I am wishing to purchase a MP-E 65 Macro lens, but where can I get a good deal without taking undue risks? Warehouse Express price is £809, del £5. Onestop Digital in Hong Kond have a very good price of £676, Post free and VAT free. http://www.onestop-digital.com/catalog/product_info.php?language=en&currency=GBP&products_id=393 How can they supply VAT free?

The other source I like is an eBay site for £700 + £10 post. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI....74&ih=026&category=30070&ssPageName=WDVW&rd=1 The feedback is excellent and looks genuine, although I know that may not be all it seems.

It looks like this is the web retail arm of Arbroath Camera Accessories (Scotland) They give a phone number and post code of the business, and a link showing it on Multimap.

It is therefore £34 dearer than the dubious "VAT free" site in Hong Kong, but £104 cheaper than Warehouse Express. It seems too good to be true, but at the same time genuine. Has any body used this site? All comments appreciated.
 
you wont have any problems from Kerso, he sells on here as well so PM him and he does prices away from ebay so may beat the price you have
 
onestop is perfectly legit, there is several threads on here about them and i have had no problems personally with them either.

if your looking for uk warranty pretty sure kerso on here has them for the £700 mark.
 
PM Kerso a member on here and ask him for an off-ebay price.

are their any other lighting units that work well with this lens?

The MR-14 is also very good with the MP-e65, in fact when you get to the really large magnifications I find that the MT-24 can interfere with your subject as they stick out further than the focus point.
 
Thanks to everyone for their comments. I have ordered an MP-E 65 from Kerso.

However, I may be putting further posts on here when I struggle using it!!
