Whether those lenses are actually in stock is another matter. I ordered an FA 31 Ltd from them some months ago at a similarly tempting price only to discover that it didn't exist. They did apologise and arranged a refund reasonably promptly but even then the written communications were in broken English which really didn't inspire much confidence in the professionalism of the company. Maybe I'm old fashioned but I expect a business transaction with a UK company to be conducted in reasonably clear and grammatical English. I wouldn't completely rule out using them again but its worth exercising some caution and perhaps enquiring whether the lens is in stock before ordering.

Microglobe have always given their own 1 year warranty. I had a Sigma 50mm macro from them that was boxed as Sigma Germany source BUT the UK lot refused its serial number when i tried for the extended for the 3 year warranty. So much for us all being Europeans together eh? I've found Microglobe excellent excellent. It is a long running proper shop London based friends tell me.

I guess these are the sort of prices we'll get from Pro dealers when the next big lens sale comes along. 2 years surely matters for some SDM lenses but not otherwise.
