Hey Everyone,

Well - I am off in the morning tomorrow. We have been going nuts getting ready. I went to B&H this morning first thing and thought that I was about to get the new 300 F2.8 (as they told me it was in stock). It turned out that they thought I was referring to the Nikon.

I was told by a salesman that they expect a MAP of 7,000. This is similar to what I have heard from other people in the know. If that is true, then I will probably pick up the first generation lens. It is incredibly sharp - and 2500 less.

James
