Ugh, online chat was quite useless. They have to "research" the issue and get back to me. I'd just return and re-buy, if they would re-issue me a 10% rewards coupon I used on this purchase. Only reason I bought from them was the rewards I had to use on something there.

I'll try going into the store and sorting it out tomorrow. Now, I'll probably be out the $12 I paid for next day shipping and won't be able to use my 10% coupon again to re-purchase it (which means I'm not buying it there). Sigh...

Trust me, return the 24-70mm and get it off Fred Miranda instead. Fred Miranda is full of people trying to sell mint copies for $1850ish.

I wouldn't go that close with a 15-35 if I had to shoot portrait!

So, I pretty much decided I wanted the 24-70

+1 Good choice. I figured you pretty much meant casual/candid portraits instead of classic portraits.

One interesting side effect of this greatly improved autofocus is that folks are selecting faster lenses more regularly, beyond just the need of assistance with exposure in low light. These cameras are changing the way we shoot.

and ordered it from BestBuy for delivery today. Excitedly waiting for it all day. Finally FedEx delivered it. Opened the package, and, drum roll.... the sent me the 15-35 by mistake!!! Definitely ordered the 24-70. LOL, maybe a sign? Now I gotta deal with this headache, was really looking forward to playing with lens today.

I think if you press hard, that BB will make things right with you.  They’ve always been very accommodating with me.

Best of luck!

ps. Hey you might be able to get off a few test shots with that lens, as compensation!

Well, going into the store, they were able to resolve it quite quickly. Took wrong lens back, and express shipping me a new lens I should have by Tuesday. They were super apologetic and surprised this happened, and also commented they were surprised I wasn't angrier. Eh, humans make mistakes, I just wanted them to make it right and they did.

Fingers crossed when I open that box Tuesday it will have the 24-70 in it, Or, at worst the 28-70 f2, lol
