I'd also go amazon over Abes even if it was $50 more expensive. Abes is horrible and I won't be going back there again.

And not everyone needs wide as much as others. Some people find themselves in more situations where wide isn't needed or desired.

th0rr Member 199 posts Joined Jul 2008 Location: NorthWest More info | Oct 20, 2010 22:23 | #30 Bought from Abe's once and never again. I got a great price but it just wasn't worth taking the extra 20mins telling the guy no over and over when he called back to "confirm" my order. No to the extended warranty multiple times, no to the extra case, no to the cheapo $20 "protective" filter, no, no, no, no. After finally getting the point across about the filter his reply was "Ok, but I sure hope you don't use the lens alot. You really need this filter". Simply unbelievable. Thankfully no issues with the lens, touch wood. I shudder to think of having to deal with them concerning a return.
