Guys, I hear what you are saying but surely £777 for a EF16-35mm f2.8 LUSM lens is good value
www.ffordes.co.uk is £1049 and warehouseexpress.com is £949 for the same lens.
Canon lens warranty is not country specific like they are for the body.
My brother bought a 18-85mm IS lens and saved a large amount of money. Not from a Hong Kong source either.
