Sigma 150-600 Sports $1699, Contemporary $899, 50mm Art $799


Our street price on the Sigma 150-600mm f/5-6.3 DG OS HSM Sports has now been lowered to $1699. This is the lowest price seen yet for this lens. The “Sports” version of this lens features a much more rugged build quality and a slightly better optical formula, vs. the “Contemporary” lens.

We also now have the Sigma 150-600mm f/5-6.3 DG OS HSM Contemporary back in-stock for $899 SOLD OUT. There is limited quality at this price, and this will likely sell out.

Finally, our street price on the Sigma Art 50mm f/1.4 DG HSM has returned. It’s $799 for this very popular lens. Compare with $949 at other authorized dealers.

All street prices are brand new from Sigma USA authorized dealers, and come with free shipping and the 4-year Sigma USA warranty.

Live Again: Tamron 150-600mm f/5-6.3 VC for $779 AR BuyDig eBay


This hot deal is back for a third time: authorized Tamron dealer BuyDig via eBay has the Tamron SP 150-600mm f/5-6.3 Di VC USD for Canon for $779.00, after a $70 Tamron mail-in rebate. This is brand new with a 6-year Tamron USA warranty and free shipping. Both Canon and Nikon mounts are available.

Both time this lens was featured, it has sold out in a day! This is still the lowest price we’ve seen yet for this super-telephoto zoom lens. This lens used to be extremely popular even at its introductory $1069 price point. After the Sigma 150-600 Contemporary was released, this lens fell out of favor, but for only $779 it is most definitely worth it.



Street Price: EF 35mm f/1.4L II for $1675 from Authorized Dealer


We now have a street price available on the EF 35mm f/1.4L II. It is $1675 from a Canon authorized dealer, with free shipping. This represents a $125 discount on this very recently announced lens. Quantities are limited.

This lens was recently announced and features a new “BR Optics” feature that reduces chromatic aberration and an incredible MTF chart vs the old version. This continues their impressive trend of world-class lens redesigns — although they seem to come with a rather large price tag. The old version can be had for $1329, and a very popular Sigma Art for $779.
