Hi dave, I found it at International Camera on The Queensway. I stop there 3 or 4 times a year. Sometimes I get lucky. He has a couple of F70-200/4-5.6 (not SMC). And after I picked up the Tamron lens, I saw (in a box) an F70-210/4-5.6 SMC lens. For $100 less, I felt that the Tamron was a better deal, and easier to focus. If I still had my Z-1p, I would have considered the F70/210. I'll keep you posted with my results of the Tamron.
