Best deal for Canon EF 70-300mm f/4.0-5.6 L IS USM

[Skyline]

Ok, it's a mine field out there and I need help please.

Amazon £1,149.99 - Jessops £1159.95 - Procamerashop £884.99 - Digitalrev
£899.99 - hdewcameras £889.00.

Obviously the last 3 are more appealing, but what happens if there was a problem. Would Canon sort it out?

Even more appealing price here £828 & £9.99 shipping

I'm very tempted buy one myself as i want extra reach over my 70-200mm F4L and the new IS system.

I have dealt with DigitalRev and had a Olympus E-PL1 which was 3 month old at the time develop a fault and i had too return it too them and they sent it too Olympus.. It must've took 5 week overall but it was all sorted no problems, Im guessing all imports would be return too seller if a fault develops.

When I spoke to Canon about this and a lens from HDEW, they said would sort any issues out from a lens bought from HDEW as they supply a UK invoice (can't comment on the other 2 sorry), have you tried Kerso on here, he has a good reputation and following and any issues with the lens, Canon do sort out...


It's a lens on my shopping list for the future ...

Tried calling panamoz 4 times today for more info. Straight through to an answer phone each time.
Not someone I want to deal with if you I can't talk to them.

email panamoz and you will get all your queries answered works out at under £800 delivered from them if you pay by BT it's your money
I was under the impression that lenses have an international warranty it's just cameras that don't

But if you want to talk to someone, which I do, it's not very good business not to answer phone calls.

Did you speak to Canon to confirm the warranty ?

Just got straight through hdewcameras.

Talked to them this morning. They tried a bit gibberish on me to start with, and then saying you are best to buy from a UK company.
I wanted a clear yes or no answer, if I bought a camera that was from Hong Kong, and there was a problem with it in 6 months time would Canon UK fix it.
The answer was, yes, they would fix the lens.

Very good, at least that helps with the warranty side, now you just need to decide where to buy from ...

I'd sooner down load the terms and conditions and have a good read that ask some sales person
hdew are a shop in the uk selling imports I believe and you can go down there in person and collect your purchase
go with who you feel more comfortable with
I am pretty sure lenses have an international warranty

I emailed them last night about 5% BACS pricing and i got a reply this morning asking for my details and they'd invoice me so i replied and got the invoice soon after so its all sorted now

I prefer too deal over internet than calls personally but each too there own

Panamoz don't answer their calls but are very efficient replying to emails. I would rather not speak to someone and save money
