I can see why your friends make the trip.


It's different almost from country to country. At least the normal prices are. A few weeks ago I looked at prices in the US (I live in the Netherlands, Europe. Which is pretty much next to the England so you would assume the prices are about the same) and while some lenses are more expensive here, some are also cheaper... Different places, different markets.


But still...1599 pounds is equal to 1913 euros which I can almost buy a 70-200 f2.8L IS II for...sigh... there must have been something wrong. If not I'm saving up for the 70-200 f4L IS with 1.4 extender [A]


I can see the trip as well [ap]
