Shameless Plug: B&H Photo Has 200mm VR f/2 In Stock!
If you’re looking for a 200mm VR f/2, B&H has them in stock now.
I mention this for 2 reasons:
1) It’s a hard lens to find in stock because they only make them in batches a few times a year. Nikon does this with all their high-end glass.
2) If you like this site and want to throw a couple of bucks my way to encourage me to continue, you can click a B&H ad on this site (like at the top of the main page) and then complete the order. This way, they know if came from my site and I get a couple of bucks thrown back to me.
They also have the PC-E lenses in stock.
Why do I like B&H? If they say it’s in stock, it’s in stock. If they say it’s $XX, it’s $XX. There isn’t any funny business.
Btw- Remember that thrill you had as a kid when you got to go to ToysRUs or some similar toy store? If you’re ever in Manhattan, go to their store- you’ll get that same feeling if you’re into cameras or video or lighting, etc- they’ve got it all in stock for you to take a look at and play with.
