Yeah, they look cheap, then you look and it's £40 postage or something.

I wouldn't mind going over there and getting it personally but i don't trust UK Customs or foreign companies with £400+

I have been looking at some sunvisor screens, they are half the price of the uk ones even after you aff the £40 delivery, but i'm just woried that i'll have to pay 40% to get thru customs or something.
How do you get them marked as gifts icy?

LOLI had a look at stuff. cheaper to buy at 7day or import from the US and pay taxs for canon stuff.

Sigma is cheaper. 7day shop sell my lens for £529 HK can be bought for £400 so add £40 for postage and £40 for the usuall tax claim you save over £50.

I'd not buy a camera body from anywhere else though because they don;t have the iternational warrenties that the lenses do.
