Where can I get the best price on camera lenses?

I'm in the market for a new lens for my DSLR camera and was wanting to know where I can get the best price. My guess is Verkkokauppa.com, but I have my fingers crossed that there is another option.

And if the answer IS Verkkokauppa.com -- where is the best place to speak to camera professionals before my purchase? The guys in the Verkkokauppa.com don't seem to know a whole lot about their products, other than what they can read off a computer screen.

amazon.co.uk (free shipping to finland) although amazon.de has some things that the UK site does not have.

Rahala.. is a pun on its name Rajala, and means something like "money village" as they had a bit of reputation being expensive. Nowadays you can score a deals that local small camera and photo shops can't get from local distributors. They also have used stuff and with glass I would seriously consider those too as you can inspect and test before buying.

I got the best deal on my camera with Rajala. But you have to wait for an "action".
