Welcome to the Camera Dome :)
Sigma revealed two new ART series Prime lenses but they are not available for pre-ordering yet. However, B&H Photo has created a introductory pages for them with all their currently available details. They are:
+ Sigma 105mm f/1.4 DG HSM Art for Canon, Nikon, Sony A and E systems, and Sigma SA
+ Sigma 70mm f/2.8 DG Macro Art for Canon, Nikon, Sony E (not A) and Sigma
These too have been added to the New Lenses of 2018 page. We definitely had a lot more lenses than cameras so far in 2018 🙂
Prime time of the f1.4 kind! The new condition Sigma 85mm f1.4 DG HSM ART prime lens is now getting a free USB Sigma Dock at Adorama while still selling for $999 with free expedited shipping in the Canon, Nikon and Sigma DSLR systems.
Sigma revealed their all new Sigma 14-24mm f2.8 DG HSM ART zoom lens in early February for the Canon, Nikon and Sigma SLR systems but they did not reveal a price. Now the lens is available for pre-ordering and for that you have to reveal a price, and the price was not a sticker shock (compared to Canon and Nikon f2.8 pro zooms), $1300 and available for pre-ordering at Adorama and B&H Photo. There is no specific release date yet.
Over 100 Sigma lenses are participating among the latest B&H WPPI promotions, including a couple of f1.4 primes as follows:

+ Sigma 85mm f1.4 DG Art for $999 in Canon, Nikon and Sigma DSLR systems

More B&H WPPI action coupon code BHWPPI18 gets you additional savings on over 100 Sigma lenses. There are too many to list here individually, but the aforelinked page has them nicely organized.
If you are a fan of The Way of the Egg, NewEGG has launched another 72 hour sale. As usual, some of the offers may require a promo code (it will tell you on the page), and most of the time you’ll have to give them an email address in order to use the promo code. Which is kinda goofy since you need an email address to create an account and buy things, but what do I know? 🙂
They feature the usual assortment of computer accessories, hardware, software and so forth AND one lens, the new condition imported grey-market Sigma 17-50mm f/2.8 EX DC OS HSM FLD in the Canon EF option for $280 with free shipping, sold by RedTag Camera through NewEgg (ships directly from RedTag Camera). This particular sale ends on Saturday night. Of interest especially if you have NewEgg promotional gift cards waiting to get spent (they only last one year from the time they are issued; not to be confused with regular gift cards which don’t expire).
In new condition at authorized Shiguma dealers, this lens goes for $369, eg Adorama with free lens-y accessories.
The new condition Sigma 70-300mm f/4-5.6 DG Macro lens is on sale for $129 with free shipping at Adorama along with $5~ in promotional rewards in the Sony A system and Pentax K system and Nikon F system (DLM, AF-D). This is the non-APO version of the lens. The APO is not on sale and it is obviously more expensive.
It looks like the Sigma is not on sale, while the Canon is sold out…
When the Amazon Price Bots play their game of thrones, you win sometimes because Amazon’s own price drops to match some of the 3rd-party sellers. Such is the case at the moment for the new condition Sigma 135mm f1.8 ART lens. You can get it for $1097 with free shipping in the Nikon F system and $1140 in the Canon EF system. These links point to Amazon’s own listing. Other 3rd-party sellers offer them there for less, but they don’t look like authorized dealers or recognizable names.
Limit three of each per customer. As this is a random Price Bot price-match, the price can change at any point in time. Amazon’s price bots work in mysterious ways 🙂
Happy New Year to the various cascading time zones as we slowly enter 2018 around the world!

The Sigma ART lens sale is back on again with a variety of Sigma ART DSLR lenses participating. You can find them nicely organized at Adorama, sorted by mount: Canon EF, Nikon F, Sony A, Sigma SA, Pentax K, and a couple of Sigma lenses to Sony E mount lens converters too. There are too many to list here individually at the moment.
The new condition Sigma 105mm f2.8 EX DG HSM OS Macro lens is on sale for $569 with free shipping and 4% promotional rewards ($28~ to be used in the future) at B&H Photo in the Canon, Nikon, Sony A, and Sigma systems.
If you prefer free lens-y accessories instead of 4% promotional rewards, you can get them as such at Adorama where they are backordered, but you can still order them if you want to lock the price.
More new lenses are now in-stock and ready to ship at B&H Photo, let’s round them all together for a 2-for-1 in blog post savings 🙂

