Anyone buy from www.sigma4less.com

They seem to have pretty good prices for SIGMA lenses as well as some Canon ones too...

www.sigma4less.com

Just curious if they are legit and what kind of experiences people may have had with them. (ie. Shipping, Returns, Customer Service... ) Thinking of maybe ordering through them soon...

Thanks!

Don't bother. They're grey market lenses and Sigma US won't warrant them.

If you're debating between them and B&H, go with B&H. B&H offers cheaper shipping, and they were able to PM Sigma4Less for me.

If B&H price matches Sigma4Less, I would definitely go through B&H instead... Did you have to call them to price match or do they have an online submission?

Thanks!

I called them, and they did it without any problems.

Can you keep us updated whether B&H PMs Sigma4less?

There's no duty on lenses.

I'm hearing good and bad things them. They have a great selection of lenses on their sight though. Even some that B&H don't carry so I wouldn't be able to price match them there... Hmm....

I've ordered from them twice. Both times, shipped USPS and I paid for taxes only.
Mark.

Most photographic equipment is duty free, when imported from most countries, including the States. This means you pay no duty! This includes most products such as SLR and point-and-shoot cameras and lenses. For other goods, check out the Canadian Border Services Website. You can also check out our list of Duties on Photography Equipment.

I normally use B&H for my supplies but I used Sigma4Less several months ago for a Sigma 70mm SA mount (for my SD14) because I couldn't find it anywhere else. I bought a 7-year Mack warranty which was dirt cheap to go along with it to cover any warranty issues down the road.

Sigma4Less was good, I had no problems with them at all...

Bumping the thread because I'm looking for a normal 2.8 zoom, and they seem to have better prices that anywhere else for more than just a couple of lenses.

Any other/new feedback on these guys lately?

They are fine, I used them again about two weeks ago for a lens.

What are you scared of?
