Canon raises prices RF lenses included

[Nick L]

Hi Roger, the US price of the RF 100-500L with the highest state tax -Louisiana is £700 less than the UK price and looking at Canon Rumours the UK price of the new R3 is the highest price of anywhere in the world.

Also given you cannot get an RF 100-500L in the UK at present I gave up and bought one from Panamoz, it arrived in 6 days and was £200 cheaper.

I have found the only way was grey imports if I actually wanted a particular lens ! I am not quite sure what Canon are playing at with their supply as their recognised UK dealers .... Wex, Park, Jessops ... and others, are well out of stock and have long waiting lists.

HDEW and UK camera club are UK based with proper offices here but import. They seem to get what the main dealers can't - and supply it cheaper. Not Panamoz cheap but they do have an office here where I believe Panamoz, though great reviews, does not.
