If the price is much cheaper than what someone like B&H or Amazon would charge, it's probably a fake. If it's not much cheaper, then why not go with a reputable dealer to begin with?

Were yours also sold by BlueProton or were they actually sold by Amazon? They seem to get either 1 star or 5 stars on resellerratings.com, so there's no way I'd buy from them: http://www.resellerratings.com/store/BlueProton/sort/rating

Amazon only provides the fulfillment process (they make a profit) and doesn't guarantee that any of the non-Amazon stores are reputable. Bob
