I just got a 28mm f2.8 that's nowhere near as expensive as the L line and I had to wait the better part of a month to get it from Amazon. The assembly line must be slow this month. Fri, 27 Mar 2009 14:21:37 +0000 http://www.lightstalkers.org/posts/lens-angst#144528 The 35 1.4L has always been hard to find. It took me like 6 months to find mine 4 years ago, can't remember where I bought it from but it was one of the smaller outfits. Too bad I just dropped it onto solid concrete :( I don't recommend doing that.

Fri, 03 Apr 2009 00:34:21 +0000 http://www.lightstalkers.org/posts/lens-angst#145006 I resent being called insidious Fri, 03 Apr 2009 20:43:27 +0000 http://www.lightstalkers.org/posts/lens-angst#145101 And you are "kinda pushy," too. Sat, 04 Apr 2009 00:11:28 +0000 http://www.lightstalkers.org/posts/lens-angst#145111 I am not pushy, I dont care what Mom says about me Sat, 04 Apr 2009 16:18:23 +0000 http://www.lightstalkers.org/posts/lens-angst#145139 Please, if anybody read my mention of ordering from preferred photo--do not take it as advice to do so. was sharing. and wish i had not ordered from them. total scam and night mare. will send out a separate post on lightstalkers once i am finished with the drama. still enmeshed, not pretty. but trust me. do NOT order from them. only adorama, b&h, and calumet for me from now on. if anybody DID order, please feel free to contact me about potential methods of dealing with them. Tue, 07 Apr 2009 17:10:46 +0000 http://www.lightstalkers.org/posts/lens-angst#145423 sorry to hear about your bad experience. there are many scam online photo shops. fyi, K&M, KEH, and photovillage are 3 other LEGITIMATE shops that are 100% safe to order from. Tue, 07 Apr 2009 17:22:11 +0000 http://www.lightstalkers.org/posts/lens-angst#145426 thanks, aaron. good to know! the more, the merrier. Tue, 07 Apr 2009 18:32:40 +0000 http://www.lightstalkers.org/posts/lens-angst#145434 Sorry to hear that Tanya, I think most of us have been burnt once before by the NY scam shops. The good or bad thing, depending on how you look at it, is that the experience is usually so egregious that we make sure it never happens again. Tue, 07 Apr 2009 19:21:08 +0000 http://www.lightstalkers.org/posts/lens-angst#145441 I'm sorry to hear about your trouble Tanya. Don't go anywhere that has either a remote Brooklyn address or no brick and mortar location or both. Some guy went to a lot of trouble to put this site together http://donwiss.com/pictures/brooklynstores/ about all the sketchiness in bklyn. The accents can be a classic give away. Fri, 17 Apr 2009 23:51:56 +0000 http://www.lightstalkers.org/posts/lens-angst#146314 some rural semi-high-end camera shops carry the 35 (and 50 1.2). when i bought mine, calumet in philly was out, b&h was out and so was keh and i drove 20 miles away from the city and got one at a place called New York Camera & Video: http://www.nycv.com Sat, 18 Apr 2009 03:03:41 +0000 http://www.lightstalkers.org/posts/lens-angst#146323 try Calumet x Thu, 14 May 2009 12:05:23 +0000 http://www.lightstalkers.org/posts/lens-angst#148144
