Which Macro Lens...

Onestop are based in hk but are well regarded, I've used them in the past without any issues. A warranty claim could be a pain as you may have to send the lens back to them. You don't pay any custom fees, well if you do Onestop will pay for it.

Hmm well, I actually asked about the 7 year warranty option and the terms of it and I got this response:
What do you think?
I think I'm going to go ahead anyway!

It's an extra tenner mate!
I have the Sigma 105 and I really like it. As has been said though, the body is flimsy and you have to be careful with it. If you drop it, I wouldn't expect it to survive. It isn't internal focusing either, which adds to the worry for me.
Still, if you know you're going to treat it carefully, then it wouldn't be a problem, or shouldn't be if you're careful. I've recently cleared my old macro shots off flickr so I don't have anything left other than some random stuff taken with the lens. This is the closest to any sort of macro shot I have uploaded
Oh, I found another
Actually, looking through I had a few I hadn't tagged properly, that are taken with that lens. Most aren't actually macro photos, but still from that lens. You'd probably be more impressed if you searched for the Sigma 105 group on Flickr than looking at anything I've done anyway

Have to let me know how it goes, I badly want a macro lens and at this price it's a bargain... I'm just wary of buying from the Far East.

Unbelievable.
I ordered Tuesday evening. It arrived this morning (Thursday) from HK. The guy who delivered it was wearing a cape!
Seriously though that is rapid delivery, and no problems with customs or anything. Item was brand new, original and very happy. I would recommend these guys!
