Hi!
Well, I finally did it. Today Adorama confirmed that my *ist D and16-45/4 are on the way. :-) I just couldn't wait to tell someone. I've already downloaded the new firmware to install once it arrives. Now if I can just stand the anticipation until it arrives. And figureout something to cover the focal distance range I've been using the FA* 200/2.8 for.
Congrats. Boris
