Not sure about the prices you paid. Amazon has the 50mm with free 2 day shipping. They also have the 430ex for $275.38 with free 2 day shipping. They also had the RC-5 for $18.57 with free shipping (but from a 3rd party vendor).

Yeah, always shop around first! or at the very least, always check amazon and adorama first..http://m08o1124znfu179.imageshacknow.info/img/2465/o09a0208gstn/POTNsmile.gif

yeah guys, thats what i did, but im looking for overnight shipping, amazon's expedited is 1-3 business only, not guaranteed overnight(the store for the 430exII) if they can ship it by friday, the route of UPS here is around in the afernoon, hence, im leaving on friday at noon time, so i cant bring my stuff. so i want overnight shipping.

Amazon has the 50mm with free 2 day shipping
didnt find it.:(
They also have the 430ex for $275.38 with free 2 day shipping
i also need the diffuser, battery, and charger, so same price i think


amazon just sent the tracking no. but Digil foto didnt give any update for my order,:mad: i just sent an email.

If you order enough stuff from Amazon you might want to consider Amazon Prime. it is $79/year and gets you free 2 day shipping on all purchases from Amazon (not 3rd party sellers) no matter what how small the order. You can upgrade any item to overnight shipping for $3.99/item. They are currently having a promotion (http://www.amazon.com/gp/subs/primeclub/signup/main.html) where you can signup, get 1 month for free, and then cancel within the first month if you don't want the service. You can also add other family members. Very nice service and highly recommended.

I started off with the 50mm II F1.8 too, best bang for buck lens i've ever bought.
Since you bought all of those at once, now let your camera gear list slowly build up and your wallet getting lighter :D
