 Be aware that Sigma 150-500 does not have 3 year extended warranty and it is impossible to register for the product, 2008-10-21

I bought this item and tried to register it as written on the warranty card. There is no place to register on www.sigma-photo.com and on the global Sigma site and there is no extended warranty. The Sigma's rep confirmed this. It is a big disappointment since I thought that it includes 3 year extended warranty as is advertised on Sigma 10-20mm f/4-5.6 EX DC HSM Lens for Nikon Digital SLR Cameras:

"Important Warranty Information: This new product includes a 1-year warranty plus 3-year extended warranty with registration. Once registered, the protection is valid for a period of 4 years from the original date of purchase. See included warranty card for details."

I was thinking of buying Sigma 10-20 mm but now am not sure since Sigma reduced warranty for its lenses. This means only one thing: they are not sure in the quality of their products.

10/22/08: After further conversation with the rep I found out that only EX lenses (Sigma 10-20 is one of them) have 3 year extended warranty. Other lenses such as 150-500, 120-400 have only one year. And it is true: you cannot register on Sigma site, so keep your warranty card!
