I got the lens alright, but it was missing the lens cap. The advertisement didn't say it was missing, nor would be. It might not seem to be a big deal to most, it is for me. If I spend upwards of $100 and up, I expect everything to be there, unless specified. And it is automatically assumed that the lens cap will be included even if not mentioned. At least that is how major retailers like Newegg lists their specifications. I received the lens back in October when I purchased it and instantly informed him of it missing the lens cap. He replied he would get me one. It is now December. I PMd him once more and still have not received a response whether or not he has read the message or sent the lens cap.
But other than that, when it came time to purchase the lens it was a fast communication and I got the lens safe and sound. So the feedback I have for him is rather iffy. On the one hand I got the lens I wanted safely and on the other it is missing its lens cap.

Seller: rdlugosz Item: Sigma APO 70-200 f2.8 EX DG HSM Comments: great quick feedback, answered all my questions timely and fully, a pleasure to deal with, was able to overnight the item to me (per my request) and it got here promptly, packed fantastically, and in the condition described (this lens was taken good care of by Ryan, you can tell!) works like a charm too, can't wait to keep playing with it and getting more used to it! I think the best part of this interaction was how on top of everything he was, he kept me informed every step of the sale!
Shawn was very understanding when I was busy at work. We had great communication. He even came to my office to "try before you buy". It was a great pleasure to meet a fellow Dgrin member. I highly recommend this buyer.
Experience: I could not have had a better first experience in this forum than dealing with Tom. He went above and beyond to answer all my silly questions, was patient, and extremely helpful. I would buy, sell, or trade with him again anytime.

BTW, I took him at his word and never saw any pictures, but, it was just as promised.

Comments: Aaron is by-far one the greatest sellers on the forum. Conversation was immediate all the time, never had to wait for a response. I would buy anything from him without thinking twice.
Tom was helpful and delivered the item quickly. I think I paid Thursday or Friday and had it by Tuesday!
When I opened it, I felt like I was getting a brand new item. Everything was bubble wrapped and still in the plastic. The grip looks perfect and works great. Thanks Tom!

The packaging was nothing short of superb: bubble wrapped, plenty of packing peanuts, boxed, more packing peanuts, boxed again. Smooth transaction. Highly recommend and readily deal with blackwaterstudio in the future.
