So, im in a pickle!

I am leaving for a month long trip to europe in a few weeks.

I currently have the kit 18-55 lens and a 55-200 vr lens for my Nikon d40.

I have been searching EVERYWHERE for the new 35mm 1.8G DX but every place is sold out! People on eBay are selling them, but for $250 and up! they retail for $200.

If i dont wind up getting the 35mm prime, i was going to replace my two CURRENT lenses with the 18-200 VR and sell the two i have to help recover my funds....this would also allow me to ditch my camera backpack and just bring this one lens along....

OR

totally forget about a new lens and just buy a flash, such as the sb-600 or equivalent of third party that is less expensive...

any suggestions/opions/knowledge on where i can actually get the 35mm prime without waiting for "shipment to come in"?? thanks!
 
Have you called B&H or Adorama? They are very good about letting you know when shipments are comming in and will ship to you as soon as it does. There may be a boat in route and you can get your lens in time. They are 2 of the stores I would trust if they said they will be here in 2 weeks time.

If not I would get a flash. The 18-200VR is a nice walk around do all lens. But its still slow. You get inside and your going to want a big flash.
 
The 18-200 may be slow and crap and full of other things that makes me just want to hurl it off a cliff, but that said out of all of my lenses it's the only one that I took to Europe. The perfect vacation lens.
 
Is it out of stock here?
