Sigma & Dealers Donating to COVID-19 Charities

If you’re in the market for a new Sigma lens, you can purchase through one of the local dealers with which Sigma is partnering and 5% of the sale will go to the local charity of that dealer’s choice until June 30th. According to Sigma:

Donations will be made to organizations working on COVID-19 relief efforts to help ease the devastation many communities are feeling as a result of the global crisis.

The list of participating dealers includes the following (links and info here):

  • Allen’s Camera – ERA Food Pantry
  • Art’s Camera – Waukesha Food Pantry
  • ASAP Photo & Camera – Foodbank of Central & Eastern North Carolina
  • Bedford Camera and Video – Our Neighborhood Empowered, Inc.
  • Camera Mall – Senior Solutions
  • The Camera Shop of Muskegon – Kids Food Basket of Muskegon
  • Glazers – Seattle Foundation
  • Hunt’s Photo & Video – Meals on Wheels
  • Kenmore Camera – North Helpline
  • Midwest Photo – Warm Westerville Area Ministry
  • Precision Camera – Health Alliance for Austin Musicians
  • PROCAM Photo & Video Gear – The Hope Clinic
  • Rockbrook Camera – Foodbank for the Heartland

I’ve been shopping at Glazer’s camera, when absolutely necessary, since the early 1990s, but I avoid them whenever possible. Their staff members over the years, particularly in the rental department, have been arrogant, condescending, and generally unhelpful, especially to young photographers… a difference that I’ve seen both sides of, now that I’m middle-aged.

Hopefully your local dealer is better, and you can help them weather this pandemic storm.

If your dealer isn’t any better, remember that buying your equipment through links provided by websites like this one help support our small businesses directly! Support us by shopping through Moment (Fuji Gear, Ona, DJI, etc), Amazon, Adorama, or B&H (in that order, from best to worst support).
