Circuit city blowing out 100mm 2.8 Macro - 01-20-2009, 08:07 PM


Just went to the katy mills store and got there last 100mm 2.8 macro for $318 ($344 with tax)

They didn't have any on display but i looked in the glass cases and found one hiding in the back, finally found somebody to take it out. Got them to open the box to look at the lens and it was brand spanking new so I said ring it up. I am glad I missed the canon rebates now I feel like I stole the lens at this price!

Fantastic find. That's even a better price than the rip off reseller rated 0.1 stores sell them for (if they even had one).

It reminds me of an Ikea commercial "start the car! start the car!"

If you found one hiding -- then there is probably an employee that's pissed at you right now... Stories that I heard from compUSA was that the employees would stash the good stuff in places that were hard to find, until they opened up the liquidation for the employees, then it would magically appear.

Great bargain you got none-the-less! Glad you found it!
