p.1 #1 · Sigma 300-800mm Prices?

Guys........

I wonder if you can help, do you happen to know how much these lenses go for here on FM, I know they are rare................It's just that I have two friends here in the UK who have paid a non refundable deposit on 2 new ones! One is a Canon mount the other a Nikon, the Canon guy is going to buy the Canon 800mm F5.6L [ lucky git

] & Tony [Nikon guy] is going to scale down in length & get a 600mm VR..............anyway guys can anyone tell me what these are worth in the USA? As i say they are new, I will be in Arizona on the 2nd March & could bring them with me, yes they are large I know but that's the joy of working at BA

I see they are $7k at Amazon & a few other places.

Oh yes, they are both the DG versions

And yes the guys are crap at making decisions

I think I saw one listed just under $5000 recently either here or at POTN.

A few months ago HongKong, I saw a few displayed at the shops. So if you are passing by that place, have a good look around.

Why sell them in the US? The exchange rate between euros/pounds vs dollars makes it very difficult to get their money's worth. You should be getting a better price for the lenses in Europe - and no tax problems, either.

Are they getting them at a good price? have they paid a large deposit. They may be better off just walking away from the deal before they have to pay the full price.

I guess that the way the exchange rate is its probably a better time to try and export them but europe may be the better place.

I dont doubt that they will sell them but it may take a few attempts and the risk of looseing alot is high.

Definitely sell them in Europe! Less hassle, and with the exchange rate, they might get a good deal overall.

I wouldn't have caught that if you hadn't mentioned it. Prices have changed a lot in the past year, and his friends probably sold the lenses already.
