God forbid that some poor, homeless person use one of Wal-Mart's precious shopping carts for whatever stuff he or she may still have. This is a photography forum so I won't get on a tirade about "stupid laws designed to protect big business and keep the rest of us under control."

ChrisM, bummer. Hope they can get it to you soon.
Helene, the purpose of the law was to stop the homeless who were trading, buying and selling, drugs and weapons. They use the shopping carts to hide their illegal trade. Without reasonable cause the police were unable to stop and search the carts. By making the carts illegal they were able to come down hard on this illegal trade. Of course the drug dealers just went to using baby carriages and strollers. (My youngest son is an Atlanta police officer and deals with this every day.) But they were still able to substantially reduce the drug and weapons trade among the homeless.

That makes me feel a little better. I didn't think it was a Japan made one, but I was going on what the email I got said. Hopefully it comes back in stock soon. I checked around and the only other place I found it was on Amazon and the price was twice the amount I paid for it.

Is the lens made in China or assembled in china or a combination of both? Probably a combination of both. From what I understand Nikon does not contract out the production of their ED glass. Nobody can get their hands on that technology. Especially the Chinese who have no problem with taking someone else's technology for their own use. They do contract out the low end point and shoot glass (plastic). So the hangup may be the shortage of the ED glass from Nikon for the lens assembled in China.
I've just done the same, ordered the 35mm 1.8 as my first lens buy ever!!
Tracking DHL, it's already waiting for me back home, and I'm stuck at work!
Can't wait to use it, have a few family birthday parties coming up - hoping to test out the sharpness and bokeh!
Excited .....

Do what I do. Ship it to work. My boss knows if I get new camera equipment, I'm useless for the rest of the day. LOL

I think I have fallen into NAS as well I have 2 lens now (see siggy) but find my self drawn to looking at others for future use!! My wife is unsure whether photography will soon outstrip my computer hobby money wise. All I know is that my wish list for xmas is growing, whereas before I struggled and got socks etc. I think my children preferred that to "Oh I would like this lens and this tripod etc...." situation

Good Lord! lol I have 5 lenses, and thankful I have those! That's not to say I wouldn't want to get another lens though.

In Quebec, you can kill your 2 kids (stabbing 27 times) and not be criminally responsible because you were depressed ( got dumped by his wife ). ( That's our Casey Anthony )
Guy Turcotte found not criminally responsible in deaths of his two children
