Sorry, Richard. I guess it varies between regions.Not in the UK. £1099 everywhere.

Aussie RRP is $2,299.00 & most only have it with $50 off or a little more from my supplier at $2,238 except for the one seller above. They have just moved & probably looking for a little cash to sit on for now.Not in the UK. £1099 everywhere.
Strangely not even listed on the Europe:UK official Olympus shop though, unless I’m mistaken (likely).Not in the UK. £1099 everywhere.
I couldn't find it there either.Strangely not even listed on the Europe:UK official Olympus shop though, unless I’m mistaken (likely).
It makes a refreshing change. Global companies' normal pricing strategy is to make anything that is $1000 in US cost £1000 here.Sorry, Richard. I guess it varies between regions.
This works out to about £1107 including shipping. That's really good considering they actually have them in stock.In Poland one of Oly dealers has it ready for shipment for 5790pln - 6% discount (you need to calculate exchange rate for yourself). Shipment to GB approx. 22GBP, to Germany 22EUR.
I can give you the link, if interested.
Because of entries in this thread (including this one by @Dogbert62 ), I sent an email to B&H asking them to honor the current sale price of $100 off on the 100-400 for me when it does ship (I ordered it back in September). I got a reply saying they would and a second email showing the order adjusted, with the new $1399 price (still says "coming soon"). So that was nice.Purchased the lens from Olympus US on Aug 21st... Called them earlier this week regarding the new $100 discount. I was given an email to contact. The discount will now be applied to my order when it ships...
I am Happy with Olympus... They were gracious and helpful

Looks like it’s pre-order only on their main website. But still at £1,099.Just looked Wex Photographic site here in the UK and they're showing the lens in stock at five out of their nine branches. Price is £1199, which is £100 more than other retailers, who they are still asking for pre-orders. Looks as though Wex has received a recent stock shipment.
Yeah it's interesting which stores get them. I called one of the biggest shops in Portland (trying to get that 0% sales tax) and they didn't have any nor were they expecting to get any. They rec'd a store in Seattle. Surprisingly they had one that was returned (10% open box sale! off the msrp price) and also offered 0% sales tax and free shipping to San Francisco. I count myself very lucky; I was considering the lens but didn't preorder as I wanted to read some hands on review first.That sucks because the store here in Anchorage has 10 of them.
