|---|---|---|
| Lens price (net) | €89,00 EUR | €89,00 EUR |
| Import duty (6.7 %) | none | + €5,96 EUR |

Example based on the same list price, excluding shipping, valid for deliveries within the EU. Duty rate 6.7% under the EU customs tariff for camera lenses (9002 11 00), import VAT 19% for Germany. Businesses can reclaim import VAT as input tax, but not the duty. Carriers usually charge an extra fee for customs clearance.

We offer Reverse Charge for our business customers within the EU. With a valid VAT number you can buy without paying the German VAT of 19%.
This does not apply to German business customers or to deliveries within Germany, as our shop is based in Germany.
Add the products to your cart and open the cart. Do not go straight to the checkout.
At the top of the cart you will find the box “Reverse charge: enter EU VAT ID”.
Open the box. Enter your VAT ID with the country code (e.g. DK12345678) and your email address, then click “Validate VAT ID”.
The check can take up to 15 seconds.
If the number is valid, a green confirmation appears. The prices in the cart are then shown as net prices.
Now go to the checkout and use the same email address. For delivery to another EU country, the VAT is removed at checkout.
Please do not place your order now, as we cannot refund VAT after the purchase. Instead, contact us with your VAT number and the products you want to order. We will create a manual order for you without VAT.
Some Blazar lenses with the official EF mount reach deep into the camera. On certain EF cameras and adapters, the rear of the lens hits parts inside the mount, so the lens won't seat or lock. Please check this before you order.

Find the rear protrusion
The technical drawings below show how far each lens protrudes at the rear with PL and EF mount.
Compare with your camera or adapter
If the maximum protrusion your camera or adapter allows is greater than the lens value, it should fit.
Look into the mount
Electronics, glass or mechanical parts that reach past the inner ring are the usual points of contact.
Using more than one adapter? Check each one separately. Tolerances vary between brands and even between production runs.
