Anyone knows a place where they sell this lens for a reasonable price and where there's no waiting list at all (or almost no waiting list)?
I'd like to have it as fast as possible without paying 1100$CAN when it's supposed to be 800$CAN.
Thanks! |

Not sure on the size of the waiting list, but you may want to check out //www.thecamerastore.com/. They are based in Calgary and have heard they are excellent to deal with, pretty sure their shipping side of things is the same.

| There's lots of them on eBay - you just have to buy a D200 to go with it. |

Well, I have ordered it from about 5 stores and haven't gotten one yet, but since I'm leaving on vacation in a couple of weeks I had to bite the bullet and buy one on ebay for $965 US. I figure that I should be receiving one in the mail from the stores I ordered from in the coming month or two, so I will put it on ebay for $965 and will then recapture the "premium" I had to pay to get it before I left on vacation.
Sooo, to answer your question, buy one on ebay if you want it now, otherwise be prepared to wait at least three months to get one through a store.
Cheers,

P.S. I got my 18-200 in the mail today. So far so good. The zoom creeps a little if the camera is held with the lens in the verticle position, but everything else works well. |

My zoom creeeps a lot when I carry the camera slung over my shoulder. I've taken to using a rubberband stretched between the lens hood and the hot shoe.
edit: sorry I'm no help in how to get one. I went to B&H everyday until I caught them with one in stock and ordered immediately. I've had it now for a few months.

I was afraid of that. It seemed to creep around, I haven't carried it over my shoulder for any length of time yet, but the rubberband idea is a good one. |
