Hi Frantisek, this is Thomas from Germany. I bought my *ist-D here in Koblnez at TeKaDe, he had the best prices by a wide margin and does a great job in his service, too:
http://www.tekade.de *istD body - 1449,00 EUR *istD with FAJ 18-35 mm - 1749,00 EUR *istD bundle with smc-DA 4.0/16-45 - 1899,00 EUR BG-1 battery-grip for *istD - 129,00 EUR P.S.: May I please ask you a question off-list, I've got a problem understanding a Czech website ;-) All the best, Thomas > > Hi, > I am thinking of waiting until May before getting a DSLR.
