I was looking to get a 50mm af 1.8 lens for my nikon d7000 camera.

after a bit of googling i found this website :

http://www.online-technology-store.com/index.php?route=information/contact

not heard of them before but the lens is £59.99 inc p&p (as opposed to £99 elsewhere) - but something is saying "sounds too good to be true".

they have a london tel no and address.

anyone bought anything off them before?

thanks
melanie
 
They have a 5D MkII advertised at £982.99 (about 450 cheaper than anyone else) and a 5D MkII with 24-105 f4 L at £2109 which means they are charging £1126 for the lens which normally sells between £700-850.
The price for the 5D MkII plus 24-105 is about on a par with other retailers though as I got mine last week at www.hdewcameras.co.uk at £2125 + p&p. Because of the price differences and if you google map the address it seems a bit out of place for a technology retailer.

Which happens to be the address of a branch of Barclays used by, whoda-guessed-it, yorkshirecameras.com

The branch of Barclays is real enough, so it seems he's running his business from one of their counters.

I doubt anything else is true, though.
