Amazing experience with Cardinal. I purchased a pre-order Sigma 300-600 telephoto lens, and they were able to get my lens in the mail before the product hit the floor. I received the lens the next day, just in time to take to Central America for birding. Their communication and dedication to quality service were outstanding.
