And how Gig and Meg became Gigs and Megs.....

Actually, gigs and Meg's is a shortening of giga... and mega... not a phonetic spelling or misspelling. Personally I have never found coupon spelled the way the responder spelled it.
Lense is simply a misspelling of lens. The reason for this all to common mistake is the plural spelling of lens is lenses and many people mistakenly spell the singular version by simply removing the s, which is incorrect.
My pet peeve is spelling Canon, Cannon, two entirely different things. How is it you never see Nikon spelled Nikkon. After all, Nikkor has the double K.
Anyway, as I said, lense is a common error and an error indeed.

Check with Greentoe on line. I have had good luck with them

Is this price too good to be true? Could the lense be a gray market item, and if so, is a gray market item of good quality?

Can anyone offer comments that could shed light on this scenario?

Thanks

Enough said about Abe's and their practices, but to clarify for you:

"Gray Market" means something is made by Canon, Nikon or whatever real brand, for sale outside the U.S., and is not covered by a U.S. warranty.
Gray market items are exactly the same as U.S.-intended items. Not inferior, counterfeit, or any other negative. Just lack of warranty/repair coverage.

Perhaps it is a typo?? But the D500 is far superior to the D7200. I have both. One is expeed 5 (the D500) and one is expeed 4 (the D7200).

The D7500 is also Expeed 5.

Could we have an Abe's of Maine category with an automatic link that directs immediately after the name is typed? What is this, the FOURTH question THIS WEEK???? For God's sake people learn to use the freaking SEARCH box.

So what??? Move on. If it was so stressful and caused you so much anguish why didn't you just move on?

Don't spend a dollar with Abe's. Grey market and stripped down is what they sell. You cannot get Nikon to repair Grey Market products. Buy from reliable sources like B&H.

Run as fast as you can from Abe's

There seem to be 2 mindsets here. B&H, Adorama and a few others seem to be hyped here ad nausea. OK, they are authorized dealers, good customer service etc. PLUS lotsa bucks. Then there are others, many others, that may sell gray market (so what?) for less. Not a few bucks less, but hundreds. I am not including ripoff schmucks like Abe's. Try ebay (sellers with good feedback), Roberts, KEH (if used is an option) and others, and quit worshiping at the altar of B&H !!!
