Me too, graywolf. Adorama have generally been ok for me, except when I bought the P67 100mm macro, which I am sure the listing said "w/ life converter". When it arrived, no converter. They said they packed everything that came with the lens. The listing of course wasn't on the site any more (and dummy me, I didn't save a copy).
