Anyway, no time to spare on this one. If my link doesn't work for you, type UniquePhoto.com into your browser, find the lens, and buy it before they run out of stock. Affiliate credit be damned .
Link still doesn't work for me with Chrome. No issue with Safari though. Strange; I think all the other Affiliate links do work...

$569 is about the best deal anyone's gotten in a long time until today, if that's any comfort to you.
Well, that is indeed comforting. Thanks.

I had one on order from J&R (J&R: Audio, Video, Cameras, Computers, Cellular, Home Office, Housewares, J&R Jr., Games, Music, Movies, Musical Instruments .) and canceled my order yesterday because Unique showed having the lens in stock. J&R is 539 and Unique is 529. Both have free shipping.

I called Adorama today and provided those two links (J&R and Unique Photo. I requested a price match. My lens (that I purchased for $569 only two days ago from Adorama) just shipped yesterday and hasn't arrived yet. I'll let you all know the result after they've made a decision.

Has anyone here actually TALKED to Unique about whether these are really in stock? I went to their website and saw that they showed the BLN-1 batteries for the EM5 in stock. I quickly ordered a couple only to find out today that they're in the middle of a huge website update and everything is showing "in stock" whether it actually is or not. They also temporarily lost a huge number of orders, including mine, which I'd paid via PayPal - a bit of a hassle trying to get a refund. They don't have these batteries any more than anyone else does. I don't know if this is true of the lenses also, but I'd call them and actually talk to someone rather than buy on the web just because the lens is listed as in-stock. Maybe see if they'll still give MU-43 their referral on it if they DO have them, but I wouldn't bet a whole lot they actually physically have the lenses in stock....

The UniquePhoto website now shows the lens as not in stock.

I'm local and headed to the store with a list of stuff I wanted which are marked as "in-stock". They just recently updated their website and many items that are listed as In stock are actually NOT. Their website has a lot of issues apparently.

I recommend calling first and don't rely on their website.

Kind of embarrassing that I sent the link to Adorama for a price match. But the J&R price link that I also sent is still less than I paid at Adorama, so maybe they'll match the $538.88 price at J&R.

Turns out that by the time Adorama checked, neither of these sites had the lens in stock, so they refused to price match.
