Call them if you don't find anything locally. DO NOT ORDER ONLINE. Call them to order. They would probably overnight a lens to you.

I've broken two 50 f/1.8 (they magically flew out of my hands or camera bag). Won't be buying another one!

Well, if you'd ordered from Adorama Thursday, requested that it be shipped by way of Hong Kong and not travel by any method other than canoe and donkey, it might have taken until Saturday to show up.

I've put in orders Wednesday evening and had them show up Friday morning. I'm pretty sure they keep a spare UPS guy tied up in the basement in case of late orders.
