edit: $1100 is past tense. Now it's $1250 something...

I think, the price drop indicates that they are coming...
but without an IS, I won't worry about it...

Ever hear of end of the year?

In worst case hope the lens won't lose much value. at 1100 it's a bargain even after factoring in the shipping, taxes, handling fees, security charges, and conversion fees (yeah the shipping to canada).
BTW looks like the party is over, the prices are back up again.

Shipping and HST. Oh and maybe $3 brokerage. BH deals are the best in Canada now they are linked with Purolater for shipping. I can't say enough good stuff about BH.

I cannot explain how happy when B&H introduced purolator shipping. No drive downs to border or courries ripping off with their brokerage fees.

Get a flu shot and consider it a money-saving move.

Before I bought it today I checked the buy/sell forum and I didn't see any under $1100 going back 3 months so yea, pretty good deal.

An hour or so....

Bh offered to credit me for the change as well as replace the lenses I feel aren't up to snuff, so big credit to them for saving me some hassle.

One of the two lenses from amazon shipped already though.
