i got my sigma 24-70 F/2.8 from microglobe,as it was the only place i could source one in this country(sony fit).after not being able to source one,i posted on here if anyone could point me in the direction of a supplier,to which i was pointed in the direction of microglobe by marc(fabs),as he'd recently got his from them.i rang them up to check on availability,to which they said they had some in stock...picked one up from them a few days later.marc had a problem with his recently,so sent it to sigma for repair under warranty,to be then told by sigma that it wasn't a UK lens,so not under sigma UK warranty.he then contacted microglobe who then contacted sigma to arrange,and pay for the repair themselves,which is what microglobe do apparently...just to add that neither myself or fabs knew that microglobe sold grey imports at the time of purchase,and that full VAT etc..was paid at time of purchase.
