I understand your situation Tom, where have you looked?
There will be very cheap lenses, if you look in the right place.

I guess it's just economy of scale: they make a lot more of the "continental" ones, so they can make them in bigger batches for a lower cost per piece.
more likely,.being based in the uk, they can sell a lot more of the LHD version, so can charge more.

I doubt that. Most parts prices (unless they are for more "rare" NLA parts) are dependent on the dealer's cost. I'll bet the left-hand drive lenses are more expensive everywhere.
