So I go to buy this lens and select it from the B&H web page to add it to my cart.

After reviewing my cart, I notice the price has increased $200 dollars from when I added it to my cart. Same thing happened at Adorama. That is unreal that the price went up when I added the item to my cart.

After saving and saving and now the price has gone up an extra $200 dollars.

Anyone know of any other camera shops that may have this cheaper? I am searching the web now, bit this really is frustrating!

Any other reputable dealers some have dealt with you can point me to? I believe there is one in/near Allentown, PA that is supposed to be competitive with both sites listed above.

Are they as reputable as B&H? The reseller ratings are okay, but I am worried about a grey market lens if I go with them. B&H will not price match them as they are not a recognized seller of sigma.

I am on the phone with B&H now and they went down to 1099.95 free shipping. So I am going to go with them.

They are tax free if you live outside of New Jersey and free shipping. I just bought a Sigma 10-20 from them and was very pleased. They also have a very good rating on Resellers.com.
