Linked through from shopping on google, I thought google checked out the shops in their comparison site but this one looks fishy as a fishy thing to me.

nearly 25% cheaper than anywhere listed on camera price buster does seem suspicious

The clue is at the bottom of the "About us" page:

Location:

2615 S. Santa Fe Avenue

Vernon, CA 90058

Factor in 15% VAT and 6.9% import duty on lenses, and suddenly they aren't so cheap.

How are you getting on with it? do you find the lack of filter options frustrating?

its challenging to use - but in a good way (if that makes any sense at all). Its a lens I really enjoy using (against the sigma 12-24 which I had before), mostly because its making me think about my shots in a different way to that which I'm used to

I'm not really bothered by the lack of filter options - but I only really ever use a CPL for anythign else anyway so don't miss that on the wide angle.
