Thanks Russ. Let us know when you do. We're taking a cruise next

and I think I may want one of those badly. I may have to put some old

she runs
over them!

There's a few shots over there now, but nothing that takes advantage
of the VR technology. Probably the most amazing thing this lens
brings to the table is its incredible versatility in such a compact
and lightweight package. Barely more cumbersome that the 18-70 DX
kit lens. I have no idea how Nikon fit that much functionality into
such small package. I suspect this lens will be mounted to my camera
body just about all of the time.



Russ,
Where did you find the lens? How long did you have it on order and
what was the price?


One of the local pro shops apparently has at least one unit in stock, or
at least that's the indication I got from looking at the site.

Harry,

How much does it cost to get the link to the local pro shop?

I have checked every shop in town, none have them in stock, and won't
even guess when they will get them, they don't even have a floor sample
to look at. They are selling them on Ebay for $1000 plus, I have mine
on order for $749, so I just hate to throw away the money when I know it
is coming soon or at least, that is what they are telling me.



As soon as the store responds to me, I'll let you know. If you had a
legit email with a real name and so forth...well, that would be different.

How about telling me, Harry? If you got the info from the store's site, why
not post the link.
