I'm ordering the 70-200L f4, but i'd just like to hear where you think i should order it?

Warehouse Express price - £487
T4 Cameras price - £477

Anyone have any past experiences with T4?

I've not used T4 on line but nearly all my current EOS stuff came from their Swindon branch. Good prices and very good service.

The other branches are a bit more provincial and deal mostly with cheaper P&S stuff.

I take it that they stock UK stock? Not imports.

My 1D II is from UK stock but I don't know if they do any grey import stuff aswell. They are main canon dealers as far as walk in retail goes so I would have thought they buy mostly from Canon UK.

If they are main Canon dealers I would doubt they do grey imports.
Plus £10 less than Warehouse doesn't suggest a grey import.
The T4 website has a contact page so you could ask.

If you wan't to consider imports try this;

£80 less and they gaurentee to pay the VAT/import duties.

I can get VAT off this purchase though, which ends up just as cheap and it's a UK item with a UK warrenty ;)

All Canon lenses come with an international guarantee anyway m8, it doesn't matter where you buy it, if it needs repair under guarantee you just send it back to Canon.

You will not be dissapointed with that lens, it also works extreamly well with a 1.4TC making it f5.6, maintaining AF and giving a nice working range.

Don't forget to post so pictures :)
