Those are the non image stabilised lenses hence the cheaper price.

If you get stung for VAT and import duty it won't look so cheap...

They are only £769 all in from 7dayshop.com, so to be honest, after you've added the £43 shipping and insurance you are only saving £65 with a potential tax liability of over £150.

Is it worth it???? I didn't think so, so bought the IS version from 7dayshop.com.

Oh - sorry - I thought you meant you had listed that lens on ebay - not bought it (isn't the word "got" lovely!)

Yes, the difference between 'got' and 'have got' are entirely opposite!
