maddav Posted June 7, 2007 Share #1 Posted June 7, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hi everyone, This lens seems to be out of stock everywhere in the US. Is it the same in Europe? If it is, do you know when it is likely to be available again? Thanks! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

tashley Posted June 7, 2007 Share #2 Posted June 7, 2007 Hi everyone, This lens seems to be out of stock everywhere in the US. Is it the same in Europe? If it is, do you know when it is likely to be available again? Thanks! I had one several weeks ago that was badly adjusted. I returned it for replacement rather than repair, and got a call from my dealer yesterday to say that the new one will arrive tomorrow, so there's clearly a shipment around, just not sure if they are all pre-allocated. I'll ask him, and let you know if he has any more of them in the batch. Tim Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mat_mcdermott Posted June 11, 2007 Share #9 Posted June 11, 2007 As of this past Saturday morning Bergen County Camera had one. As they are closed on Sunday, it very well may still be there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
endustry Posted June 11, 2007 Share #10 Posted June 11, 2007 Part of the problem is that so many people pre-order through the same relatively small batch of well-known dealers that a huge queue forms. Meanwhile, the mom and pop stores get inventory that languishes. I waited for a WATE (no pun intended) for several months before finally deciding to take matters into my own hands. After less than ten minutes of Googling and one phone call to confirm inventory, I ordered one from a small shop in Michigan called Adray Camera. The lens showed up the next day and works like a dream. Of course, the only problem now is that mom and pops rarely receive very much inventory so the first person who discovers the shop is usually the only person to benefit from the discovery. Still, there has to be more shops out there if one is willing to put the time in to find them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
leicabug Posted June 11, 2007 Share #11 Posted June 11, 2007 Got it from Bergen County Camera, thanks to Matthew's tip. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
leicabug Posted June 11, 2007 Share #12 Posted June 11, 2007 This is the first time I do business with Bergen County Camera. My first impression is that they seem to have an excellent sales people. Bob G told me that two people have backed out of the deal of 28/2.8 ASPH. That's why they still have it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cometsoft Posted June 12, 2007 Share #15 Posted June 12, 2007 B&H has been showing one in stock all day. I was tempted, but I've got a 24mm and a 35mm, can't really see the need for a 28. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
