Great camera, I ordered mine today. I ordered one last week from camerabox.co.uk but that was a nightmare. so I cancelled that otder and went to calumetphoto.co.uk.

My advice, but from a big and reputable online retailer. Buying from the UK is a great idea right now as sterling is very weak.

The same camera / kit comby from calumet is £989 right now or €1083.

EDIT: Oops - wrong camera/lens combination. The lens you are shopping for is the 18-200. sorry. Calumet link here - http://www.calumetphoto.co.uk/item/321-035P/
€1234

some people report bad experiences with pixmania, search the net for such threads first before you buy, then make an informed decision
I bought a EF 35mm 1.4 L lens from Calumet just before they were rising prices, lucky thing i wasn't in a hurry for it, i think it took like 5 weeks or something! great lens tho!!!

You'll probably get a good deal here if you were to talk to this guy!
