Anyone tried Cameta Camera for Pentax?

[longko]

Any bro/sis here tried getting stuff from Cameta Camera? They are selling the Sigma 24-60mm f2.8 at a great price. Tempted to get, but dunno if they are gd. Most positive review seems to be from US/CAD, so wanna know if anyone tried

US$200 for a f2.8 seems like a gret price to me

If it's from Amazon, that should be okay. Since you are making payment to Amazon, if anything happens, you sure be able to get your money back

Why another F2.8 zoomy? Thought you've got a Tamron 17-50/2.8 already. 50 vs 60 no much difference lah

Thanks^^ It's value for money I think the Sigma 24-60mm has better bokeh like the Tamron 28-75mm. I need something with more bokeh than 17-50mm can give me. Ideally 28mm to >100mm f2.8 AF lens. But dun think there's such a lens for pentax.

Tamron used to have a 28-105 f2.8 and older 35-105 f2.8 for Canon and Nikon only. User review ranged from bad to very good.

Think the cloest still available on sigma4less is Sigma 28-105mm f2.8-f4. But most likely will need step down a bit to get acceptable sharpness on K20D >.<

For those interested will need order urself cos if combine shipping it'll be more than S$400 need to pay GST.

Shipping to US vpost is abt US$13, then from US vpost to Singapore about S$25 bah UOB CC get 12% off. So everything should be less than S$350. Problem is since it's vpost it's gonna take abt 2weeks for everything >.<

If you really want a 2.8 zoom lens w/ good bokeh, I think the FA*2870 or Tamron 2875/2.8 is your best option. These two are far better than the Sigma ones

Fengwei,

Is FA* 2870 still in production? Where to get one? How much?

It's not in production, but there are plenty of them on second hand market. Price is between 1kUSD to 1.5kUSD depends on condition and your luck

Tamron 28-75 f2.8 was in my consideration but end up got the Tamron 17-50mm f2.8 instead^^; Tamron 28-75mm price aren't that appealing to me, I'll rather top up and wait for 70-200mm f2.8

Think I may skip Sigma 24-60mm unless my missy wants it But to those who'd yet get a f2.8. Do consider, it's a gd deal^^

Need to do vpost which will take abt 2 weeks to arrive lol But this lens is so cheap compared to all other f2.8 options out there. I mean a kit new cost abt US$90, this is like US$200
