[QUOTE="Fortkentdad, post: 559057, member: 24285"] + Pulled the trigger and ordered at Kenko Pro 300 1.4 from B&H. $129 US (I think that is on discount?) - came to $165 CDN significantly less than any on offer in Canada. I hope the warranty is international - sometimes they are not. BTW "Free Shipping" to Canada I discovered only applies if you pre-pay the duty fees. (Which were about half what K&H wanted for shipping same item so still less) I've ordered lots of camera gear from the USA and other places. Never ever paid a duty fee. This 'pre-pay' the duty and save yourself the hassle is dubious at best. I just considered it shipping. I could have paid the shipping and avoided the duty fee - it came out within pennies of the same amount. Coincidence I'm sure. Coming by US Mail to Canada Post via Canada duty people - should have it by July, well August for sure. I also snagged an APE Large ACPROLC18 lens case - many reviewers raved about how well it held their 200-500. I have mine in a big hard case - great protection for sure, not the easiest thing to sling about. Now I'll have options. Picked it up used for $29.00 - sweet deal, costs $69 here in Canada.
