Shipping has been added to the pricing for B and H.....When you go into the store you will find the price a bit cheaper, not much...but enough to cover shipping. So 'free shipping' ...isn't really free shipping, for you pay for it in unit price.

Dec 18, 2013 08:43 | #64 So how long beofre either Sigma or Tamron come up with a 200-400 f4 OS/VC? The sigma 120-300 is good but not wide open at 420mm, Tamron could do it and make a killing. http://natureimmortal.blogspot.com

So for me, I save 7% when making a purchase from Adorama or B&H.In most states, theroretically they're supposed to pay them to their own state as "Use taxes", but of course almost nobody does.

Also pretty weak on the longer end, but super good on the shorter side. Would rather have it the other way around! I cant read MTF's, but if the 600 is better than the 300, then might be worth it, otherwise, I wouldn't bother. Umm, have you used a 70-300? lol Mitch

Got it for the 300mm, and it doesnt get really sharp, even stopped down. If I can stop it down to F8-F11 and get really sharp images, I'de be all for it, but it's clearly not in the league of the 24-70 or even 17-35, which are much sharper stopped down.
