sigma 50-500 where to buy?

[Geoff F]

After looking at the 3 companies which I use most; Clifton Cameras is the best buy.

I have found them to be totally reliable. When I bought my Sigma 150-500 from them (something else for you to consider) they accidentally sent a £2000 Nikon camera instead. But after I phoned them everything was corrected with no problems.

Martins Camera shop has them for £870, I bought my Canon EF-S 10-22 from them and can't fault it or their service.

Having checked around a few other prices, I found a company called 47th Street Photo which ships from USA and will supply for £850 delivered. They have a 99% rating on Amazon so look legitimate but I have never used them.

Most UK outlets are over £1000 for this lens.

It's worth trying secondhand from somewhere like Ffordes, Mifsuds or Camtech.

I recently bought a secondhand Nikon 17-55mm f2.8 lens from Ffordes, and was very impressed with their service. I got it for just over half of what I'd have paid for it new, and had a 10 day trial to see if I liked it or not.

Good luck with the Bigma shopping! I love mine!

Any others?

Thanks for the excellent suggestions.

Have a look at Amazon that is where I found 47th street. I also tried Jessops and ABC Digital but they were over the 1,000 which I considered is a tad expensive.
