Hi John

I’m just going by what Canon told me. I rang their UK support line, spoke to one of their operatives and asked what would happen if I bought an imported (in this instance one that originated from America) 100 – 400mm L series lense and it developed a fault. His reply was that I’d need to send it to Canon US to be fixed. Sounds a bit crazy, I must admit, but perhaps it’s just another element of rip-off Britain, lol. Mind you, English wasn’t his first language and he did sound like he was trying to find an answer using a pre-defined ‘script’.
I really want this lense but it’s a big investment and just don’t want to get my fingers burnt. Do we know if this chap off Ebay sells imported stuff? His prices seem very good!

Thanks

Bob

Have to disagree with you guys on this one….I bought a 20D and 100-400L from http://www.digitalrev.com The camera and lens came from Hong Kong, I saved over £600 at the time compared to UK prices. Both developed very minor problems and required warranty work. Canon UK were very vague as to warranty conditions, I took both to my local Canon Approved Authorised Repairer in Glasgow. Put both items in the box and produced my receipt from the shop in Hong Kong. The shop was more than happy to carry out the repairs and said they have done it many times in the past and always get repaid from Canon UK Warranty.

Scotty, have a look at the site, sometimes you will save a fortune compared to UK prices, although they don’t look the cheapest at present 🙁

Thanks for the kind comments guys, much appreciated!

Alex answered Peter’s question about the lcoation nicely.

I’m afraid there is abolustely no public transport in sight. This spot isn’t even near a village or town at all, the closest you’ll get is the long stay car park and then it is still a good 3 mile walk along a 60mph (with most cars doing 80mph) narrow country road!

Hi mate, great photos!
I take it the place you took the shots from is only good in the evening?
…and is there somewhere to park a car?

Thanks!

Top stuff as usual Sam 🙂

Peter, was the last A/C operating for Pakistan?
