Where would that be located?

Can't have it shipped cuase of customs.... they open packages and check what they are, and charge you ridiculous amount of money to get it...

Then have someone take it to the borderfor you.

Now that you mention it... I wonder if it would be worth driving 8 hours to New York (forgot the name of the big camera store there) and buy a lens there.....
I shall make such a search after I'm done with my night shifts...
Anyone has good advice for that?

If you drive past Saskatchwan, pick me up! :lol:

*just realized how far 8 hours actually is* Damn!

Anyone know of any good canadian distributors? Online stores etc.

I know we have henrys,futureshop,best buy, and generalized stores but usually they charge an arm and leg.

I dont think there is anything around these high prices other than second hand or through the states.
