Hi, Just came out of a personal economic crisis and I celebrated by finally picking up my 70-300 zoom. My first choice was the Tamron Di which was not available in the Philippines. Trying to order online, there were 3 sites that had it for around US$150--plus owing the fact that I had a friend travelling through the US--I tried ordering it online and shipping it to where he was (save on shipping...). Anyway site #1 says they don't ship to different billing & shipping address; site #2 is okay to ship to differing addresses but not to hotels; site #3 is okay to ship to differing addresses including hotels but will not entertain overseas buyer (s...expletive deleted).
Anyway, walking into a local camera shop, I mentioned my quest for a 70-300 and the dealer said if I'd opt for a Sigma. He's got this Sigma 70-300 APO open box special for about US$137.00. Will just wait for this typhoon to blow over & I'll get out and shoot something...
