I am wishing to purchase a MP-E 65 Macro lens, but where can I get a good deal without taking undue risks? Warehouse Express price is £809, del £5. Onestop Digital in Hong Kond have a very good price of £676, Post free and VAT free. http://www.onestop-digital.com/catalog/product_info.php?language=en¤cy=GBP&products_id=393 How can they supply VAT free?
The other source I like is an eBay site for £700 + £10 post. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=390106433374&ih=026&category=30070&ssPageName=WDVW&rd=1 The feedback is excellent and looks genuine, although I know that may not be all it seems.
It looks like this is the web retail arm of Arbroath Camera Accessories (Scotland) They give a phone number and post code of the business, and a link showing it on Multimap.
It is therefore £34 dearer than the dubious "VAT free" site in Hong Kong, but £104 cheaper than Warehouse Express. It seems too good to be true, but at the same time genuine. Has any body used this site? All comments appreciated.

I live in Scotland and I have recently bought an MPE 65 I have used it a few times on here but the Macro moderator knows I have had back problems and I think I will have to let it go. Let me know what you think.
I've bought 5 items from him - 3 lenses (one of which was also an mpe) and a couple of batteries all with zero problems and with good comms and speedy turnaround - slight delay if you use the freebie bacs system as that still takes a few days for funds to clear (don't ask me why
I didn't buy anything via the ebay site, however, but direct ... and got a further slight discount (depending on payment method used) - he mentions this on the eb page.
I'd personally have no hesitation in buying from him again if the situation / price was right.
No, I have no connection with him whatsoever, other than being a (satisfied) customer.
Although it looks like you may possibly get 'sorted' via c400d, if you don't, google IK as I previously suggested ...and take it from there
