...............before ordering.
There is absolutely no refurbs to be had anywhere.
getitdigital has them new for $1,499 but the gray stuff makes me very nervous, even though [MENTION=13090]Horoscope Fish[/MENTION] has dealt with them before. Right now they are 1,999 at Adorama and such places. That is a huge difference. Almost enough to buy a Tokina 16-28 f2.8.

One more week then I'm pulling the trigger either way.

I think if the gray market unsettles you then your right to ignore it,i know i feel nearly the same,i will continue to bring it to peoples attention though as i do see it as a valid alternative.

Ordering.................... what?

I make the same mistake all the time. Someone asks a question about a camera or lens and doesn't inform of the make or model. Then I go,"Hey! Whatsamatter with this guy?"..Then I realize, I'm in a camera/lens specific forum.

I'm close to the same point. The only snafu I see with the gray market is resale. Are they easy enough to sell when it comes time? I see lots of listings for new gray market, but I never seem to run across any used listings.

Most owners will not state if its gray,its just s secondhand camera.
