Originally posted by bdavis Perhaps there should be a 50mm/1.4 thread that just gets bumped every time it comes in stock somewhere. Discussions about the lens, questions, reviews, etc. should still have their own threads, but it gets tiring to see "in stock" notices all the time. Just a thought (sorry if it's a bit cranky).
Actually.
When you start a new thread, it shows up on the Home page as a new thread and anyone just coming to the site will see it.
That is, in fact, how I found out that Beach Camera had some of the 50mm f1.4 lenses in stock.
As far as a generic thread is concerned. The old saying of "Out of sight, out of mind." would certainly apply.
So, as the varying retailers get certain "Hard to find" items in stock, I will, and I hope others do, continue to post that those items are now available at XXX store.
If this bothers you? I'm sorry. But, I think others may well like the idea of these posts.
At any rate, you have a very Merry Christmas, Happy Holiday Season and a great New Year.
