However smaller shops said they can try to get it in and match any discout (the point system). Tom | flickr

I've decided to wait for the larger shops to get enough stock and call me I'm guessing the price will be about the same of 1Ds MKIIThat could be a good idea. I was thinking the same thing, but I also heard the smaller shops will be in the same boat on an even smaller scale. 1Ds MKIII, 5D, 30D, EF 50mm f/1.2L , EF 85mm f/1.2L , EF 24-70mm f/2.8L , EF 80-200mm f2.8L, EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS , EF 300mm f/2.8L , EF 400mm f2.8L IS, EF 800mm f5.6L IS EF 180mm f/3.5L Macro , EF 100mm f/2.8 Macro .....
