Nice. Haha for me i'd get a local one, rather pay a little bit more for that 'mental-assurance'.. but that's just me XD

Well, that "little" more for this lens isn't that "little" it's about $200+ difference which is about 1/3 more..
Grey set with shop warranty goes for $492 while non-grey sets go for about $800 or less..
Maybe if it were a $2k lens, $200 is a small sum but for something under $500, $200 becomes a big difference for some…If $ wasn't an issue, i'm sure people would rather buy the 35L

Haha. Maybe because I have no experience in buying/testing lens, so for me If I were to get a grey set there is a high chance I'd have to pay the $150 for calibration. So for my case the difference is actually okay for me at $100 +- And the extra $100 paid actually covers an extra calibration pus a little bit of other warranties. Hehe hope that explains why I used 'little'! Haha XD
Btw, do the shops selling grey sets provide calibration? Just wondering, cos if they do, then $500 is actually pretty worth it. Haha cos the only thing I worry most about is the calibration =p

DD will accept the lens for calibration but I find it pointless because they will not take your camera body.
I checked with OP on Aug, S$766 by order.
This is for OlympusMount tho, but the pricing should be cheaper for Canon/Nikon mount or not differ by much.
Hi ppl...
I have just bought the lens from DD last week and really happy to see the lens fit my camera perfectly. I have sharper images but sometimes a miss in focus may occur even the focus indicator is lighted, do not know why. I have asked about the calibration service, it is FOC and may take up to 2-3 weeks as they need to send it back to their agent. BUT do take note that they are not calibrating to your camera body, it is to the default factory setting.

Ahhh. But then the lens needs to be calibrated to the body.. Haha so yea I wouldn't take the risk as well ;x
Haha I see. But you seem to have quite a range of lenses so I'd say you know your stuff well enough to get a sharp copy of grey sets. Haha
Yea man, I'll be checking on the focusing mainly. Will be bringing along a test chart and my netbook. That's all I'm gonna bring, with no tripod. That's why I factored in the calibrations costs already when considering grey sets.. Haha =p
Nope, i only have my D7000 with 16-85! Hmm i guess you just have to camp at the shop to test till the lens suits your camera body i guess. ):
But actually if i'm right, grey set is under Sigma 1 year international warranty. Then for Sigma Singapore, the repair cost cover equipment but not service cost. So in fact the calibration is only 80 bucks i think.

My experience with DDE has been good so far. They even offer ext warranty of 7 yrs at $49! Should be getting it when I get my next lens from them. But will need to find out how it work first.
I'm very happy with my lens that has been sharp out of box. I think if they calibrate it to the factory setting, it should fit the cam? I thought they should have the standard calibration for all canon mount lens rite? So far with all my electronic stufff (except iphone), I have not utilise the warranty at all. even my monitor with 3 yrs on-site warranty which I abuse quite badly can pass the test, not to mention such gears which should be able to withstand certain level of harsh condition. furthermore, I trust that most of us will take good and dedicated care to clean and "dry-cabinate" it when not in use. Quite difficult to malfunction I suppose.
