100 what? macro? f/2?

Just get it from B&H. If it's out of stock, go to Adorama. Dell's prices are usually too much. When they're ok, then you just have their customer service to worry about. They also ship things via DHell, and put a small piece of brown paper in the box with your lens. Very bad packing.

Default Re: DELL?

Yes, I bought my second 5D body from them during last Thanksgiving's Black Friday sale for a terrific price and an equally terrific amount of aggravation. Their system "lost" the order, but I proved to them that I'd placed the order by sending them copies of print screens I'd made of the transaction. And then they were on backorder, which would have put it outside the rebate period.

I complained to a couple of supervisors quite vocally, and all of a sudden they "found" one. The whole process took a very irritating 6 weeks or so, but it was worth the purchase price of $1784 (after factoring in the double rebate.)

I have never had a problem with Dell. I got my PIXMA Pro9000 and 24-70L thru them (on my parents' special plan) and everything was fine. Just find a coupon or even buy one off ebay
