Photo Forum / Digital Photography / DSLR Cameras / April 2006CAnon 24-105 Delivery Times
I've been waiting for 5 weeks to get a Canon 24-105 L lens from www.warehouseexpress.com in the UK. Can anyone advise what the lead times in the UK are like for this particular lens? Or, can anyone advise if this lens is available from any UK retailer - except Jessup's who are £200 more than www.warehouseexpress.com? > I've been waiting for 5 weeks to get a Canon 24-105 L lens from > www.warehouseexpress.com in the UK.

Jessops will price match warehouseexpress. I recently bought a 100-400 L lens from Jessops after they dropped their price £150 to match. >> I've been waiting for 5 weeks to get a Canon 24-105 L lens from >> www.warehouseexpress.com in the UK.

But they are out of stock 2-4 weeks. >Interesting - I would never had guessed Jessops would be so nice. >But they are out of stock 2-4 weeks. Jessops sometimes sell items at prices that are higher than the manufacturer's RRP - they are selling one digital camera at £699 when the RRP is £599. It is available from several UK sources at prices in the £549 - £569 range Jessops will price match with authorised dealers who have the item in stock, but they obviously hope that most of their customers will pay their silly high prices without checking elsewhere. And that's what happens - most people just pay Jessops price. As for their "2-4 weeks", I am still waiting for an item I ordered in early February. They told me 2-4 weeks then, and yesterday they told me 2-4 weeks again. Yeah, right. Jessops is the new Dixons. >I've been waiting for 5 weeks to get a Canon 24-105 L lens from >www.warehouseexpress.com in the UK.

Try these Canon authorised dealers, who are both good at getting hold of scarce items: David Leung, Ilford, Essex: davidshleung@msn.com Tel: 020 8590 3268 Fixation, London SW8 Sales@FixationUK.com Tel: 020 7582 3294 You might also want to try Calumet, who have 11 UK locations plus a central warehouse. They also have a large rental stock: Tel: 08706 03 03 03 >>I've been waiting for 5 weeks to get a Canon 24-105 L lens from >>www.warehouseexpress.com in the UK.

Seems that warehouseexpress are offering the lens at a very keen price. Looking at eBay, the few 24-105 L that are listed are more expensive. Best of luck with your quest ! > >>>I've been waiting for 5 weeks to get a Canon 24-105 L lens from > >>>www.warehouseexpress.com in the UK.

I've found that they have the new stuff plus a lot of obsolete goodies. I have tried a Canon dealer in Ilford but found he was good at promising things but didn't actually deliver them. Oh - my girlfriend tried to get a Canon 100mm macro from Jessops. Two delivery dates came and went so we went to our local branch of LCE. They offered a 10 day delivery. Hah! The lens arrived about 8 days later - and the price was very competitive. Regards, Ian. >> >>>I've been waiting for 5 weeks to get a Canon 24-105 L lens from >> >>>www.warehouseexpress.com in the UK.

By the way, I've just looked and B&H (New York) lists the 24-105L f/4 IS as being in stock. ---- Paul J. Gans >Calumets website indicates they are out of stock - I'll try the other guys >but maybe I'm onto a lost cause? Maybe not! Have you called Canon UK? They might be able to give you some idea of when stocks will be available: Tel: 01737 220000 As well as the two dealers I suggested in my previous post, you might also like to contact Park Cameras: http://www.parkcameras.com/ Tel: 08450 502266 I use this lens; it is optically superb and the handling is excellent. Don't settle for less - it is definitely worth waiting for! >> Calumets website indicates they are out of stock - I'll try the other guys >> but maybe I'm onto a lost cause?

I noticed on one web site that it would be the end of May before they get stock back in. |
