Getting a bit frustrated with Canon's rollout of the 200-800mm

[Chris Summers]

Well, over in the What Have You Bought thread I announced I put the lens on hold for now and got an R6 MKII for $1839 which includes tax and overnight shipping. So be it.

Panamoz had them in stock when I looked yesterday. I only ordered my 200-800 3,weeks ago and it arrived within the 10-14 days promised. Excellent company to deal with, highly recommended. You can’t pre order, keep watching and when in stock hit the buy button!

Got mine from Panamoz as well

Got mine from Panamoz as well

The stock issue is a US one, as I asked for help in tracking one down in December and heard from others that they could be found in Oz or the EU. The Panamoz price tacks a $400US premium on the lens as well as potential shipping charges, so it's all about how much you need one.

As for the Abe's comments, FFS the guy said he couldn't find one. If he wanted a reliable seller I'd have offered up mine. At a premium, of course.

Incredible the difference in price in the US, no wonder you can't find one! Mind you it's not easy here either. The base price without tax in the US is $1899 add shipping and taxes and it's $2358.95. Panamoz price including shipping and taxes paid is £2180 which is $2721. Just to demonstrate the maths Jake.
You guys get it so easy over there !!!!!

I had never heard of Panamoz before. It looks like they also ship from within the EU, so I will have to check them out. Thanks for mentioning them as a source.

They are in back stock with B&H with free 2 day shipping unless I'm missing something?
