Well since I really want the lens, of course I'd say you did well (though you didn't say what you paid for it)....and B&H is totally safe. People around here have bought tons from them.

Great move! Should be awesome. B&H is a very reputable dealer.

I think you'll be safe with B&H. I've even bought used from them for shipping over to the UK, the item was exactly as described and I had no problems at all. You'll like the lens! I bought the mark II version and it's incredible, I've no reason to doubt that the mark I isn't it's equal. The only real difference is the slightly faster focussing speed and the improved coatings.

cheers
