Sigma | AF 70-200/2.8 EX DG II APO MACRO HSM IF TELEPHOTO ZOOM LENS FOR OLYMPUS & PANASONIC 4/3 (77MM) *FREE SHIPPING* | 579107 | Tri-State Camera, Video, and Computer
This is the site that I am thinking of buying a lens tomorrow (well... today) but this site has the lens for 60-100 bucks cheaper than i have found it anywhere else. M question is, is this lens a so called "gray market" lens? My understanding is that "gray market" lenses do not come with warranties from the manufacturer. However, this one does. Does that mean it is safe to order? My other concern was that it would be the older non-ii version or that it is used, but a website will sell you what they say it is right? The site says EX DG II APO and it says nothing about being used. Also, the newer version of this lens for Olympus, Minolta, Sony Alpha, Pentax, and Canon EOS is 699 while the older version for Canon EOS, Nikon, and Sigma are 729. Does this mean anything? I guess I am just looking for some confirmation that this lens is safe to order.
