I forgot to call BH today, and i sent them a message yesterday if they got the money or not so then i have to play a waiting game as usual.
I got a reply today that they are working in processing my order, so i think they will send it for shippment in these few days coming then shipping with UPS is mostly 3 days so what do you think at what date it will be here?

December 14th at a good guess. They should treat you better than they do.

C'mon people, we have a couple of lines free. Ring now!

Forgot to mention the $260 I spent on a Spyder2Pro at B&H.

You can add my third party tripod collar for the Canon 70-200 f/4L IS so far. $72 on Ebay.

.. the lens hasn't even been purchased but I would say it is a safe bet to assume it is a matter of when, not whether. And that When is definitely before Christmas. I am just waiting to drop in on a particular camera dealer in person and paw the lens a little
