Q: Why can Best Buy not answer the question? It is in stock at other vendors..Why not Best Buy?

A: I actually went to the local store and asked..they had no real answer to give me and left with no help in solving this problem. I next called the Customer service line and asked if it would ever be in stock (because I think sometimes it says Backordered and this one does not...it says SOLD OUT). I was told it would be in stock but no time was ever given or estimated..I assume it will never be as all other vendors I looked at had it. So I just bought it at BH and BestBuy lost the sale.

Q: Which is beteer Sigma or tamron 70-200mm?

A: I have been told that the Sigma is not as good as Tamron but I have not used a sigma. What I can say is that I FINALLY got a Tamron 70-200 2.8 G2 and LOVE IT! I have rented the Nikon Version as well and although there is a small amount of difference.... it's not $1300 worth if you are on a budget! Hope this helps
