    Hello,

    I just arrived in Ireland and I am wondering where I can get best price for lenses online. Usually, I use Amazon.com (best prices and great used lenses) but price are most expensive with amazon.co.uk.

    Where should I go?

    Thank you.
    Julien

    What make of camera do you have?
    I'm Pentax and there's 2 particular sites (1 UK, 1 US) that have most activity in trading. I'm sure there's similar for other brands.

    I've also found One Stop Digital a good price. I had to pay tax but get it refunded in 1 day!

    ive had bad experience with simply electronics. Advise against them. OneStop digital are the cheapest prices that I can find. really good to deal with too.

    They seem to be more expensive than Amazon and closer to Irish retail prices on the few lenses I looked at.

    I've had a good experience with SimplyElectronics and highly recommend them, actually (though I used their eBay store to stay on the safe side of things).

    Ive had 3 good experiences with them too. Bought direct from their website using payapl, although i believe Amazon UK is very close to their prices nowadays.
