"Today I placed an order via the Sonic Cameras website to purchase a Nikkor 18-200 VR lens for $409. My wife received a call from them and gave them my cell phone number.
I spoke to someone who proceded to tell me that my three digit security code was required for my purchase.
I was informed that my decision was a bad one, that the Nikkor lens had cropping issues and that I should buy a digital one for $40 more. I was told to get th Sigma 18-200. When I asked him how the DX could not be digital he told me again that it had cropping issues.
Something did not feel right here so I told him to cancel my order. In reality, how can anyone really sell a $700 lens for $409 with free shipping?
I ended up buying a dual lens kit (18-55 & 55 - 200) for the time being, from another vendor of course."
