Well just as a hunch I called the local Best Buy store seeing if they have this lens or would be getting it in soon and it has been deleted from their inventory as a whole and not just select locations. I had looked online to see if any of the area stores had one before my local camera store got their shipment in next week and nothing from Buffalo south to Pittsburgh and east past the the Finger Lakes Region in NY.
I'm waiting but found this of some interest to pass along if anyone was thinking about picking one of these up soon.
