Hot: Sigma 105mm f/2.8 EX DG OS Macro for $586 at Amazon


Amazon has the Sigma 105mm F2.8 EX DG OS Macro for Canon for $586.55. This is the absolute lowest price we’ve ever seen for this optically-stabilized lens (from an authorized Sigma dealer).

This price drop is on top of a roughly $100 instant-savings that Sigma is running — most other stores have this lens for $669 which is already a pretty good price. As with all Amazon deals, this price is below the Minimum Advertised Price and is likely only seen for a few hours.

UPDATE: This is now sold out. However, Amazon is still taking back-orders at this price and will ship the lens when they get more stock.

For comparison, the Canon EF 100mm f/2.8L IS USM Macro is currently $1035 (having been as low as $720 during the holiday deals).

This is a new printer rebate promotion that started on January 1st, and you are eligible for it even if you did a printer purchase in Q4 of 2013.
