This lens is at the top of my wish list, but this deal isn't good enough to get me to bite. This lens is available at Adorama with a free accessory bundle for $799.

So on Massdrop you could save $50, but have to wait weeks for the shipment, and no US warranty on the lens. Or on Adorama you would pay $50 more, but have it in two days, with full warranty, and bunch of accessories thrown in.
According to CamelCamelCamel this lens was $599 on Amazon a few years back, with more recent dips to $699. https://camelcamelcamel.com/Fujinon-XF18-135mmF3-5-5-6-LM-OIS-WR/product/B00KZHOYSW
I'm going to pass for now and hope a better deal comes along.

SitwonThanks for all the good info. I don't think we will see dips that low again anytime soon. That's when Fuji was really trying to push into the market but now the demand is certainly there for their lenses. Fuji used to run discounts every couple months and now you can even tell they have been spacing them out more and more

n0meh9That's very true. While this lens is at the top of my lens wish list, I don't have an immediate need, so I feel like I have the luxury of waiting to see if a better deal comes a long. Even if I knew I would need it a month from now, I would probably opt for the Adorama deal over this one, given the full US warranty and accessories.
While this isn't a bad deal, it's just not quite good enough to tip the scales for me.

SitwonI recommend buying used. You'll still find these at $550 or even less.
