Interestingly, these lenses both dropped $500 shortly after the $500 rebate was announced for the 200 2 IS. These lenses were supposed to be secrets, though, at least until I either convinced myself I'd be better off with the money in my pocket or I'd decided to buy one.
Good luck in your search. Talk to Alan in the used dept. I called and asked about the V condition one. He stressed to me a few times that it was in "V which stands for victor" condition. The website says "very good" is what the V stands for. Check it out. I found Alan to be pretty helpful. If there is only one left tomorrow, I may have decided I needed one, too.
never mind! already updated on the adorama website. Do let me know how it looks when you get it! I highly considered it, but just couldn't pull the trigger.
