bought it at Best Buy as part of a package deal. they took 50 bucks off, so it was about 299. was the best price I could find in town, or on the major sites on the interwebz.

Plus, (my German Father and his love for bartering are seen here) since I was kicking down some $$$, I asked the camera manager helping me 'bout cards/filters etc, and he took between 25-50% off non sale prices right there, for those accessories.

So, even if you are buying from big box, be kind, ask questions, and don't be afraid to haggle/barter, it may pay off with $$$ for you.

I really like the lense a lot (for the few shots I took--which I will get posted up), but as I was in a meeting from 7:00-5:30 yesterday I still have not had the time.
