I'm more concerned with the price of existing lenses (and most other Canon accessories).


Over the last few weeks my Amazon (UK) basket has taken a pounding. The 70-200 f/4 IS has gone from £750 to over £1000, the 24-105 has gone from £750ish to £870, a genuine battery for my 40D has gone from £35 to £60 and the 580EX II has gone from £300 to £400.


Has anyone else noticed this or am I just really unlucky?
