Canon EF 75-300mm f/4-5.6 III for $100 or Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS $149

Can anyone that has successfully got their order thru, post a screen shot so that we could try PMing at Best Buy?

That's not true..it's a decent lens if on a tight budget and at the $100. price, it's a deal. Two of my favorite lens review sites for this (and others) lens:

There's another SD running now on the Sigma 70-300mm f/4-5.6 DG APO lens for $149. and a much better better lens (I have it).

Regarding IS (image stabilization): while it's nice to have in certain situations, if one braces or uses a tripod/monopod you will get clear, crisp shots. I have captured sharp images hand held at full length with the Sigma, but it takes a steady hand and no wind.

I've thought pretty heavily about that Sigma deal running now. Do you know much about the Macro capability of it vs say...a 60mm prime macro.

Do you know of any inexpensive comparable super zooms for a 5D? Cause the 55-250 won't work.

Ordered yesterday and today shows "shipped from warehouse" with tracking number

What time did you order? Did you order the bundle or just a lens?

I still see the status of mine as "researching".

I ordered around 4:45 PM pacific, just the 55-250 for $150
