Just wondered if anyone had any experiences from this website?

I wanted to buy a Canon 55 - 250mm IS lens and this place seems to be pretty cheap. Too good to be true?:suspect:

Am grateful for all opinions (:

Thanks!
 
I'm also looking for a good deal on the same lens and having had a quick google it would appear it's a mixed bag. Despite having a UK trading address this link here http://www.reviewcentre.com/reviews4051.html suggests that its US based so that might be why it's so cheap??

If you do find out if it's legit I'll be in the queue behind you ;)
 
I've used them at least twice and given their details to a couple of friends who have used them too. They used to give a free upgrade to two years warranty (don't know if they still do).

I bought my Canon IXUS 500 plus a CP300 printer (2003) and a Nikon D60 for my daughter's 18th about 18 months ago. Friends have bought other IXUSs and a few smaller items. I think their actual office is somewhere like Standish but they do not keep the stock there so you cannot collect. They are part of Wilkinson's cameras
 
If it's part of Wilkinsons then it'll be pretty sound. I can't speak for the website but certainly the shops are quite genuine. Perhaps not the cheapest but pefectly legitimate.
 
I recently bought my girlfriend a Panny FZ28 from them, and they were fine.
I would use them again.
 
It is the mail order arm of Wildings, a reputable dealer with branches over the north west .

I was one of their suppliers for many years and they were a pleasure to deal with, a very reputable company the owners are smashing lads.
 
You can get one even cheaper (£138) if you're ok with an OEM model from Hong Kong... personally I don't have an issue with that, most my lenses come from HK.

Have you checked out OneStop Digital? I (and many others) have bought from them.
