I see. I didn't know the Sigma didn't sell for retail. The nikon 70-200 retails and sells for the same price. I thought the Sigma was the same. In that case, I can see why. If you did pay $1200+ tax then I would of bought the Nikon instead.

I buy all of my stuff from www.bhphoto.com They are reputable and authorized dealers. That lens is $853.05 shipped. Could of saved some cash getting it from there. They ship fast as well. Same day if you order early enough in the day. Wolf/Ritz is the biggest rip off. I hate that place.
