Sigma Telezoom lens stock problems
Monday, September 11, 2006 at 15:25
We're going (back) to Africa in a couple of weeks. So for that occasion I would like to get a new Telezoom Lens to go with my Nikon D100. Some researching on the Internet left me with the "Sigma 80-400 F4.5-5.6 EX DG OS".
Today was the to be the day to order it (got approval from the CFO :) ), but the Nikon mount has some stock issues. The lens is NOWHERE to be found in the Netherlands :x. This leaves me with two options:
Damn those manufacturers!
UPDATE: through some fellow "phototweaker" I got an address in Hilversum who might have them in stock. One phone call later I had it reserved. So the new lens will be here before the weekend.

- hope that it's available BEFORE we fly to Africa or,
- get another lens (e.g. the Nikon version of the 80-400). Which costs "a bit" more.
