Deal on Sigma 50 1.4 Art gone already?

[beckstoy]

It seems that I just wasn't quick enough to jump on that Adorama deal yesterday for the amazing Siggy 50. Can anyone tell me if it's gone for good?

If not, does anyone have any leads/tips/rumors about upcoming deals on this lens?


Thanks in advance!

I am pretty sure that between now and christmas there will be other deals.

I thought that deal was supposed to be active for a few days....

Send an Im to Helen oster and she probably can give you a better picture of whether the deal is still alive.

Missed it apparently. What was the deal?

Hundred bucks off, so 849... not bad.

You can order it from Canada and save more due to the exchange rate. There are typically lots of 1 day or even 4 hour deals this time of the year, you have to know what you want, have a price search setup, and jump when the price drops.

Hi all.

I don't know how this math works, but I live in Kazakhstan and we have a Sigma 35/1.4 for $830 and Sigma 50/1.4 Art for $830. Seller is grey market, but that's not a problem.
Typically you get the lowest price in US on almost everything, and I cannot get how do those dealers sell Art primes for $830 and having profit from that.

I believe they get stuff from Japan and get really sweet price from currency exchanges. This means there are even better prices for Sigmas somewhere.

Any ideas?

And, btw, this prices are 100% legal, my friend bought both of this from them, and really happy.
