Hi
Has anyone got some good overseas retailers that they can recommend for buying a Digital SLR Camera lens?  I am after a Cannon EF 70-100mm IS lens.
Cheers
Richard

Gotta say, i've bought a few of Trademe in the last few years and have been happy with all of the lenses. Otherwise i buy from www.photo.co.nz as it used to be my local and i knew the guys well enough for them to earn my hard earned cash.

I have bought lenses from B&H (www.bhphotovideo.com).
There's also Adorama.com. Both in New York.
There's a few Aussie stores that will ship here too, I know not their names though.

Japan.... If you're heading anywhere near. Basically take the NZ retail price and halve it. At least.

Otherwise I've bought lenses from Wellington Photographic Supplies (wps.net.nz), and Photowarehouse, both places have great service.
