No idea why that is .. here is a link that features price comparison in Canada ... and I would watch eBay ... sometimes you can get a great deal there ... The Tamron SP AF 17-50mm f/2.8 XR Di-II VC LD lens is actually very good, a slight bit better than the Sigma. You can read up on this @ slrgear.com .... pretty helpful site.

Hey Matt,
Thanks for the suggestion about eBay - i hadn't thought of that. ive been checking craigslist locally and nothing around that wasnt more money used than for a new one in the US. I ended up getting a mint as new one on eBay for 360.00, so I am rather happy for your help

I purchased the sigma for my d5000. I love it. It functions very well in low light and is fast. The focus can sometimes hunt a bit which is frustrating but that's probably me screwing it up. For 200 you get far more than you pay for it. Almost all o fmy images are taken with it.
