It's now a "preorder" from an un-named dealer (not Cameta) and the price is $5819. And since we know the actual "estimated selling price" from Nikon is $5900, how can they post that "list" is $6640? Amazon also claims that this is the 74th best selling product in electronics. Really? A $6000 lens that isn't available is the 74th best selling product? Are sales of electronics at Amazon that bad?

And on that note, "Deals" is getting stale. No big hurry, but since those sections hotlink to purchase points, it probably better for your commissions if they are known as reliable. :-) ADMIN–

Also, the price is $5,299.95. Is this Adorama's mistake to label it "II"? Or is the new version actually a "III"???
