Hi,
Thanks to all who responded. I really think I will order one from either
B&H or Adorama.
Will I lose anything (except a different warranty) by purchasing Grey? I
would also order either the 20mm f/2.8 or the 20-35 f/3.5-4.5 (still can't
decide...) at the same time, so combined saving by ordering Grey is
worthwhile, I think.
What is "weak bokeh"? I think it's the look of the out of focus image,
caused by this lens difference in two axis performance.
