Nah, I'm not buying anything for now. Thanks for asking and good luck

[Vulpix0r]

Doh, anyone else want to share shipping and with a verified Adorama account?

If you guys could wait for a while, out of job for the time being ... perhaps you would be able to get more people after chinese new year to defray shipping costs...if buying from the states is directly cheaper .. but I am looking for old stars lens...

But look likes I won't make it this time anyway.

Do share with us your new lens pics, after you have got them..

Thanks

I think they might already have it instock. But who knows. I'm sure someone in the States already ordered the lenses from them. Hopefully they'd update us at DPR

Thanks for the link. Seems an excellent lens except the PF part. I'm sure some here would love to have the lens

I wanna order one each too. Thanks for posting. The problem is that Adorama usually listing untocked lenses and taking a long time to supply to the pre-orders while everyone already got the lens
