I noticed that in Germany the price of the [shoplink 15659]Voigtländer Nokton 25mm f/0.95[/shoplink] went up from 875 to 899 Euros (Source: Idealo). And you can’t find it cheaper on [shoplink 15659 eBay]eBay (Click here)[/shoplink]. But there is on store selling the Nokton for a very good price. You can get the lens for $819 at BHphoto (Click here).
For us European readers 819$ is an incredible price of 565 Euro. A flight from Frankfurt to NYC costs you 420 Euro (Source: Kayak.com). Summa summarum if you fly to NYC and buy the lens at BH you pay 85 Euro only extra for the flight! :)
And if along the Nokton you buy the GH2 which costs 1.429 Euro in Europe and 1034 Euro ($1500) in US Than you save 310 Euros!
There are only two problems with that story:
1) Theoretically you have to pay taxes for imported products
2) Bhphoto doesn’t have the lens in Stock right now.
So you might take a look on [shoplink 15659 eBay]Nokton eBay auction anyway (Click here)[/shoplink] :)
