Any Sigma discounters out there?

Who carry the 20mm f/1.8 lens? Everywhere I look they're $629 which is a lot more than they used to be. I've looked on eBay and the various FS boards and haven't seen anything worth jumping on.

Not since last March. Look at this: http://www.canonpricew​atch.com …F-RF-for-Canon-price.html

Yeah, I watch that and it's $629 everywhere. I need it to pair with my 28mm version for copy work. Now I'm kicking myself for not buying one when they were $549.

Me too.

If you wait long enough abes of maine puts out a sale every now and then on sigma lenses. usually 10% off or 8% off, plus the loyalty10 coupon (another $10 off) that is how i got my 50mm f/1.4 and a 17-50mm when i had my 60D.

some people have complained about a sales pitch phone call from them after their purchase (offering useless accessories) i purchased 2x from them and never received such a phone call... i did use google checkout, which may or may not have something to do with it

The last time I bought from them they refused to ship until they were able to do the phone sales pitch. I'd overlook that for this lens but the problem is as far as I can tell they don't carry the 20/24/28mm f/1.8 primes for some reason.

Looks like there is a 5 finger discount in Vegas for Sigma.

I saw that on the 180mm OS macro. Wonder how that was pulled off? Had to be a group using the distraction method.

$599 right now!

Huh, didn't know Sigma had a direct outlet and guess what I found there for $469!

$799 for the 150-500, I'd get it but only in Nikon mount right now.

Keep an eye on it. Apparently they don't have many of any type of lens. As soon as I purchased the 20mm it was gone from the Canon mount page. That was a real stroke of luck since I didn't see any other f/1.8 primes for any mount.

All the better it's not available right now, need to save up for the 5D3.

whoa, never knew that either, thanks for the link! will have to keep an eye on it, it looks like very good prices on the few things that are in stock

I guess the Nikon folks are harder on their gear... when I serch for Refrub.'d Sigma "Nikon" format I get all kinds of stuff... for Canon? virtually nothing...
