anyone knows if the warranty for sigma lens is international? ie if i was to buy this lens from usa, would the warranty be valid in singapore? abes of maine is only selling it for 483 USD, which is only 710sgd at the current exchange rate! http://www.abesofmaine.com/item.do?item=SG18250OSAFC
Hi kikiaw,
Don't know if you have considered the Tamron prior to buying the Sigma and if you did, can you share what swayed you towards the Sigma?
Thks for this posting.. very informative
however, does the latest sigma or tamron lens still hv QC problem? ie one focus better then the other??
Hi dared, Had chked with Sigma (singapore), guess u need to get the international warranty card instead their local warranty card and I also asked abt the local warranty here covering period just in case someone need the know what's the diff between with n without register online. Hope tis help.
Here's what they sent me today.
"Dear Sir
He probably has an international warranty card which is for one year.
On line registration is only for customers who purchase in Singapore from our authorized dealers who will supply the customer with the local warranty card to register on line. When you purchase from our authorized dealers there is 2 years warranty and additional 6 months for on-line registration. But the additional 1.5 months (besides the one year internations warranty) is for service only in Singapore.

Wow, thanks! Paiseh that you have go to the trouble of asking sigma about that, thought it would be common knowledge, so did not go ask sigma about it myself... :sweat:
hmmm so it would be like spending 230 dollars for an extra 1.5 years warranty :think:
I'm now in Taipei and seen some sample pics taken with this lense and seems very sharp. I'll be trying out the lense and hopefully can get a good copy. Not confirm to buy yet but would try out actual copy to test results.![]()
Taiwan nice! Go snap some Bin Lan La Mei pics back to show us.![]()
