Hey mate Greetings from downunder in NZ. Just letting you know I bought a *18-50 from Adorrama as part of a large purchase including the *300.
Ordered online on the 5th of Jan 2010 using the best FedX service, and it was picked up once I'd payed 12.5% customs, 7 days latter. thats right 7 days. Fantastic service and the savings are just huge. US $ weak @ moment.
So dont worry, Just order through Adorama. But Use the most expensive frieghting service ($100) the tracking features are Sweet.
Its a big lens though, i'm not used to it. Love my K7 with my F50 1.7.
But the big news for me is how wonderful the *300 is to use, love it.
Also bought a Gitzo carbon monopod, and a rode microphone. And a 77mm pol filter. MMM pressies for my k7.
Oh yeah dont drink a bottle of red wine then go online shopping haha
