I got burned in a different way. I have the mark 1 version of the Canon 400mm DO lens. The mark 2 came out, to rave reviews, I wanted one, got a little toasted one night and said "screw it, I'm gonna get one". It's $6700 lens.
I clicked around and found one cheaper, it was $6500 so I got that one.
Imagine my joy (jk) when I open it up and found that Amazon/Adorama thought it was OK to sell me the mark 1 version of lens for $200 less than the much better mark 2. That's nuts, the mark 1 lens was selling used for about $4000 before the mark 2 came out, when the mark 2 came out, the used value of the mark 1 dropped to about $2000.
So it's pretty lame of Amazon/Adorama to put the old lens up there for $200 less when it should have been $3000-$4000 less. And pretty stupid of me to not notice the version.
I had to threaten Adorama with a media campaign before they took the lens back. Left a sour taste in my mouth and I buy all my stuff from B&H now.
