Humm. Clitch at my end and part of my reply did not take. I also got the feeling that it would take longer than 2 weeks, from the tone of the email.
Henrys had several other orders, so i added my order to those, thinking it might help speed things up, if there were a few people wanting the lens. Its been two months, maybe i'll call and see whats going on. Maybe i'll look at the DA 70 as an alternative, but i'll hold out for the 77 ab bit longer.
