I ordered one shortly after they emailed me about the new stock. My order is still listed as "Processing", so I called them.
The response I got on the phone yesterday was that they definitely had some in stock, and that it was just taking them some time to process my order. Haven't charged my credit card yet. There's a big flap over at dpreview's forum. I'm beginning to suspect that it may be a couple weeks before I see mine, during which time I'll sit here wondering if I shouldn't have ordered the 31 limited instead. :( JP Anxious, but patient.. >-----Original Message----- >From: David Oswald [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] >Sent: Wednesday, March 23, 2005 6:21 PM >To: pentax-discuss@pdml.net >Subject: "On order" (Pentax SMC FA 35mm f/2) > >Yesterday I placed my order for the SMC Pentax-FA 35mm f/2 AL >within minutes of seeing mention on here that it was avalaible >at B&H.
