$375 walk around lens

I'm having a bad day. I ordered a Tamron 28-75/2.8 that was on back oreder from www.uniquephoto.com and they said it would be getting to them by today. Well I found out today that it won't be in their hands until 3-4 weeks from now. Being as they already charged my credit card and I payed it off, I'm looking to buy another lens. I would like the Tamron, but I'm too impatient to wait a month. I was looking at the Sigma 24-70/2.8. I would like to see some sample shots. Anything else worth looking into, or should I wait it out?

I also found out that my video card and dvd burner that was scheduled for today's arrival won't show up until Monday.

Wait for the Tamron - great lens. In the long run wouldn't you rather have a great lens?

That sucks! I got mine from Amazon in 2 days - but I paid another 20 for it too. Hope it shows up soon! See my thread on my first day with my tamron... let's just say it was not love a first sight... but were getting to know each other better and things on better.

I got my money back. So I just need to find a place with it in stock.

Amazon is out of stock.

Have you tried B&H and Adorama?

I'm supposed to get a notice from B&H when it comes back in stock.

Adorama = out of stock due to backorder issues.

www.NYCV.com in PA. I was there last week and he said they had a bunch of them in stock. buy online or give them a call. Call the Southampton store if they list the phone number. 215-357-6222.

I may be violating a thread rule, but I've had a post up for two days in the Marketplace forum selling my 3 month old Tamron.

It's in mint condition with hood, caps, original box etc.

Couple of feelers so far but no takers. :-\

Good luck on your search if you choose to stick with brand new.
