thanks - I updated the 1st post - where are my glasses when you need them

Wow, overstock has premium canon lenses. Yikes. I really don't need another location to go trolling but thanks for the heads up. Argh. Happy Cyber Monday to you all.

Many years ago I worked for a camera store and we had to send back or sell off all the Hasseblad gear to prevent inventory taxes, I don't remember how the deal worked with the distributor but after the first of the year we got new ones in stock to replace them.

I also bought a couple of super speed primes for a motion camera once when one company bought out another which had some motion gear in stock and they sold them out for startlingly low prices, I got two and was very happy with the purchase.

$1396 is a great price (with %15 Bing Cash Back). Oh to have more money to spend. Going to have to wait until next year.
