Sigma 150–600mm F5–6.3 Contemporary DG OS HSM Lens

So when's this happening?

tlmotorsport... Understand your rationale for buying a "new lens" at a somewhat used price but this just feeds the beast in my opinion.. People have ignored all the warnings we've been trying to put out there and that post on the Canon site in the link above goes to show that what we've been saying bears out. Today MD launch FOUR Sigma drops.. maybe they're clearing inventory because the house of cards is coming down. Enjoy the lens... Like I mentioned I have the Sports version and it is great!!!!

I totally agree that the prices they have offered some (but not all) of these lenses at are very good, even without the warranty. As I said to you initially, your logic made sense and I understand your position. However, they reassured us that it would have a warranty, despite our attempts to explain to them how the warranty actually works and why they won't be able to offer a US warranty. It's telling that no one from Massdrop has responded yet, either here or on the other thread where the customer posted about his experience. He posted this morning, so they had a full business day to look into it, or at least say that they were looking into it and needed more time. Massdrop has now failed to deliver on what @B.Hutch promised, which was "I have already stated what Massdrop will deliver. A guaranteed warranty with Sigma. If you choose not to believe that then that is up to you." I for one am not surprised, and hope they do right by their customers who have participated in these drops. The way I see it, Massdrop has three options: 1) do nothing, fail to honor their promise, and let customers suffer 2) provide a valid receipt from their authorized dealer to potentially get the warranty to be valid, although now that the manufacturer is aware of what is going on they now might not accept the receipt 3) reimburse individual customers that need repairs for their costs for the length of the warranty period In my eyes, Massdrop has done significant damage to their reputation with these USA warranty drops. They refused to listen or adequately respond to customers with valid concerns. We will have to see how they respond now... It's unfortunate because I really like the style and audiophile communities on Massdrop. But the only photography products that can work with their model are grey market. USA warranty products won't work because the manufacturers have fool-proof policies in place to protect their dealers.
