Kinda new to the forums.. but whats the link to AAFES?

Not to sound like its a secret club or anything but it's truly one of those places where if you have to ask, it is not available to you.

AAFES is a military exchange store, both online and B&M store. You have to have a military ID card to use it.

dang, if only there was a way around that,, I would love to get me a 100mm macro lens..

Just snatched a 580 EX,

There's not. It's exclusively for military members, dependents, and retirees...and their personal use only. If they were to buy one with the intent of reselling it to you, it would be illegal and they could lose their shopping privileges there forever.

With all this being said, for those of you who don't know anything about AAFES, for everyday shopping, it's not really that great. For household/standard items, Wal-Mart is usually cheaper. When it come to photography equipment, they have a very limited selection and the prices are normally in the same ballpark as Adorama, B&H, or Amazon. In many cases though, they are more expensive. But once or twice a year, a AAFES coupon will come out and you can a great one-time deal on one item...but with a limited selection.

Definitely a good deal for those who serve/have served, but it's not like there's continual access to sweet deals.

Damn! How did i miss this??? I wanted to get a sigma or canon 50mm for a while now. Maybe its a sign... Maybe im not suppose to get it...

Got a s100 for 303.00, can't wait to get it bc everyone has been using my 300 hs around the house, the s100 will be for my use only...lol!!!

Anyone receive their items yet? Great deal, but the wait is killing me! (10-14 days for shipping is craziness!)

I got my s100 about 4 days ago.

I sent it to my buddy on active duty and he got it about a week ago. Got himself a nice prime!
