Because we have to pay 20% VAT plus other costs as we are no longer part of the EU?
My understanding was that EU suppliers selling to UK sell tax free, UK consumers then pay 20% VAT on import which will end up being approximately the same as the EU tax-paid price?

If i'm mistaken in my assumption here then I would expect market forces to quickly remedy that anomaly.
I think that was how it was "supposed" to happen but most people ( including myself) that have bought things from the EU lately have been hit with a customs bill.

Both of these lenses are in excellent condition and come boxed with hood, front and rear caps,

They both have the same SDM "problem" in that it can take them a few seconds to wake up before they will start to autofocus but once they are going then they are fine until the next time you attach them. If that is annoying to you then you can get them converted to screw drive (or do it yourself) where they will work perfectly all of the time.

I am asking £300 for the 16-50mm and £350 for the £50-135mm incl UK postage.

I can do some pictures if required.

Thanks.

Needed to scratch an itch.

Bought a Sony A9, autofocus and tracking speed is all I imagined (and more).

Feels like cheating a bit.
