Sigma ART 50 Shipments - Have you received your confirmation

[Terrierist]

Just checked my order on B&H order and the status has changed to "in stock - order sent to warehouse" tracking number pending.

Well, I ordered around 7:00am on the 11th, and there is still no change in the status on mine. Obviously it was a very small shipment relative to the pre-orders. Hopefully more will be along soon.

Well…. I ended up canceling my order……………….. Because I called a local dealer (Pitman Photo in Miami), and they had received 1 on allocation.. Rushed down to pick up during lunch, and I now have what is probably one of the first Art 50s in So. Florida. Love the build quality, and the focusing is reasonably quick…. Stopped on the way back to work and took some pot shots - will post a little later when I get a chance…. For now here she is mated to my 6D.

Congrats. I'm anxious to know whether it is a special lens... I certainly hope so.

Wow, nice catch. I did the exact same thing and found a local shop that had received one copy! I'll be out of town as of tomorrow and B&H wouldn't have been able to get me the lens in time so I'm pretty stoked!

I ordered my lens from B&H on 4/11 at ~7am EST and it's scheduled to arrive tomorrow (Friday). I am definitely looking forward to seeing the UPS truck tomorrow

Most places show it shipping late April. Are we late enough in April yet ?

Hah. I'm excited as well. I preordered really late (Just this week) so I'm not getting my hopes up on getting one from the first batch of shipments.

Depends...what year did they say? ;D

Ordered 4/12 and still in pending. Looking forward to this so much. I have been waiting for a 50 and i am hoping this will be it.

 

[e-d0uble]

My B&H order is still pending. I ordered at 4/11 16:10 EST. The suspense is somewhat killing me.

 

[aalbert]

Check locally for an allocation shipment… as far as the lens…. I really like it so far.

Has anyone heard any updates ? It seems too quiet for a new release ;-)

Agreed, where are all the "I just received my new 50mm ART" comments. There are couple. Wonder when they will start to really ship.

I got mine on May 7th. I bought it n the shop and did not pre-order it. It was the only copy they had. Other shops in the Netherlands seem to get it only by the end of May.

my twitch got so bad I called Sigma today to find out that they plan on sending a batch sometime (still vague) next week to B&H. trying really hard to manage my expectations for a two-week in hand delivery from Sigma to B&H to my doorstep.

Thanks for taking the time to call. We are all excited.

Has anyone heard anything from Amazon pre-orders? I ordered mine on April 18th but have not heard anything.

 

[Cgdillan]

I want my 50Art!!!! Where is it =(

 

[Cgdillan]

I just called as well. They said 1 to 2 weeks...

Update for B&H customers:

Called both Sigma and B&H today- Sigma said B&H will be receiving a shipment today (5/21) however (long story short) from what B&H told me, if you ordered after April 29th, your lens will not be shipped out from the new batch that arrived today, but rather the next shipment. No word on when that will be. They are still fulfilling back orders from those who placed orders before April 29th.. WTF arghh! SIGMA, my patience is seething! ok rant over.

So from what I gathered on your post, if you ordered before April 29th, you're likely to receive the lens soon?
