The website looks a bit cr@p but prices are good, should i expect grey imports?

I've never used them, but I would also debate the notion that they are cheap.

I guess it depends what you're looking to buy, but my last 2 purchases from Jessops were a Canon 100mm f/2.8 Macro and a Sigma 10-20mm UWA (Canon fit), which cost me £658 in total.

If I'd bought the same two lenses off that place, they would've charged me a massive £892.80 including shipping! yikes

You don't say what you're looking for, so they may well be cheap for that, but I'd certainly recommend you have a look at camerapricebuster.co.uk before you buy. It never occurred to me that Jessops would come close to being the cheapest for what I wanted before looking on there and factoring in the discount promotion, which I'd not seen anywhere else, either.

In case you're wondering, I have no affiliation to that site or anything. I'm just very chuffed with them saving me a bundle recently. smile

Another vote for Jessops here. They were the cheapest when I bought my Sigma 12-24 recently. With the exchange rates as they are the Hong Kong boys and other overseas sites are looking expensive !!!
