Is it just me or does there seem to be NO L lenses in the main stores in the UK. Admitedly I'm looking for a 35 f/1.4 but NONE of the stores have them that I can see.

Warehouse Express has it marked as low stock. I ring them pretty much twice a week and they say "oh, its out of stock, we will mark it as thus straight away" - but they never do.

Anybody any idea where I can get a UK warrenty 35 1.4 from in the UK?

Thanks

Kevin

Have you tried park camera's? they have pretty good stock all things being equal.

But yes, generally I agree Canon stocks are really low here at the moment for the higher end primes particularly.

I'll try them - have just rented the lens for a month so I'll wait until then but Park Cameras seem like the next stop. Many Thanks.

Have you tried Ian Kerr (Kerso on here)?

Good prices, great service and UK warranty. I picked up my 500 f4 tonight

I have read many great things about Kerso and his prices seem quite amazing actually. I've yet to try buying through as I'm looking at 3rd party lenses at the moment.
