    www.adorama.com

    www.bhphotovideo.com

    Those two seem to be the most reputable. I've never really bought from adorama, but I hear they have some of the best prices but can get pushy with sales by sending emails asking you to call about your order and then pushing extra accessories. Like I said though, that's just something I've heard word of mouth.

    Otherwise I got my newest lense from www.ritz.com. It was the nikon 18-200mm VR that has been on back order for like the last 2 years (or whenever it came out) and they got it to me at msrp in like a month whereas most other places were either outright not even trying to sell it or they were price gouging.

    Yeah, I've bought from KEH years ago, (Canon T-90 :) ) They were pretty good. They had a lot of used equipment too and I thought their ratings on the used equipement was very fair.

    KEH is great. Picked up my 70-200vr for $1400 shipped.

    Bummpy, what did you get your 18-200 for??

    I paid $750 for it, where most people are chargine $800+ or don't even offer it for sale.

    Ritz online said it was out of stock too, but would ship once in stock. It took about 3 weeks, but I got it.

    It's an awsome lense by the way.

    Im keeping my eye out for a good 300mm lens or 200mm, a really good flash. I found a sony flash at NCE for 450. Good range something like 96 feet. Perfect for some of the shooting I do. and a few other goodies ;)

    Should mention Craigslist too. I picked up a 100-400 AF for $700. Retail is almost double that.
