It's up a $100 dollars from last week.
Last week 1399.00
Now: 1499.95
They have a kit for $1460
I got one last week from Adorama and it appeared like new.
No focus issues. Perfect.

Interesting that Adorama went up 100.00. Seems like when B&H runs out of something that is when Adorama jacks the price up. Like the 50mm lens at 399.99 when B&H is out of stock at 325.00. B&H just happens to show out of stock on refurbished 5D. For a short while when B&H showed out of stock a couple weeks ago Adorama went up on thiers. Then shortly later B&H restocked at 1399.00 and Adorama went back down to 1399.00. I guess if buy when B&H is out of stock you are going to pay a premium.
Im waiting still for my refurbished warranty from B&H. If they are out of stock who knows how long that might be.

HA! I wish!

I have spent quite a lot of time here: https://photography-on-the.net/forum/showthre​ad.php?t=134756 You'll have to search through for the shots from the 5D users but they're in there.

127 pages of pure badassness. (That's a word. Seriously.)

Excellent, you will be very pleased. I bought mine from them 4 or 5 weeks ago and wouldn't think twice about doing it again. It came sealed from Canon with new strap, cables, manuals, battery, charger, and software.

Now comes the hard part; waiting for the brown bomber to show up in the driveway.

this is one of the best shot i've seen with the 5D / 17-40 combo! such detail and contrast.

Yeah, that's a great one. This lens has moved up to the top of my "must buy" list.
Right next to the 135L.
