Stefan, Conversion rate from the link on the New York Camera site. 1 US Dollar = 1.01885 Euro 1 Euro (EUR) = 0.98150 US Dollar (USD) Canon EF 600 f4 L IS NYC price: EUR 10498.90 B&H price: USD 7399.95 (USA) or USD 7099.95 (Grey market) Jessops (UK) price: GBP7999.90 Canon EF 500 f4 L IS NYC price: EUR 7968.90 B&H price: USD 5799.95 (USA) or USD 5549.95 (Grey market) Jessops (UK) price: GBP 5999.90 Canon 70-200 f2.8 L IS NYC price: EUR 2.676,90 B&H price: USD 1,719.95 (USA) or USD 1,679.95 (Grey market) Jessops (UK) price: GBP 1999.90!!! To be fair, this is an exceptional price, even for the UK, typical prices are around GBP 1600. In fact, in the last issue of Amateur Photographer there was a Jessops coupon which quoted a price of GBP 1549.90 for this lens. If importing into Europe, there will be Import Duty and VAT to add on. This may bring the prices closer together.
