#MADISON PHOTO PLUS HOW TO#

Your photographs, After all, will become part of your legacy, From finding the right tools (camera, lenses, etc.) for YOU, teaching YOU how to use them for as long as you own them, to caring about how your photos flatter your subjects as well as you as a photographer, we work for YOU. We strive to make your photos look better and last longer than you thought possible. But it's typically much easier to get newly released Nikon (and many other brand) products from other sources.More Madison PhotoPlus has served as Madison's photographic authority since 1947. This is no criticism of B&H they have such long waiting lists because so many customers prefer them. If you think you may be playing the game of trying to get newly released Nikon gear again in the future, then building a relationship with a good local store is by far the best way to maximize your chances of getting items soon after release - at least in the U.S. Even so, I'd be surprised if B&H can't supply the lens to you in, say, the next 6 months. Pick one of those other sources and you'll likely have a lens in relatively short order. As others have pointed out, B&H's waiting list is often a lot longer than almost any other retailer, whether it's Nikon's own online store or any other authorized Nikon dealer. If your deadline is late this year, it seems clear that you'll easily be able to get the lens in time. i mean while it's not exactly kosher (nor illegal) you could buy and then return if you're trip is 15 days or less, but you might lose 15% in the end.

Otherwise you'll probably have to buy it. I don't know if they do this, but I'm sure if you pre-pay for the rental, they might.

Maybe see if you can get put on a waitlist for rental with someone like. Well, it looks like with you might be able to rent one if you can get an order in soon.? Right now they say out of stuck but supposedly it's available to rental there. On the other hand, I ordered my Z9 from them on October 28, and it arrived Feb 12, for an almost 4 month wait. So, for this lens at least, my wait time was only 18 days. A few hours later, I went back to the site to actually purchase it, but it was already sold.įortuitously, though, I got an email from the Nikon Store late yesterday - my order is now being processed for fulfillment, because they have the 100-400 in stock. I saw the in-stock lens, and *almost* pulled the trigger on it. Well, I ordered my 100-400 Z from Nikon USA on (Feb 6), and oddly enough, yesterday I was looking at Madison Photo. There are plenty of options and B&H-while a perfectly reasonable option-will probably not be the fastest. If you want it fast, either order direct or find some other authorized dealer. And B&H has just now caught up where they are in-stock. Still, indicates a small or nonexistent queue at those retailers. I remember seeing some available in stock at other retailers by September-October, though they would get snatched up. The other person's estimate is early March (5 months later)Īnother one: the 105 macro.

I ordered it mid-November (several weeks later) direct through Nikon.

This person ordered it on Nov 1 through B&H.

Here is a data point for you, regarding the 24-120. I have no experience with Nikon on how long a backordered product takes to get through their system and was wondering if there were insights on when the backorder would flush through. What's the relative situation between what Nikon keeps and then gives to others. You will be well ahead of the waitlist on BH because hundreds, if not thousands are trying to save on the tax by using a financing method that has a 29% interest rate on average. What other alternatives would you consider? Does anyone have insights into their production ability and when Nikon might catch up? I would prefer the tax savings, but I really want to have this lens for an Africa trip late in the year.

I called BH because 19 days after applying for the PayBoo I finally had it in hand and needed to update my order. They told me that they are getting 'small quantities' in but couldn't tell me where in line I might be?
