In all the years I lived in the Boston area about 20 minutes from
Melrose I never found a reason to buy anything of significance from
Hunts since I could always get it cheaper at B&H. Hunt's web site
(right now) says the E-3 is $1699.99 which is about the same as B&H.
But they don't list any 18-180 either alone or in a package. Possibly
they have one lens they want to sell off in a package deal. Might even
be a demo. But if you're concerned about a typo just give them a call
and ask and also ask if there's more than one.
