I can get a 550ex and the 50-500mm sigma EX HSM lens for about 1 grand, which is the cheapest i've been able to find.

Anyone done buisness with them before?

WOW, this is a GREAT PRICE. I have only seen these prices with AAA Camera. I am going to seriously look into both these sites to see if I can get the 120-300 Sigma for $1650, which is $300 less than any where else. Keep me posted if you get anything from them. Thanks :lol:

Well no,. you won't get that price,. you'll fill in the blancks in the web order from, and send the CC info and feel all warm inside blessed with a great low price,...

Then they will call you tomorrow,,. and explain a lot of reasosn why you can't actually get the price,.

they will tell you the versions ewith the low price are made in Taiwan and have palstic mounts,.

Then they will try to sell you the "Japanese made versions" wiht full USA warranties at a price similar to what everyone else charges,. BUT they WON"T have USA warranties,. they will arrive with only Sigma's 1 year International warranty... and some of the product you ordered and paid for will not even be shipped,. (but it will say it was shipped on the packing order) the best part is that when you call to say there was a mistake and product X wasn't in the box,. they will treat you very nicely and say that it was a mistake and it will be shipped promptly, but they never will...

And the last thing you will want to do is send anything BACK to this type of dealer,. as then they hold all the cards,. IE: you CC and your merchandise..

When you see to good to be true it usually is,.

I've been buying from www.digitalfotoclub.com and had good pricing and service SO FAR. They have been consistently below price of Adorama and B&H and delivered on time and as promised. I just made my 2nd order today for about $1000 in gear, based on my original experience. Hope nothing changes - fingers crossed. (example - a 50-500 Sigma is about $940 at Adorama and only $785 at digital - the loser sites from resellers and/or ebay are only about $40-50 under that, but just read the posts above and be sure to see resellerratings.com)
