Has anyone used these guys?? They're listing the Canon 28 to 105 for $789.00 with a one year USA warranty. Is this gray market?

L series?

If so Amazon has it listed at just over $1,000. Since good glass very rarely goes on "sale", I would say "Too good to be true".

If it's not the L series, but the f/4 - 5.6 at just under $400.

A quick google search for buyherephoto.com reveals not such wonderful reviews.

there are many and i mean many scam websites out there. save yourself a lot of trouble and pain and agravation. do what the pros do, shop at adaroma.com, b+hphoto.com, for new gear. THEY HAVE EXCELLANT REPUTATIONS. you will pay a FAIR price, not a dirt cheap fell out of the back of a truck into the trunk of a caddy owned by jimmy the weazel kinda price. photography like golf is not a cheap hobby especially for new equipment. save money buy used get better equipment at lower prices go to KEH.com. free shipping on orders over $100 this weekend. not an employee just a very happy customer. i would also add resellerratings.com to your favorites. every time someone has posted about companies ive never heard of, if checked on resellerratings they turn out to be scam artists 100% of the time.

There are dealers and then there are stealers.

I only deal with B&H. Love 'em. Very knowledgable people. If your not in the state of NY, there is no tax. Most hi-end stuff, like the "L" glass includes free shipping. You have 15 days, if you don't like something they take it back with a full refund(you pay shipping). They have a "Bill Me Later" program. After a 30 sec. credit check, they send you the lens and you have 6 months to pay it off with no interest. This is very handy with "L" glass prices. They don't always push you towards the more expensive stuff. I wanted the 100mm 2.8 macro, they said there was no need for the "L" version ($450 more), that the non-"L" was an amzing lens. They were right!!! I've been dealing with them for 8 years, have nothing negative to say!!

Do not buy from them. They are a bait and switch company.

You order something and they call to check your security code and try to badger you to buy a more expensive product. The BBB rates them a solid FFF.

It was a canon. Approx. $525, worth every penny. Also doubles as a great portrait lens, so it's not a one trick pony. Far enough away not to be in someones face, and with the 2.8, awesome bokeh!
