Hi Gene,

Loyalty to your local shop is a great thing, but it might be time to  
change. My local dealer is not very large but he has just about  
everything in stock except for the still current AIS lenses and the  
new 24-70mm zoom. He has in stock the super teles as well as the  
200-400mm zoom, 200/2.0 tele and the lenses you mention. Funny thing,  
he has a hard time keeping the 18-200 zoom in stock.

Look around. Good luck.
Len
