You might be able to buy from an online store and like Amazon and use their credit card to make payments, or just put it on your credit card and pay it off but I don't know if I've ever heard of layaway on lenses. Maybe check with Ritz?

How many people can drop 500-1K on a new lens? Not many.
How many people can drop $15-50 a month on a lens? You get the point.

Not really. Laying away means you still don't get the actual product in your hands until its paid for. Right? Sooo it'll take the same amount of time to pay off as it would to save that money up and pay for it then and there. You will still be having to wait the same amount of time to get the actual item in your hands. My name's Michael btw. Just sayin.

Another benefit for going Michael's route is if you put something on layaway that generally locks the price in, so by the time you pay it off the product may be selling for much cheaper new, used or refurbed somewhere else. If you save up the money in a separate savings account or hell even in a shoe box under your bed you may end up getting it sooner and for a better price. The only way I see a benefit is if you work out a payment plan where you get the item now and make payments while being able to use it. Aside from that being possible i say go with Michaels route.
