Jessops sale now on

Because photography equipment is so bloody expensive I'm always looking out for good deals on equipment .One thing i have noticed is even the second hand market equipment is highly priced .Especially if you are a Canon user suffering the L bug.L grade glass sells almost as much as new second hand,shaving a fraction off of the new price.So searching eBay for a good deal isn't always a great idea.Unless the seller has listed the equipment in the wrong category then you can pick up a bargain.Or the equipment is faulty,And lets face it,Nobody wants that great lens that doesn't work properly do they.or full of internal dust and fungus .you could always use MPB http://www.mpbphotographic.co.uk/ as well but i find their prices really steep as well.When i was looking to buy a 70-200  zoom i wanted to get the f2.8 L but wanted to find it as cheap as possible .I found the non IS version on MPB second hand at around £800. Today on the Jessops web site http://www.jessops.com/ I can get that same lens BRAND NEW for £989.Not much of a saving really.Personally i would rather pay the extra £189 and have it brand new .And the great thing about jessops you can get interest FREE finance.AND at the moment they have a sale on on most of their equipment .just check their web site out .some great savings to be had .
Also you can get equipment even cheaper if you go to Digital rev http://www.digitalrev.com/ .Personally i have never shopped from digital rev as i feared having to pay the tax duty on it.You can shave almost a couple of hundred pounds in some cases on some equipment.For example when i bought my 100 mm macro lens i paid £800 from Jessops but i could have got the same lens from digital rev for £615.It defiantly pays to look around and check out your options.Obviously if you have other sources where to buy equipment from i would be grateful if you could comment me the details .
