Yeah, I noticed Canoga is pretty much the only reputable place that has NOT increased their prices since May 1st.

It is a great store -- my first and usually my last on-line stop when in the market for new gear.

I bought my 17-55 2.8 IS there and they were great. Recommend them for sure.

Problem is that they are in CA and so the cost of the lens for folks from CA is the same as B&H

They likely had it in stock prior to the price change.

So if I purchased a Canon 16-35L II or a Canon 85L II and I had a bad copy and wanted an exchange I wouldn't lose any money minus shipping?
Thanks

Only ones that will charge shipping only on a return is B&H, Roberts Camera and Beach but not always.
Paying extra can pay off when you consider 10% min anyway.

You forgot Adorama, and many others I am sure, that allow 14 day returns of full price less shipping.
