Yes
So, I was looking at getting a 35mm for my D70 (due to be upgraded to a D7000 soon though). Nikon currently have a £20 cashback offer on for another week, so i was looking to pull the trigger now!

I had originally earmarked Jessops to buy it, at around £140, but now they're gone i'm not sure where to get it! I've contacted Ian at flashcamera.co.uk but I haven't heard back in over a day. Shame, cause he's selling it for £130. Anyone got any suggestions?
 
I got my 35mm from Jessops, I was going to get it from John Lewis as they price match, just that John Lewis did not have one in stock when I was buying mine. John Lewis are doing them for £164.99 with £20 cashback.
 
Finally got through to Ian at flashcamera, where he's selling the lens for £129 + del, but offered it for £139 paid cash, collected. I don't know if he's made a mistake or if he's genuinely selling it for cheaper with a card payment online + RM Special Delivery. Kinda confusing to say the least!
 
Finally got it sorted with Ian, about a million emails sent and received (he's a bit... short, isn't he?) but I got it for £135 delivered. £20 cashback and it's all good!

Oh and I got a letter from Inland Revenue with a cheque for £90. Yass!

No I thought he was about 5' 10"?

I was just looking at the price history for that lens, there was a dip in November and it has crept up since. Have you seen Cameraferret.com? They do an email alert, so if you're not desperate to buy and just want the best price, once the price is reached they will email you so you can catch it. I've used it and it worked (unfortunately I was away for a week when the email came and the price went back up but that's just my luck)

I should have read the thread properly - I see you have bought one now...

As this is an American import, does anyone know if you can get cashback on it?
