From what I hear on this forum, it does appear in general you do have to pay more for your gear in Germany and the UK. I paid $199 for my Sigma 30mm, and $150 for the 19mm. I didn't get them for the bargain price of $199 for the pair, but after using them, I feel they were still a bargain for the $350 I paid. The 30mm is on my Nex-7 most of the time. Not counting the exchange rate between the Dollar, Pound, and Euro, I don't understand the sometime big difference in what we are charged in the US compared to Europe. As an amateur astronomer, I also see a big difference in the European prices of telescope equipment. But as I said, if I had paid $199 for the Sigma 19mm, I would still be happy with it.
