Hi folks, recently I asked for feedback and experiences regarding ordering at BHPhotovideo. The immediate positive response convinced me and I placed my order.
Well, within one week, today, I received the lens, well packed and in a flawless state. I attached it and it seems to work fine. I yet have to do some extensive field-testing, but up to now everything worked to my delight.
So, another pleased and happy customer of B&H!

Now I have to figure why these lens-design engineers placed these strange knobs on that lens. And hey wait, the autofocus does not work... :mad: :wink:

Good to hear all went well with the order through B&H, Dietrich. I've never had a bad order through them, except one UPS mishap that had nothing to do with B&H. :cool:

The strange knobs are just for looks, I'm sure.... :biggrin:

It's always nice to hear about positive experiences. Glad it worked well for you!

Congrats. From what I know of your work, I think you'll really enjoy the lens. After shooting large format for a couple of years now, I wouldn't be without movements for the majority of my shots. Enjoy, I look forward to what you produce.

how was it at the customs? (I assume you live in Austria that is in Europe).

Thanks for your comments!
Prashant, yes I live in Austria and I had to pay some 211Euros (~130$) on top of the total price. A bit painful, but amazingly this is still less expensive than buying in europe.