+ the other two are still in pre-order status: TS-E 90mm f/2.8L Macro Tilt-Shift and TS-E 50mm f/2.8L Macro Tilt-Shift. Each going for $2199. A used Honda Civic gets you all three 🙂
The new condition Sigma 135mm f/1.8 DG HSM Art Lens is bundled with the Sigma USB Dock for $1199 with free expedited shipping until Monday at 11:59pm ET at B&H Photo in your choice of Nikon or Canon systems.
Sigma has a Foveon DSLR deal even! The price of the SD1 body only remains $1800, but they have dropped the price of the SD1 with 18-200mm f3.5-6.3 II DC OS HSM to $2000, so for $200 more you are getting a stabilized zoom with it. This is a special order so they won’t ship immediately at both Adorama and B&H Photo.
Sigma is back with a Black Friday Lens Sale featuring 92 products in this promotion nicely organized at B&H Photo. Almost all of them are lenses, along with a couple of flashes and converters/adapters. They are available in Canon, Nikon, Pentax, Sigma and Sony A. You can use the options on the left hand side over there to filter by these and more.
Speaking of B&H Photo, they have a massive Apple sale featuring laptops, iPads, Mac Minis, and more. Click on “Load More” at the bottom of the page to see more.
A total of 46 Sigma ART DSLR lenses are participating in their Black Friday instant savings, you can find them all organized at B&H Photo as part of their many and more Featured Sales. I will try to break down the lenses later today, but there’s so much to post and not enough time!
UPDATE: you can also find the Sigma ART DSLR Lens Sale at Adorama, broken down by mount, in Canon, Nikon, Sony A, Sigma, Pentax K, and mount converters (Sigma lenses to Sony E cameras).
The Sony a6500 dropped to $1200 body only or $1300 with the 16-50mm as part of this week’s Instant Savings madness.
BUT IF you want to buy the Sony a6500 with 16-50mm kit and a prime lens too, more specifically the Sigma 30mm F1.4 DC DN (E-mount of course), you get them together as a bundle for $1469 at BuyDIG.com. Just add to cart and proceed to checkout. No coupons, no rebates.
The Sigma 30mm F1.4 DC DN lens on its own goes for $339 with freebies at Adorama or with 4% rewards at B&H Photo.
So with the BuyDIG bundle, you are adding the 30/1.4 lens for $170 more, half off its on-its-own price.
The previous Lens Instant Savings post got crowded, so now we have a Part II with some of the other lens manufacturers!
+ Pentax K-Lenses: 42 options including 24-70/2.8 SDM for $1100, 70-200/2.8 AW for $1600, 100/2.8 WR Macro for $500, etc

+ Samyang Lenses (various systems): 49 options with a mix of photography-priority and video-priority lenses
+ Rokinon Lenses (various systems): 92 options with a mix of photography-priority and video-priority lenses including Sony E-system autofocus lenses
+ CORRECTED: an “option swith” is “options with” with the “s” at the wrong place 🙂
More on these later on, as, unfortunately, I am not IBM’s Watson and I cannot “digest” hundreds of lenses (over 500 of them in these two posts) on the fly. Not to mention that glass causes indigestion. Mayhaps I’ll start with the plastic lenses first 🙂
The Sigma dp1 Quattro Digital Camera on its own goes for $1000, but at the moment B&H Photo is including the LVF-01 Viewfinder Kit for FREE, in other words, you pay the same price of $999. Note that these are “Special Orders” so it will take 7-14 business days for them to get to you.
We have a series of refurbished Sigma lenses offered at Adorama. We start with the refurbished 120-400mm f4.5-5.6 DG APO OS HSM AF for the Sony Alpha DSLR system going for $339 with free shipping and warranty. As the OS hints at, this is an optically stabilized lens.
From a $100 prime we go to a $2280, the manufacturer refurbished Sigma 300mm f/2.8 EX DG APO Lens in the Sony Alpha DSLR mount is offered at this price with free shipping and warranty at Adorama.
In new condition, this lens goes for $3400 in the mounts it is currently offered on.
The Sony Alpha DSLR version of the Sigma 50mm f2.8 EX DG Macro lens is currently available in refurbished condition at Adorama for $105 with free shipping and a warranty.
One of the few optically stabilized Sigma lenses for the Pentax K system is the Sigma 70-300mm f4-5.6 DG OS, and this lens is offered manufacturer refurbished with a 90-day warranty for $189 with free shipping at Adorama.
You are paying a premium for the OS (optical stabilization). If you don’t want/need OS, the new condition non-OS 70-300mm f4-5.6 DG Macro goes for $169 with $7~ promotional rewards at Adorama.
Pentaxian time now, the manufacturer refurbished Sigma 28mm f/1.8 EX DG Macro for Pentax is available for $170 with free shipping and a 1-year warranty at Adorama directly and also by Adorama on eBay (if you have eBay Bucks, Gift Cards and such to spend). The eBay listing says there are three units available.

The Dream of the 90s is alive, not just in Portland, but also in stabilized tele-macro lenses! The new condition Sigma 105mm F2.8 EX DG OS HSM MACRO lens is on sale for $569 with 4% promotional rewards (around $23~ to be spent in future purchases) at B&H Photo in the Canon, Nikon and Sigma SLR systems.
If you prefer free lens-y accessories instead of 4% promotional rewards, Adorama is offering instead a Tiffen 62mm Filter Kit, lens cap tether and cleaning kit.
I’m trapped at the bottom of the Warehouse Deals Bargain Bin and that’s where I run into something Shiguma!
The Sigma EF-610 DG ST electronic flash for Pentax cameras is available in “USED – Very Good” condition (various cosmetic imperfections; damaged original packaging) going for $65~ with free shipping sold by Amazon Warehouse Deals itself. Only the Pentax version is available there.
It’s Shiguma time! Tamron may have announced an upcoming 100-400mm lens, but you can’t take pictures with a future lens. You can take pictures with an existing lens, which brings us to the new condition Sigma 100-400mm f/5-6.3 DG OS HSM Contemporary Lens bundled for FREE with the Sigma USB Lens Dock and a 67mm Sigma WR UV lens filter, all together going for $799 with free expedited shipping at B&H Photo in your choice of Canon, Nikon or Sigma SLR systems.
