Maybe it's just me, but figuring out if certain equipment makes sense to
buy seems to be a lot more difficult today that it used to be. Local
dealers seem to be fewer and farther between. That could be part of the
problem. Options are more complex (you need an interpreter to tell you
what all the letters on lens descriptions mean). Photographic styles
seem to be more varied, meaning one person's photographic panacea may be
another person's boat anchor. Plus things are changing so rapidly. It's
a quagmire! Or like I said, perhaps things have always been this way and
it's just me. I'm very much a hands on buyer and I don't think there's a
dealer of consequential equipment within 200 miles of where I live now.

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.
