I've never seen Harvey Norman stock niché items such as L-series lenses (it's typically an ordered-in item with a few days to two weeks lead time). As a consequence, they wouldn't be able to pass that volume purchase discount on.

If your local Harvey Norman does stock those lenses, then there must be a lot of amateur enthusiasts and professional photographers living in your area.
