So is there anywhere to get this lens right now for close to the retail price. I'm set up to receive notifications from places like b&h when they get them in but who knows when that will be. I've also seen it at a few places but they want $100 to $200 more then the normal selling price. I'm trying to keep my eye out here for any used ones but they don't seem to pop up much and when they do they move quickly. So anyone know of anywhere that has them in stock for a reasonable price? Thanks.

the waiting game...

check this section. Usually someone posts when its available. Only problem is it sells out usually within a few hours of it being posted.

Why not post a WTB ad?

It's definately a waiting game. I really wanted the lens so I checked B&H once in the morning and once in the evening. I waited about 2 weeks before it showed in stock again. I purchased right away then posted here to let everyone know about it. All stock was gone in less than 24 hours.

Don't settle for the inflated used prices for that lens here. Just be patient and check stock at B&H regularly. They seem to restock the lens much more frequently than other retailers out there.

this lens is hard to find :(

I know eBay has a few but i rather purchase from Amazon or B&H or a more reputable seller. And most of the 11-16s on eBay are from Hong Kong sellers. They have good feedback but if somehow something went wrong, it'll be very very long and very very hard to get a replacement in a reasonable amount of time. i guess you'll just have to do the "email me when available" thing. Can't wait to get my hands on one

I just ordered it even though it's out of stock so I'm at the front of the line when it arrives. Just patiently waiting :cool:

noobs,

Good luck. I hope you get it soon! I've only had it for a couple of days but just playing around with it, it seems like a great lens.
