This discussion (the recent sale of a 90 f2 macro on ebay) prompted me to
compare new prices in the USA and UK. I chose to compare B&H and Jessop, the
biggest chain in the UK. I converted the B&H prices to UK pounds (at 1.5 USD
per Pound) and then ran up a graph of new lens prices. Despite the strong
Pound, I knew it wouldn't look good...
But it's shocking - UK prices are between 150 and 2500f those at B&H. If
you can stomach it I have uploaded a graph and the data here:
