The coupon drops the price, but you also get 4% promotional rewards, a Sigma Lens USB Dock, and the Sigma AML72-01 Close-Up Lens. This is available in the Canon, Nikon and Sigma SLR mounts. This is part of the B&H Optic conference promotions, it should end by 6/8/16.

You also get a free Sigma USB Lens Dock, and 10% promotional rewards, which, considering the price of the lens is a pretty decent amount to use on future B&H Photo purchases.
PS: the Sigma SLR version is a Special Order item so it will take longer to arrive, and only gets 4% promotional rewards instead of 10%.
As of 5/16/16 recheck, the price jumped to $370 for the Sigma 17-50mm f2.8 EX DC OS HSM lens…

We have a trio of lens discounts from B&H Photo. All three are limited time offers that end on 5/10/16 at 11:59pm eastern, so you have plenty of time to research them, but not eternity 🙂

For more action, check their latest Mother’s Day Specials good until 5/8/16 (some require coupon code MOMDAY16).
It will be very awkward in the future to have to call a 20 year old lens a “Contemporary” lens. Perhaps Sigma marketing did not zoom far enough in the future when naming these 😉
Improv aside (please only throw organic and biodynamic tomatoes at me), the Sigma 18-300mm f3.5-6.3 DC Macro HSM Contemporary lens goes for $500 at B&H Photo and it comes with 4% promotional rewards (around $20), along with a free Sigma AML72-01 Close-Up Lens and a free Sigma USB Dock including automatically by B&H while this promotion is running (it shows the free items on the individual product pages). Offer ends 5/8/16.
This is available in a stabilized version for the Canon and Nikon and Shiguma SLR mounts, and non-stabilized for the Sony A and Pentax K SLR mounts.
PS: the (C/N/A/P/Si) or similar patterns you see in the post titles are (shockingly perhaps) not the cat typing or me trying to make an obscurely obscure joke. They are abbreviations for the various camera mounts:
+ C = Canon
+ N = Nikon
+ A = Sony Alpha A-mount fka Minolta fka Dyxum fka Maxxum
+ P = Pentax K-mount
+ Si = Sigma SA SLR mount
+ E = Sony E-mount
+ m43 = Micro Four Thirds
+ X = Fuji X mount
+ M = Leica M
+ PL = PL mount
+ CX = Nikon CX 1-System 1-Mistake
+ Q = Pentax Q ~ Star Trek’s Q made them do it
+ 645 = 645
If camera-gear announcements were done like post-game sports interviews, Sigma executives would be teary-eyed saying “we proved the naysayers wrong, they said it couldn’t be done, but we did it! I would like to thank my team mates and coaches…”…
… which brings us to the Sigma 50-100mm f1.8 DC HSM Art Lens, now in-stock and ready to ship at its starting price of $1100 from B&H Photo in the Canon EF mount and Nikon F mount.
The f2.8 party continues with the Sigma 24-70mm f2.8 EX Aspherical IF EX DG HSM dropping to $699 with free shipping and $28~ promotional rewards at Adorama in your choice of Canon, Nikon, Sony Alpha, Vanilla, Strawberry, and Sigma SA. Click on the mount tabs below “More Product Options”.
If you are a frequent Adorama shopper, or you do not object to make more future purchases there, and you are interested in the Sigma 70-300mm f4-5.6 APO DG Macro lens in the Canon mount, they have a nice Lens Gift Card bundle, you get the lens and a $25 Adorama Gift Certificate for $149 with free shipping and $6~ promotional rewards… This too is featured in their latest 48 hour sale.

The name “Contemporary” sounds reasonable now in Sigma’s line-up since it was only recently launched, but twenty years from now, all these lenses will still be called “Contemporary” even though they won’t be so 🙂 Regardless…
… the Sigma 18-300mm F3.5-6.3 DC Macro OS HSM Contemporary lens is available bundled with the Sigma AML72-01 close-up lens and the Sigma USB Dock and $20 promotional rewards, all together for $499 with free shipping at Adorama in the Canon, Nikon, Sony Alpha, Pentax, and Sigma SLR mounts.
Alternately, you can opt for the bundles that include the Sigma AML72-01 close-up lens, but trade the Sigma USB Dock and 4% rewards for a bundle of lens accessories (72mm Digital Essentials Filter Kit, lens pouch, tether, and cleaning kit).
Page down on the Adorama search results until you find the mount and combo of interest.
If you have Canon EF lenses or Sigma SA lenses and you would like to use them on your Sony E-mount camera bodies, Sigma has a new mount converter adapter, the MC-11 available for pre-order for $249 each at B&H Photo with a mid-April release estimate.
The Sigma 150-600mm f5-6.3 DG OS HSM Sports Lens comes bearing gifts at B&H Photo. You pay $1800 with free shipping and for that you receive the lens (obviously) along with 10% rewards (= $180 to be used in future B&H purchases) along with the Sigma 105mm WR UV Filter and the Sigma USB Dock. This is available in the Canon, Nikon and Shiguma SLR mounts.
PS: “Shiguma” harkens back to the computer-translated digitalcamera.jp days, when Sigma was computer-translated to Shiguma.
It is nice to see some creative product bundling. If you happen to want both the Sigma 18-35mm f1.8 DC and the Sigma 50-100mm DC HSM ART lenses, along with the Sigma USB Dock, you can get all three bundled together for $1800 with free shipping at B&H Photo in the Canon, Nikon and Sigma SLR mounts.

If of all the accessories you only need the Sigma AML72-01 Close-Up Lens and you instead prefer promotional rewards to use on future purchases, you can get it for $500 with 4% promotional rewards (around $20) at B&H Photo.

I forgot to include this one in the Sigma block below, so here it comes on its own.

This critter is available for pre-order for $249 for either Sigma Canon EF Mount Lenses or Sigma SA Mount Lenses.
