As per thread title. I understand that buying from america say a body the warranty is void due to the way its imported, however a lens still comes with the 1 year international one ~ correct me if im wrong?
Now heres the biggie, if you have a company who is willing to import the lens from america, and the rate is good. When it lands in the UK im obviously liable to import tax/duty.
So would this be just the 15% of the cost of the lens itself, is there an aditional fee ontop of this, as the sites ive read have been confiusingly crap with info.
Has anyone been down this route on expensive glass, as obviously something like a big prime lens could work out substancially cheaper imported from the USA if the exchange rate is favourable.
