That price is only for USA residents. In my case they add 8$ shipping and 25$ import taxes for a total of 126 $ or 1065 NOK. Its still a fantastic lens for this price and a good buy, better then the lowest norwegian price, but not as super as it sounded first, taking into account much less buyer protection when buying from abroad.

FWIW the original warranty is still valid, you just have to pay a ~50 euro service charge per repair. There's not much that can break in that lens, though!

It looks like the campain is over. It was 92$ a few hours ago and 117 $ now. (157 $ for norwegians)
