No dealer can send the lens from a kit separately. Body and lens are packed
together by Oly. In the case of the
E-PL1/14-150 kit I just got, the lens was not in a separate box in the large
one, but in a bubble wrap envelope nesting
in it's place the complex cardboard separator.
In my case, B&H didn't sent the 40-150, separately boxed and in stock, ahead
separately from the body/12-50 lens kit,
because there was a $100 discount for buying the kit and extra lens from them
together.
They sent the OM adapter and a lens hood immediately, then the kit and 40-150
are on their way here together.
I believe you could order a kit, then cancel if it doesn't ship by your drop
dead date?
Looks like we will be in the air on the same day, as I'll be flying to Canada
on the 23rd. :-)
Good luck!
Moose
