Just stay away from this place. Classic BAIT AND SWITCH. Ordered a lens from them. A few days later get a call saying that I ordered the international version of the lens and it may not work with my camera ( red flag) and does not include lens caps or lens hood (these are listed as being included on their website) I asked to be sold the US version. I paid an extra $190 for the upgrade. This brought the price up to what everyone else sells this lens for. Their website does not mention anything about the lens being a grey market lens. There is not another version to even order. So they suck you in with a low price, then get you to upgrade and still sell you a grey market product. Very unethical, maybe even illegal bussiness practice. When the lens arrived, the paperwork indicated that it was NOT the US version but a grey market version. I paid for the US version and was shipped the grey market lens. I even checked the serial number with Sigma and it was confirmed the lens was a grey market lens. I have made multiple attempts to contact Abes of Maine and they have not responded. 4 emails and no response.

I would never do business with these people again and would recommend that everyone stay away from this place.
