where to get the best Tamron 28-75mm 2.8 lens?

Hey the other day I found one for $288...
and i wanted to copy the link here to see if it was legit or fake..
now i lost the link... (why don't I bookmark stuff?!)

anyway, does anyone where i could get it for the best price?

due to its many comments of 'build' quality, i'd like to get a new one.

I guess the best price I've found was this..

$334 and its gonna be around $15 bucks for 3day shipping.

is photo4less ok?

Seems awfully cheap. Have you checked reseller ratings? I would rather pay a little more and go with someone like B&H or Adorama. But that is me.

It is a great lens.

overall it has a good rating...

anyone know what it means to be "imported" and if it affects warranty ?

Usually means its a grey market item and if so, US warranty wont be good. Get the serial number and call Tamron to confirm.

I called Photo4less and they said the warranty is void..
but for $22.95 i can get 7yr warranty

So from Photo4less you are looking at

$334 Lens
$15 Shipping
$23 Warranty
$372 for a grey market lens

Or you can go to B&H and get a non-grey market lens
$399
Shipping included
Tamron 7 year warranty included
Less $10 rebate
$389 for a "legitimate" lens.

I know what I would do.

Thats what I just did..
I did not wanna risk it...

i got the camera and 2 day air shipping...

from B&H
