cost of shipping it from there to you, might not be worth the hassle.
The Dell coupon number is JL6MK$330H9ZT4 if you're interested.

I ordered the 10-22 this morning from Dell using this deal. Even with tax, I saved $160.

I bought the 10-22 also as it was most definately the best price on that lense. I hadn't had time to shop prices on the 70-200 though so I thought I would ask. I appreciate all of your input. Thanks again ;)

Regards,

Al
