Lens prices

I just recieved in the mail a catalogue from B&H - a camera and gear shop in New York. I once bought a Canon FD-EOS adapter from them.

Their prices are very interesting as compared to Australian prices....

Lens ......... Canon Oz ..... QS ..... CHL ..... B&H
28 1.8 ....... 849 ............ 510 ................ 413
50 1.4 ....... 659 ............ 410 .... 559 ..... 323
17-85 ...... 1099 ............ 600 .... 919 ..... 538
70-200 2.8 2409 .......... 1310 ................1183
400 5.6 ... 2319 ........... 1480 .............. 1145
10-22 ..... 1399 ............ 770 .... 1169 .... 741
18-55 2.8 . 1999 ......... 1150 .... 1679 .. 1075
17-40 4 ... 1439 ........... 780 .... 1199 .... 699
85 1.8 ......... - ............ 450 ................ 364
1.4x ........ 599 ............ 400 ................. 296

How do I do tables with this thing???


All in AUD. QS is an Oz on-line store that sells 'grey' imports, CHL is a Oz retail shop that is a part of a franchise, B&H is the Yank retailer. Postage charges from the US are US$25 first pound, then US$5.50 for each extra pound and insurance is US$1.25 per US$100.

So, these Yank prices are on average 49.9% of the Canon Aust RRP. probably round that up to about 55 or 60% including postage.
