[QUOTE="§am, post: 50552, member: 9187"] Yeah.. worked out at $~148 and that's with no bargaining at all. It's one of their 'kit' offers at the moment :) I'm visiting the states hence ordered stuff in advance (works out so much cheaper than buying in the UK), and if they could have guaranteed the 50mm 1.8G to be in stock the fortnight I was there - well lets just say, after some hefty negotiating and a big order, that would have set me back $~135!!!! But as stock is so rare and the chances I won't get it, I can't pre-order as the shipping and customs etc would bring the price back to what I'm likely to pay here anyway :( Oh well... time to have fun with my new lens next week :D [/QUOTE]
