Glad I found this thread....put my offer in yesterday and got an email advising Adorama is shipping out today. Saved few hundred dollars. Good stuff.

OK, good - so as I said above, drop me a line if there are issues with the exchange

Will do! It appears all is going well though. Shipped the lens back today and now the long wait until I get the replacement lol

Andrew at GreenToe has been emailing and brokering a deal with me all day. We finally came to terms and my 100mmL macro lens shipped today. Very excited, can't wait to get it.

Question for you old photogs, is it normal for camera vendors to require signatures on shipments? I have been an Amazon buyer for years, bought many 'expensive', big ticket items, and never had to worry about being home for delivery.

We have a detached home with a fenced front porch, and we have always had deliveries left at the front door.

We almost had a deal breaker because unique photo wanted a signature. We both work days and will likely never be home when a delivery is made.

Yes, most do require signature.

Easy fix though. Request hold for pickup. Both UPS and Fedex offer this. They hold the item at a local facility and you can pick it up whenever. That is what I do. I like it because it is available first thing in the morning.

just received my 24-70 MKII from adorama. tested it out and this thing is sharp. thx adorama...

Not to start a whole new filter/no filter debate, but save your money unless you shoot in extreme locations, with lots of blowing dust, or sea spray, etc.

One time only. They just had a set of special codes which expired on halloween.

Has anyone picked up the Siggy 35 Art thru Green? Just wondering what the going price range is for the 899 lens?

just made a bid on the canon 35L. i hope adorama accepts it...
