No one seems to have it at the moment, and I want it :(

I got lucky, a local Wolf Camera (same thing as Ritz Camera) had some in stock for $299.

I LOVE this lens.

When I was trying to find one last week, someone here mentioned they got theirs at Sears for $299.

Circuit City had plenty of them for $329, and I'm sure Best Buy the same. But I wasn't going to pay more than $299 for the lens.

Yeah, over $300 shipped is a bit much for me.

I was marginally serious about the Costco thing ;)

I was willing to pay $299 + tax because I really wanted it for my road trip out west that I leave for tomorrow. :cool:

And thank God my Hoya circular polarizer filter JUST arrived today after waiting 2 weeks for it to get here from Hong Kong. I'm set!

I'm going to be at a Red Sox game next Friday night and really want the lens for that.

This will be a night game too.

I'm sure I won't be able to get a fast enough shutter to stop any real action, but I'm OK with static shots.

I'd love to see any photos you get tonight so I can know what to expect!

Well I will be up in a suite where it's all you can drink, so I'm not expecting to get many decent shots. :lol:

But I'll PM you with some if they turn out.

I had a heck of a time trying to find that lens 2 weeks ago. I walked into Sears for a couple of other things and low and behold they had some there. Worth a shot. Sears is selling them for $299.
