Are you sure they do not ship to Singapore? I bought from them end of 2013 through their evilbay store.
Why don't you go for lens covers by Rolan (China)? Much better in my opinion.

Check your inbox bro.
BTW, Orient photo brings in some Rolan stuff, especially the leg protectors and shoulder pad. I am not sure if they bring in the lens covers, but you can definitely ask them to order in for you.
They do not ship two Singapore. Two emails confirmed that. They are ok with shipping to a forwarder.
I checked with OP and specifically asked about this Rolan for the contemporary version, they do not have it.
Can I have your contact please to find out mores, especially one for the contemporary version?

I guess they stopped shipping to sg recently. My birding friends in vietnam used to buy from them too off ebay. Just checked their ebay store, looks like they are not selling much on ebay now. Btw, their ebay pricing was lower than their website.
Just checked with Rolan, at the.moment they only have the covers for tamron 156 and sigma 156 sports. but i am very sure they will release the contemporary version soon.
Another option is to check Dpowers online yahoo store. They are a huge retail store in taiwan (taipei and kaoshiung) and they cater to the birding community over there.
You can pm me here. I am currently based in china.

You can try this one http://www.lenscoat.com/index.php
I bought my sigma 156 sport camouflage lens coat from them and they do provide free shipping to SG.
Lenscoat is distributed by and available in Cathay Photo locally. Pricing is quite similar to their online prices actually. I had used neoprene covers before, but now prefer the feel and design of the Taiwanese/Chinese versions of the lens covers.
http://www.lenscoat.com/lenscoat®-sigma-150600mm-f563-contemporary-p-2410.html It's on pre-sale. One or two days ago it was still not on sale.
Look like lenscoat is your best option now. The rest of the options do not seem to stock 156C version yet.
My USB dock arrived in the mail today.
C1
OS: Dynamic View Mode
AF speed: Speed
C2
OS: Dynamic View Mode
AF speed: Focus
and Off is standard for both AF and dynamic view mode
Just tested it (my time is now 9:31pm) by using the autofocus on some busses under the streetlamp out of the window. Focus was set to 2.8m then half pressing the shutter button. On C1 the AF is blazing fast. On C2 it is slower, and in Off the AF speed is similar to C2. Using the Canon 700D ungripped
No other changes were done using the dock such as focus setting or focus limiter. I will test again tomorrow during the day, but in such low light condition, C1 is impressive for such low light condition. C1 speed reminds me of when I tested the lens in the shop. Very excited to see it in the field in the day.
I was hand holding it, and on both C1 and C2 the viewfinder is not as jerky as on Off custom function

Hi
I have the Nikon C version recently but only used once so far. I did not encounter any AF issues or notice anything out of the ordinary on that single outing.
Do you mind posting the thread you read on other forums/sites here so i can read more?
A KF pic below with that lens on a D7100.
Thx
Halus_20150530_4035.jpgHad the opportunity to finally test the below settings for a Rugby match: https://www.flickr.com/photos/luqmanhaqim/sets/72157654381901505
Used Case 3 on Zone AF centre block using Custom function C1 with OS off.
I think the AF success rate is like, 85%. Focus is really really fast with this lens/camera combo.
Photos/composition wise: it's my first time shooting with this body, lens and sport so I am still learning.

Heads up to all, thanks to a tip-off from jerryl lenscoat is having a free shipping promo, even to Singapore.
Hi all,
Currently contemplating whether to buy the sports version or not. I currently own the AFS 80-400 VR 2, I liked the lightweight telephoto.
However, the 600mm sounds great with my D7100. Any Nikon users who have owned these 2 lenses before? mind sharing your input? Is the sigma sharper or on par with the Nikkor? Thank you!
P.S. i don't mind the weight. Handheld the AFS 300 non VR before in the past.
