Sigma 35mm f1.4....?!!

[ElDude]

Ah yes, that would have been the better choice of word I suppose

She had 6 outfits to change into, still going through all the pictures, deadline is Wednesday as the student who designed and made the outfits is using the photos for her final entry for the course

No pressure then

Hi Robbie,

Thank you so much for that!! They all look amazing!! I'm really happy with the final outcome. Doesn't look like there's anything that needs adjusting but I'll let u know.

Thanks again!!!

ive used them 4 times, went ok for me, takes about a week to come, think a few on here used them as well.

They also take pics of the package before they send it

I used them for my 35MM, price has gone down though!

Never had an issue using them, sent me a picture of my order. Got it within a few days, did get hit my import tax but it was only £60 odd

ordered 9 days ago and not had any contact from them or confirmation of shipping (if there usually is any?), site suggests 10 days for order to be processed and delivered so will get in touch tomorrow. payment went through, order shows as paid according to order history on the site.

That's cheap!

I got stung £180 for my 50A, that only had a value of £600/$1000.

20% of a £500 lens should be. £100 + courier charges.

That is cheap, although I'm a bit wary not having heard of them before plus there's the risk of getting hit with taxes.

Decisions decisions - have a wedding in three weeks and I really want it for that.

i had quite a few emails from them with the tracking number, items in transit, with a link to click on to track.

Just to add I used them for my sigma. PayPal took a while to clear the payment but that wasn't their fault. Got a photo of the lens being packaged emailed to me. Would certainly use them again.

Anyway...on with the photos..



About half of this wedding was shot with the 35mm : http://kandlphotography.co.uk/keele-hall/laura-dom/

There's always import duty, you've just decided not to declare or pay it

Ooooops

And broken the law.... Dodgy business practices...

That aside I assume you make money from your wedding shoots, in which case are you VAT registered? If so you could claim back the VAT and negate most of the price benefit of importing anyway. I assume you could also offset the cost of the lens against tax as well as it's a business expense.

Unless of course you don't declare that income either...

Delicious bokeh.
