Re: FA 35/2 status at B&H and Adorama

[Paul Stenquist]

If B&H says a lens is  backordered, they will almost certainly have  
some in stock sooner or later. If a lens is unavailable, they take it  
off their web site. I haven't seen them fail yet when it comes to  
delivering on their promises. For some, it may be worth the wait. I  
waited for both my FA 50/1.4 and my FA 35/2, and obtained both for 10  
to 20% less than the ebay price.

This makes a point that people who always wait for the best price will  
sometimes lose.
People waiting for B&H to get them one at $309.00 may wait for a long  
while.
I picked mine up a few weeks ago from an eBay seller.
NIB for $329.00
I paid an extra 20 bucks, but the thing is sitting on my camera right  
now.
