Sigma price Increase

A friend tried out my Sigma 100-300mm f/4 EX lens . I told him it ran just little over a $1000 dollars . He was going to sell a lens and get it.

I got an email from him telling me there must have been a price increase. It now list for $1,379.00. I checked he was right.

I checked Adorama, it was the same there.

That's a $300 + jump from not long ago.

Lens prices are getting a little nuts people !

It's great, my equipment has no depreciation value anymore.

I wrote down prices on about 15 lenses that ranged from 600-1,400 two months ago and
most of them have gone up from 10-15%. Canon,Sigma Tamron
