I need it's companion. And I'm in Canada so with exchange that $1029 should be $1,251.73 at today's exchange rates ( CDN $ .83 US) I think they look at the exchange rate and then double it Currently the Tamron 70-200 2.8's in Canada is trending at about $1,500 with many stores selling for much more. Best price today on 'photoprice.ca" is Amazon.ca at $1,442 ( [url=http://www.photoprice.ca/product/04370/Tamron-70-200mm-f2.8-SP-Di-VC-USD-for-Nikon-price.html]Tamron 70-200mm f/2.8 SP Di VC USD for Nikon - Canada and Cross-Border Price Comparison - photoprice.ca[/url] ) Checked to see if importing would save me any - at the expense of easy warranty service - no it would cost me. At B&H I looked it up, converted to CDN and shipped to me it would be $1,914. Ouch. So, that 70-300mm is still on my radar for the moment.
