John, That 12-days-of-sales is a pain in the ass. Only got notice on day 1, then I had to scramble to see them. B&H's deals for Thanksgiving were better and broaded on products. Better yet, I bought a HD DFA15mm before the sale and called back for the sale price. Saved a quick $130. B&H is very good! Regards, Bob S.
