Hi POTNers,
I am using 40D + 50D and shooting with Tamron 17-50 non-VC, Canon 100 Macro non-IS & Canon 70-200 IS f/2.8.

I want to add the Sigma 30mm f/1.4 now and soon upgrade the Tamron with Sigma 17-50 OS. I have no plan to go away from crop bodies for awhile so I am comfortable with this new adding and upgrade. The only problem is that I am having a tough time paying full price without any type of coupon, promotion, discount, etc..... b/c I see plp get good deal all the time :D.

I've been looking around B&H, Adorama, Amazon & 47stphoto so if you know of a respectable place that could save me some $$$, please help.

As of today, everywhere I go the price is $489 for the Sigma 30mm and $669 for the Sigma 17-50mm OS.

Your help is greatly appreciated!!!
Kevin

I paid that much for the Sigma 17-50mm OS a few months back, It's a great lens.. Havnt seen it lower anywhere else I would feel comfortable buying from. (or with a discount/rebate)

been looking around for a deal on Sigma 17-50mm, but haven't seen any deals on it lately. I guess buying one through Ebay with some cashback + ebay bucks in one of the best options at the moment.

Abes of Maine has it for $489. Put it in your cart, and get NKDS25 code by default to get $25 off, then add Loyalty15 to get $15 more off (-$40 which leaves you with $449). You missed the one a few weeks back that was $50 off.

For a 85mm, add code NKDS50 for $35 off.


And yes, I got mine there.


If you can read this, you don't need a macro | 7D + 5DIII + Waaaay too much spent....
