Have been watching this lens a while and noticed it has dropped to £299 on Amazon.

Sigma has a £75 cashback available on this on purchase made until 31 January 2016. So this would make the lens an all in price of £224. A tipping point for me. Cashback claims need to be in by March.

It is same price for Nikon fit but not Sony & Pentax fit.

Anyone care to comment on experiece of this lens?

As a DC lens it is for crop sensor body.

Was just about to post this deal but you've beaten me to it. Can't comment on the lens but gets good reviews.
I'm very tempted but not really convinced I can justify it, bought myself a few too many presents recently!

Am much the same as I have recently renewed my main kit. The problem is a good friend of mine has this very lens on his Nikon and, (forgive me fellow Canon users) it felt good and produced some really nice pictures . I tested it against the EF40 and 50 (both STM) and my EF-S 60mm macro. All good enough but the 30mm ART (albeit on a Nikon) was sharper and, at f/8, markedly so.

So with a ready 'free' market for my older kit (grand children) I must sit on my wallet. Though as I am now fully retired this may be my last upgrade.....

Apparently, Sigma aren't paying cashback on Amazon UK purchases at the moment as Sigma have said the Amazon have been purchasing their stock from Sigma Europe so technically a grey import - from a point of view of the cashback anyway.

Well both Park and WEX are matching and highlighting the Sigma Cashback.

Both with p&p included so still a big temptation.

I recently purchased a couple of Olympus lenses direct from Amazon UK, both came with a Spanish importer label and Spanish warranty card. I didn't want to risk the cashback claims so sent them back.

I got my EOS750D through Amazon and registered for the £100 cashback. Got the email from Canon yesterday which confirmed all was good ans I would be receiving the money within 28 days.

I think Amazon should advise customers if they are sourcing their European based warehouses to fulfill orders.

Unlike other retailers, Amazon do not advertise cashbacks when I have used t.hem.
