UGH....So my lens was shipped from BH 2 1/2 weeks ago. Last week Thurs. it was declared lost by UPS. The day it showed back up on the tracker (Friday) it was at my local UPS. At this point BH did a recall on it so I couldn't get it. Of course it was still on backorder at BH and they couldn't ship a replacement. Today the lens made it back to BH and tomorrow they are supposed to reship it back out to me. Lets hope it makes it this time. I'm hoping all the time in shipping doesn't cause harm to it. What a trail

Just found out Wifey ordered this on January 22nd. Now I will be responsible for crashing Adorama's website checking status every 5 or 6 seconds. :waiting:

My one concern: I'm planning on getting the Canon 70-200 f/2.8L IS II once I can scrape together the cash.
Assuming I have that lens, adding a 2x and 1.4x teleconverter (which themselves cost only a bit less than the Tamron lens) would make it a ~200-560mm f/5.2.
With the teleconverters I could carry less gear to have the range without not carrying what I hope will be a favorite lens (my 70-200 F/4L is my current fav). I'd also have more flexibility (as the tc's can be used on other lenses). OTOH: well, I'm just not sure which way I want to go. I am really excited by the Tamron.
