Best price for Sigma lens

[ry4503]

Where are the shops that I can buy high-end Sigma lens (> $1,000) at the best price?

Thanks.

TCW at Peninsular Shopping has starting selling the higher end Sigma too, when previously they were considering Sigma has not worthy to sell even in 2nd hand. Also, Sigma has recently been moving up in the quality ladder.

Try www.deltainternational.com. Excellent prices and super nice people. Bought a new Sigma 180 HSM macro for $465(amazing lens BTW) and a Gitzo 2220 tripod for $187 from them. Check out their feedback on nikonians.org and photo.net. Hope this helps.

Don't mind me asking, which country of origin is this mail order shop? Is the lens bought warrantied locally? Thks!

delta international is an american based company and one of the official distributors for Sigma products in the states. All sigma lenses are covered by an international warrantry (none of that grey market bullsh*t)

prices at that US site looks good.

i got an e-quote from AP for a 80-400 OS, $2280 before GST.. mind boggling... more expensive than i expected.

deltainternational quotes it at US$1043

wonder how much more for freight and whether it's worth the risk

I buy my lenses from parisilk in Holland Village. Yes, I know it been dissed in Clubsnap before but I got my D70 for $1680 and have always been happy with their service. They are pretty up front about their prices - they aren't out to rip people off, just to sell fast and cheap.

I will be contacting them this lunchtime to compare their price of Sigma 180mm Macro with the price from that website.

Yes, Parisilk. The last time I have been to this store is something like 10 years ago! So, there is another store to go to apart from CP, Alan, MS Colour and TCW. I heard that their ink cartridge is also cheaper. I should drop by to check it out.
