I'm liking this lens. To bad you have to wait for one. Looks impressive. I'm thinking maybe Santa may have one.
Does this monster come with a case like my Bigma? The adds don't mention one. If not what are you all using?
Ordered one on Wednesday picked it up on Thursday. Have to get a case and filters which are expensive. Berger Bros in Syosset, NY- the best. Call them if you want one.
No Case, i keep mine in my Camera back pack

The good news is... I spoke with a fellow at Tamron yesterday and was told that a shipment went to dealers earlier this week and that larger and larger quantities, for Nikon, are coming! As I am next on the list, I'm hopeful. I'd be surprised if the lists at the big guys will be finishers, but don't hesitate to contact your smaller local dealer. I can't wait!
Yes, this is the case that I believe will accomodate a smaller metal hood being left on the lens in operating position and capping the hood - which is what I recommend ....

I found the bad boy at a place in Illinois called ABT- I ordered it last Friday 8/29 and they shipped it out on Tuesday 9/2- the guy in the big brown truck delivered it late today, a mere week after I ordered it. Their ad says 2-4 weeks wait time, so I'm thrilled that mine came in only a week!! Psyched to try it out in the morning!!
I have to assume that the local shops aren't selling them at B&H prices.

All that I spoke to were at the $ 1069 price. YMMV.

Does ABT offer a USA warranty? I don't see it on their site.
Thanks

6 year Tamron Warranty.......ABT has a number you can call to talk with their camera/lens guy to discuss questions.
I'll give them a call. I may call B & H to see if they have a clue on my shipping date first.
Thanks for the info!
