It’s not a great time to buy camera equipment right now. Places where you could get good deals are sticking up their prices due to the awful exchange rate.

I get most of my stuff from here:

All prices have gone up 10-20% (around £200 in most cases).

Thats the trouble making a business out of buying and selling goods. It all goes **** up when the exchange rate drops.

I’d think around £600-800 for a 35-350mm lens. You can get a brand new 100-400mm for £1k.
