This Prime day promotion expired with three of the four mounts effectively selling out before expiration…
F2.8 zooms have a special place in photography, which is why there are APS-C versions as well. Which brings us to the Sigma 17mm-50mm f2.8 EX DC OS HSM, on sale for $399 with free shipping and $12~ promotional rewards at Adorama in the Canon, Nikon, Sony Alpha, Pentax K, and Sigma SA SLR mounts. The Sony and Pentax are not OS. This is part of the Adorama 4th of July specials.

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.
Coupon Prime action continues at B&H Photo, the same coupon, coupon code BHOPTIC16 entered over there gets you the Sigma 105mm f2.8 EX DG OS HSM Macro SLR lens for $570 with free expedited shipping.

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.
Expiring tonight (11:59pm ET on 3/31/16), the Sigma 150-600mm f5-6.3 DG OS HSM Sports Lens is bundled with the Sigma 105mm WR UV filter and the Sigma USB Dock along with 10% promotional rewards ($180 to be used on future purchases) for $1800 with free shipping in the Canon, Nikon and Shiguma SLR mounts at B&H Photo.
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.

This is available in the Canon, Nikon, Sigma, Pentax and Sony Alpha SLR mounts. The Pentax and Sony are not OS. You can switch between the different mount options at Adorama using the “More Buying Options” box below the green “Add to Cart” button. Annotated screenshot of that below:
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.

Back on the eBay Deals wagon where we find BuyDig’s eBay store offering the new condition Sigma 18-250mm f3.5-6.3 DC OS HSM lens on sale for $219 with free shipping, with a limit of five per customer. This is only available in the Canon SLR mount. The others (N/A/P) are showing as out of stock.
I forgot to include this one in the Sigma block below, so here it comes on its own. If you have Sony E-mount cameras, and also Canon or Sigma SLR lenses, this new Sigma MC-11 E-mount converter allows you to mount Sigma Global Vision lenses (Canon EF or Sigma SA) to Sony E-mount camera bodies. This critter is available for pre-order for $249 for either Sigma Canon EF Mount Lenses or Sigma SA Mount Lenses.
They said (some of the experts in the forums) many years ago that it couldn’t be done, but f1.8 constant aperture zooms are raining left and right these days 🙂 Adding to the rain count is Shiguma [that’s the computer-translated name for Sigma] with their brand new 50-100mm f1.8 DC HSM ART lens (75-150mm eq), available for price-order for the constant wallet-open price of $1100 as follows:
+ Canon mount: Adorama and B&H Photo
It’s not just Mobile World Congress in Barcelona [Travel Tip: do not wear Real Madrid t-shirts while in Barcelona!], there’s also the Japanese CP Plus happening at this time of the year [see Trade Show Calendar] and with it it brings lots of new camera gear.
We start with Shiguma, they have a new “mirrorless” DN prime lens, it is part of the Contemporary series, it is the 30mm f1.4 DC DN with a pre-order price of $339 and available in the following options:
There’s Sporty Spice, and then there’s Sporty Sigma. Part of their relatively recent Sports lens line-up, the Sigma 150-600mm f5-6.3 DG OS HSM Sports Lens goes for $1800 with 10% in promotional rewards ($1800~) to be used in future purchases at B&H Photo. This offer is available in the Canon, Nikon and Sigma SLR mounts.
