Just picked up 2 of the black versions at the $25 price. One for me, one for my GF. Thanks OP!

 

[Tullphan]

I'm in for the brown @ $19.79. Thanks OP!

 

[mazeroth]

Snagged three. One for me, and one for brother and parents.

Thanks, OP!

 

[Tullphan]

Well, they canceled my order since my Paypal address is "unconfirmed".
Oh well.

Just ordered the brown. As others have mentioned, if you are in the U.S., select U.S. dollars in the shopping cart, and the price wil be $19.79 (with today's exchange rate).

It's actually on any page but the actual shopping cart page... e.g. on the product page. On the left side of the page, the 2nd item down from the main page header is a dropdown where you can choose between USD and CAD.

I got mine from post office yesterday. It actually arrived on Friday the 2nd, but I wasn't at home at the time and postman didn't leave the pick up notice until Saturday/Sunday when I was out.

Anyway, nicely made bag, very customizable and big enough to fit lots of equipment. I have yet to take it out, but so far it feels easy on the shoulder. Still, I'd hate to pay $140 MSRP for real crumpler version. It's just not worth $140, but then again, most of the SLR gear is ridiculously overpriced ($30 for a lens hood? really?). However, at $30 shipped I sure am glad I jumped on the deal.

Wow, thanks for the find. I have been looking for a nice shoulder bag for my gear. Right now I use my Kata backpack for everything but sometimes its a bit much, and it makes me look like a ninja turtle. I ordered one of the brown bags and hope its as good as the real thing. Has anyone else received their order yet? Can you comment on quality?

 

[finbarqs]

Okay I found it! I just can't click on the link the OP posted. I had to "log out" for it to come out!

 

[finbarqs]

i wonder how long shipping will take to the US... (California)

 

[finbarqs]

also, if I paid (didn't change it to 19.97 to the US exchange rate) will they "automatically" do the exchange rate for me??

What are you talking about???

$30 for a lens hood is fine!

Haha, holy crap, never knew L hoods cost so much. That's an even bigger ripoff than piece of plastic for $30.

Thanks OP. In for one.

It's not all L hoods. Just the big telephotos. Everything up to and including the 70-200/2.8, and 100-400 have plastic hoods that are less than $100. The really big iron (300/2.8, 200/2.0, 400/4.0, 500mm, 600mm, etc.) (i.e., pretty much anything that cannot use a standard screw-on filter because the diameter of the front element is ~100mm or larger) uses big, expensive carbon fiber hoods. Of course every "L" comes with the hood initially, so most people never have to buy them separately (unlike Canon's consumer line, NONE of which come with hoods, in contrast with most lenses from Nikon, Sigma, Sony, etc.). If you have to buy a lens hood that's not one of the carbon fiber ones, the knockoff ones on eBay are much cheaper and pretty much just the same, as long as it has the interior flocking.

Hmmm. Mine took about a week, I would give it a couple more days. Did you get the email from Canada Post? I got one when the bag was shipped and another after it was delivered. They must have some sharing arrangement with the USPS Delivery Confirmation system, so if it's lost then you will have some way to track it down.

Oh, and since it's coming from out-of-country then it will require a signature.

I don't have my bag yet and I haven't recieved any emails either. I did use the standard 10$ shipping, which does say 10-15 days.

Hmmm. Looking back at my emails, I placed the order on 9/21 and received an invoice / order confirmation from SIG. On 9/22 I received a shipment notification with tracking number from Canada Post. The package arrived on 9/28 and I received a delivery notification email from Canada Post later that evening. It is strange to me that you did not receive the emails yet. Did you get the order confirmation from SIG?

 

[finbarqs]

it's been about 8 days for me... ordered 10/1/2009, and still no emails or anything...

 

[Spamela]

great deal. i snagged a black one. thanks, OP

 

[CowboyFarmer]

@finbarqs did you log in to your account to check your order's status? I ordered yesterday and it says pending fulfillment. BTW, Canadian Thankings Giving is this weekend, so expect delays if you ordered recently.

 

[CowboyFarmer]

As I mentioned, I ordered yesterday (a brown one). FYI, *just* received my email invoice.
