Best Place to Buy Sigma 120-300mm?

[AussieD40X]

Hi all,

Have been looking on ebay regarding buying the above lens (Nikon fit) and I've seen a couple of shops (DZone2, TDimension) selling these for quite cheap - just under 1k.

I was wondering if anyone has had any experience with these ebay companies and if so was there any extra tax/VAT slapped on top at purchase or upon customs clearance? or could anyone recommend the best place to get this lens from?

Many thanks,
Ian

I got mine (as did explora56 I think) from Digital Rev on ebay. On certain of their auctions they offer VAT refund - this is usually worth going for. Some of the other ones do this too I think.

I would recommend Digital Rev and URgalaxy, used them both now.

Same here .... Nobody over here can match them for price.

Ah thanks guys, URgalaxy seems to have the better price and the no VAT bonus which is awesome. Hopefully get this for thursday

I had a bit of trouble with URGalaxy once - a lens was stopped in customs, and it was suggested that I passed a document to customs confirming the lens was something it wasn't (repaired rather than new). This I refused to do (which they were a little tetchy about), but they sorted things out from their end.

Digitalrev I can only say have been superb. No problems that were not rapidly and courteously resolved, and all in all a very pleasant experience.
