Got this lens, that sometimes is offered for sale here on POTN for around $400, is sold for $439 at Unique Photo http://store.uniquepho​to.com …hsm-for-canon-300101.html (external link) with free shipping. I got it, was very pleased with the service - the first one was soft, it took just a day to exchange for a good copy, and they paid for shipping both way.

WTF!? The 30 I got from them had TONS of dust inside the lens and had HORRIBLE front focusing issues. They refused to reimburse me for shipping and took about a week to get my exchange lens back. I will NEVER order anything from them ever again.

Not to mention that they never replied to my inquire about the 30 before I ordered it (that was well over 2-3 weeks ago), yet they can reply to me complaining that there was dust in the lens?

Glad to hear that you had a good experience with them. I've bought over $10k worth of stuff from them, and they've been awesome. I personally will never buy another Sigma product in my life, but am glad to see that you're happy with it.

I sniped it for 389 in December. Keep your eyes out. Unique has random cheap prices at times
