Yes yes, everywhere price matches. I think my biggest problem is that I'm not used to making such huge purchases. I'm okay with paying 2k for a camera and 1k for a lense but I just can't get over having to pay $400 of TAX!!! I will have to suck it up though...nothing else I can do about it.


I was actually considering the 24-105mm 4L, but I really like larger apertures, they do more for me than a f/4.0 would. I also don't think I need an L lense...which leads me to wonder why in the WORLD my 17-55 costs so much and its not even an L lense!!! I think i was offered 1099 on the 24-105 -_____--;;
