Hi. So I have a trip booked up to Iceland with the oh/bh for a few days after new year. I have been seriously considering investing in a wide angle lens. Having moved through the options such as 16-35mm, 17-40mm, tilt lenses etc I have settled on a Zeiss 21mm (shooting with a 5dii). So, looking online I see a pretty good price at just under £1200. It is an import from France. I'm assuming that means it'll be a grey import. Is that correct and is that a bad thing? I could shell out the extra £300ish and get from an apparent uk retailer but is it worth doing so? One thing I'm thinking is as the lens doesn't have auto focus or image stabilisation there are no motors to go wrong therefore maybe gets me leaning more in favour of going grey. Hmm, any thoughts and any recommendations on good retailers to consider for said purchase?
