Sigma reducing prices.

Have been reading on other forums that Sigma seem to be reducing their prices on the high end lenses.

From THIS it would seem so .... there is also 3.5% cashback via Quidco and currently a £25 off voucher as well.

No stock atm but worth keeping an eye on it. (I will be).

Oh yes, just found it.

Silly me for posting it in the lens section when obviously I should have looked in the general first

Now if only they did that 120-300mm f2.8 in Pentax mount.

Well I decided on the 180mm macro .. at £450 with Quidco and the £25 voucher it would have been rude not to buy it. The K-7 can wait another month.

All options are open at the moment Huw .. no hurry.

Every month I leave it the price goes down a little more (whatever I decide)

I read on the other Pentax forum that no one seems to be stocking the 180mm in the USA any longer and there is a chance it is going to be discontinued in Pentax mount or upgraded to HSM. If it is discontinued then they may bring out a 150mm HSM version instead.

If they do bring out either with HSM then they wont work with my Sigma 1.4x/2x teleconverters so it made sense to buy one while its available and in Pentax screw mount.

Ahh, makes sense, I'd forgotten about the Sigma teleconverter issue on Pentax mount.

I have read a number of threads on this board that touch on the subject of the impact of Six Sigma on the cost reductions and process improvements that can be made in the non manufacturing areas of a business. It seems to me that whilst we are constantly trying to nail our suppliers and improve manufacturing processes in order to reduce time, waste, stock holding or improve our JIT environments we are ignoring one of the major things that hits our bottom line - that of our inability to recruit the right people at the right time with the right skills in the right geographical location.

Exactly.... take a look at Ronald's other posts and you just may come to the same conclusion as I

Not quite Spam fritters but nothing to do with Pentax....
