That would be great, except that I'm in Canada, so I lose more on shipping
(rather, duty) than you'd think. Otherwise I'd definitely be tempted by
something like that. Heck, they're all available locally, now that I think
of it (there's a rather overpriced 180/2.8 around here) but I'd end up
rather more out of pocket than I'd like in the interim period -- and I doubt
the local shops have the same try-before-you-buy attitude that some folks
around here do, sadly.
Still, it's definitely a nice idea -- once Xmas has been and gone and I
have no other immediate drains on cashflow, I'm very tempted..
