Bought a k-3 with the 18-135 lens and grip from bhphoto. Also got a new camera bag, and some other accessories. Camera is on order still so I have a mostly empty camera bag now.
In my experience, BH has been quick to ship. Hopefully you'll have it soon.

I bought three Portuguese rolls for $1.00 at Key Food.

UPDATE 12/6/2014:
We ate two of them today with some chorizo sausage.

UPDATE 12/8/2014
I finished the last roll with the leftover sausage (cold) after the Platt Xmas party at Andy & Lynn's yesterday.
It was a little stale.

UPDATE 12/13/2014:
They were so good I bought some more today.

Chris

Oh man, that's horrible. So, what happens next? Do you have to wait for them to find it, do they reimburse you, or what?

UPS told me that an investigation would take up to eight business days and suggested that I contact Adorama. When I did, Adorama told me their investigation would take at least ten business days! I'm considering calling again Monday to ask if they could either send another one, put the money towards a different item, or just refund me.

Hard to resist the deals in November. But it was a mixed bag for me, most was good, a little was not so good.

I got a K3, DA Limited 20mm-40mm, battery grip, and a 540 flash from B&H with large discounts. Great equipment!

I was very happy with the price until they later lowered the camera price by $100 and lens price by $17. That's the way the cookie crumbles.

The tracking info shows that it was lost before it got anywhere near your address? Good luck, however it turns out for you.

Bought the K5iis and flash bundle. It was delivered and set in the snow between the porch and a shrub. A few days later we got a shipment of tea and that was left inside of the porch, guess I forgot to lock the house that day

I bought a Sigma 150-500 lens from B&H and a new router from Newegg. That took 15 minutes on the computer, long enough to finish my coffee before heading off to the mountain for a day of skiing.

In an effort to control impulse buying during Black Friday sales I bought an FA77/1.8 during the Halloween Specials.

I actually bought a second copy of the DA 15mm, the HD silver version. I had the first version in black. I'm not sure why I did it, but at less than I paid for the first one 3 years ago, I couldn't stop myself. It should be fun to compare them, at any rate.

If you bought during the BlackFriday sales, post pics of your new gear as you get it.

My first package just arrived.




Still waiting on my 2nd package to show up.
As much as I appreciate Ricoh those two boxes are so wrong - I can't recall ever seeing a product package with two manufacturers names on it - and the excuse that Pentax is a just brand name doesn't work for me either. Ricoh needs to chill .

Yeah, it's like buying an Aston Martin with a Ford emblem next to the actual Aston logo.

So UPS said they found my lens and it was suppose to arrive yesterday. No lens. Adorama said they still don't know where it is and to call them today if I still don't have it. But I just realized that their customer service is closed on weekends.

No one likes me.
