B&H Photographic Raising Sigma Prices

B&H Photographic Raising Sigma Prices

I was wondering if many of you who check prices of lenses on a regular basis noticed that B&H Photographic have raised Sigma lens prices. I looked at other places and their prices seem to be steady (for them). However, B&H and a modest raise to most if not all of the Sigma lenses. What is that all about? Example, a Sigma 100-300 f4 EX DG was $1099 and is now $1199. Why the $100 hike? The Sigma 70 f2.8 EX DG Macro was $429 and is now $479. Why the $50 hike?

I just find it odd because the other retailers haven't raised their prices (yet).
