They claim they have a warehouse here in Sydney so it might be possible to track them.

Quite an unbelievable price for this lens. Otherwise from a store in Sydney you're looking at 2,000. Which might be 400 more than the Bigma but I believe the image quality AND the image stabilization are worth it.
That's a crazy price!!! I've only ever seen it before for around the $2k mark, which is too much, but this brings it within reach of Sigma's price!!! Now it's game on

Has anyone used both lenses for aviation photography before? And does anyone know how much quality of the 100-400mm is affected by the 1.4x and 2.0x extenders from Canon?
