If a deal is too good to be true, it usually is. After-market lenses, i.e. Sigma, Tokina, Tamron, etc. are more profitable than OEM lenses (this is why most salespeople will steer you toward them and away from Nikkors), so you may find some deals on these. It is the batteries, straps, bags/cases, after-market lenses and flashes, etc. that keeps the doors open at photo stores. If a store only sold bodies & OEM lenses, it would be out-of-business in short order.</blockquote>
