After that point I started checking Amazon.com for lens orders. My last three lenses were out at B&H but I found them at Amazon. I would rather buy camera equipment at B&H but I think Amazon swings a bigger hammer when it comes to getting stock.

While I cannot be certain, I suspect this is true. Sad, because unless photographic equipment makers support bricks and mortar retail outlets, their demise will only be hastened (along with other high street retail outlets in the UK) to the disadvantage of us as hobbyists.

I too buy almost all my kit from a UK retailer (London Camera Exchange, where I have traded and bought my current Fuji gear), with minor exceptions like SD cards (far cheaper on Amazon) and items they do not stock (such as neoprene camera cases).
