Nikon D850; I want ;)

Sure thing. Although I just did VAT before and forgot duty....

USD price 3300 = £2600

Uk duty on this would be 3.5%, plus VAT 20% makes charges of around £600 ie total cost from US £3200

UK rrp £3500 ie £300 more

Excellent, just what I was after. Thanks MJ.

PS. Have you ordered one yet?

mjward

Not yet but getting close. Have drafted an email to send to a few of the Tier 1 US sellers like B&H and Adorama for a best price quote on the basket below. Just need to decide on filters & bag before I ping over. Hoping that buying in bulk should serve me well from a discount perspective.

I've been on B&H and they say due to some stipulation they're not shipping the D850 to the UK

I'm trying not to be jealous. Trying really hard

johnaalex

B&H are clearly misinformed!

mjward

I have a shipping rerouter account. Very easy (and cheap/free) to do but essentially I have US addresses that B&H will post to for free and tax free then my shipping company will forward it on to me (in sunny Saudi but there are similar companies that service UK albeit you will have to pay duty/VAT).

Congrats on the purchase sir!
Can I ask what made you choose Lexar vs Sony card?

snerkler

I thought lexar had gone bust?

snerkler

Probably, just relaying the info from their site
