Well as many of you may know i recently purchased a canon EOS 40D slr, along with 17-85mm lens.
I was looking localy for the MPE 65mm macro lens that canon sells ( UNBELIEVABLE LENS) and found it for 1350 $ . Without thinking i ordered it from the shop, as well as the 24EX dual flash, which was another 1070$ . AFter thinking twice about my order, i went online and started to find this equipment much cheaper. I gotta tell you guys, do not buy without checking the net. I had to call the camera store i ordered and cancel my order, cause of how much cheaper i had found it online.
I want to put this link up here for anyone thinking of buying camera equipment, as these guys are unreal in their service.

They are located in new york, i called them up on the phone which was nice, many of the online retailers of camera equipment do not have contact phone numbers. I asked if they had the mpe 65mm and they said it was on order and would be in tomorrow. This was two days ago>
So i ordered one up for 820us $. about a 600$ savings before tax. I also ordered the flash which came to 650$ , which was another 400$ savings before tax. A total of 1000$ saved.
I called today just to see if the lens had come in, as Mark on the phone mentioned it would be in today> Well i got mark again and he tells me not only is it in, but he has sent my order out already>
I gotta tell you i was blown away. When ordering things online i think sometimes we fear the worst situation and never expect the best. Not only did these guys save me a ton of cash, they are quick and efficient to> So i wanted to share with all of you who are thinking of getting any new equipement, check these guys out, they ship worldwide, and are ON THE BALL.
Thanks 17photo.
Peace
