Until today I had never really heard of them. For those of you with experience with them, is it a reliable brand? I was thinking about buying a few things including a sigma lens through them (apparently they're an authorized dealer).

What's your rationale for buying from them?

Cost. The lens is cheaper through them then directly through sigma, which should be the exact same regardless of where I buy it.

The other items I was considering through them were spare batteries and a grip (which seems identical to canon's)
