Camera Lens Deals & Offers

all those pre-orders are always miss-prices and Amazon almost always cancel it, good luck anyone

I suppose it's all down to personal preference, but a lot seem to like it for portraits rather than the 50mm. Not used one myself but at a price like that I'd be tempted to get one.

Oops, I should have said focal length, I knew that :D

It's not a zoom lens, it's a prime i.e. fixed focal length.

It's not listed for that price at the moment, it's an awkward zoom range too.

F2.8 if you can afford it

Good lens , but f4 won’t be give good results Indoor / low light. Prefer f2.8 which gives amazing results,but almost triple the price

Any good as a wide angle lens for property photography

the image quality of 24-105 is not as good as 24-70. I would say, far worse. 24-105 is for amateur, and 24-70 is for professional.

I tend to use my Tamron 17-50 f2.8 mostly, it's nice and fast across the entire range.

By the way the drone-only version is the cheapest it's been according to CCC at £290

https://www.parrot.com/uk/itscoming#itscoming May or may not be a consumer product, but one is due, the bebop 2 is a few years old right?

£379 currently on Amazon, same as Argos: http://www.argos.co.uk/product/6528201 New model on the way??

Actually, they have a much better routing option (for making routes that the drone follows). They are also much better at tracking subjects...and that camera is far more durable than the gimble on something like the Spark. Speaking of the Spark, the Bebop 2 has nearly double the flight time and costs significantly less. It's a nice alternative

Why ? What’s your reasons?

Sorry for the inconvenience, hopefully returns is hassle free

Got mine. It's 43 :S

You get an old 4/3 lens not the Micro 4/3 lens. Adapter is around £30 on the bay. CEX have now sold out of the correct lens that this incorrect posting was for, the M 4/3 but were selling them for £80

If you ordered one of these, do let us know what turns up - I'm certainly curious!

This is now showing as out of stock, so I'm guessing a few people decided to give it a go. When CEX buy an item from a customer, they look up that item on their website and match it to an existing listing, so it quite often happens that things are mis-identified. This applies particularly with items that have several versions/variants (like lenses...). I reckon it's quite possible that one or two M43 lenses will have been listed under the description in the original post above, but it's a lottery. If you don't get what you are hoping for, send it back for a refund or take it into your nearest CEX store. Simple. Case in point: I recently bought a Bose Soundlink Mini from CEX. It was listed (and priced) as a mark one, but turned out be a mark 2. It came complete with the rather nice Bose carry case. Bonus! OTOH, I once ordered a case for my Dell tablet and received a power supply for a Sony laptop. Someone must have had a bad day at the office... Good luck!

its arrived just charging the battery, whats a cheap/decent longer lens around 200mm for it please?

Just received an email saying it’s been dispatched and will arrive today Sunday. Was initially Tuesday but I’m not complaining Update Mine has arrived (highfive)

True, I was slightly swayed by the better controls of the d7000, as I find the menu diving of entry level models quite frustrating. But, the camera is for my soon to be 9 year old son and the d3400 will be more than enough for him. I cancelled the D7000 :)

D7000 is only 16.2mp the D3400 is 24.7mp

Same here, got an email saying it would be here on Tue, cracking deal for £306. Was literally on the verge of paying Currys £430 yesterday for it but it was oos

Down to £132.99 right now and fullfilled by Amazon.

Because they don't have a registered UK address listed on their website (or something very similar) was the reason they gave for removing my post. I think they import into Manchester and post tracked royal mail from there, so no risk of additional duty/tax etc. unlike some other grey imports

why don't they allow that site? They don't pay commission to hukd?

for just £17 you can have an Amazon 2 year accident and breakdown cover or 3 years for £3 more.

Had this lens when it came out and found it OK at best. Good for a starter but nothing special. I would recommend buying a second hand one from a reputable dealer who will give a 12 month warranty. That said Nikon lenses tend to be very reliable.

See first link in the first comment, you don't need the camera body as well. To get the cashback. You will need a camera body to take photos.

Quote from the Amazon 'Get Deal' link above :-

Got that for £469.99 in 2012 ! #Bargainous

I wish!

For a minute thought this was the L!!

Thanks for the info. (y) (y)

Great lens, I have one, The MK III version is imminent though.

one left in Heathrow if anyone is travelling soon

Amazing quality. Had mine 2 years. I now also have large biceps!

That was a very good price! Pity I missed it.

I apologize I didn't see the cashback added in the title. Good price for a legit UK body. I would recommend the eBay site which I imported mine from for £1450 with a 1 year warranty but I'm not sure if the rules here allow it.

did it have cashback last year? ( lol )

Not the cheapest price ever, it was £2000 on Black Friday last year lol. Also it can be had for sub £1500 imported which is where I got mine (works perfectly, 1 year warranty).

looks a good deal cheapest ever price + big cashback no way i am paying that for a camera but doesn't mean its not a good deal

Excellent price if you’re need the 42mp. It’s OK for action but obviously bettered by the newer gen models. Stills are fantastic - even the kit lens and cheapo glass can deliver with this. Still a monster for landscape and portrait shooters.

Reserved one in the Curry's mile end store, Turned up to collect and released that it was a open box (battered) probably returned piece, the manager was un-apologetic and shrugged me off saying cant do anything. Total Wanker! Had even called their sales line and online chat to confirm stock, pretty sure some one fobbed of an internal piece, not impressed as they wasted my time. Had they been honest about the unit's status i would have reserved it in another store.

Incase anyone was still pondering over what bag to get, I went for this one: Lowepro TLZ 20 II Adventura Toploading Bag for Camera amazon.co.uk/dp/B00U3TQRBE/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_QnJ6AbMWZ2ZNR Easily the most compact and practical, perfect (y) Oh and Currys sent me a £30 voucher for keeping my wife waiting in the store unnecessarily due to initially refusing the £50 off code, we needed a new dishwasher so jobs a good'un!!

I can confirm I got the AF-P lens in mine, which is good. The VRII version was also on display model I looked at in store. Just been reading about how good the AF-P version is compared to the VRII and 'every other 18-55mm lens', please I got this version! :P

Went for a walk yesterday and decided to test the camera out with all the default equipment. It's fair to say I'm impressed with the camera - all images below are using the "auto" mode and the lens the camera came with. I have a lot of learning to do. imgur.com/gallery/ewCToVw Click on each image to view the full photo.

Thanks op, really pleased with the camera! Any lens recommendations?

Grey ones back on offer at £28.38

This has gone up to £34 now

Yes

Bought this camera when it was initially hot, great dashcam wish I’d bought two now as it’s back up to £34 😩

Does it have easy removal system for hiding?

Back in stock and with £80 cashback. Be quick.

Just found in stock, ordered and its out of stock again. Just in case anyone is looking and they happen to find stock, I believe the Sony Summer Cashback offer is starting up today and gives £80 cashback on this lens - definitely worth a try.

OOS unforttunately.

Great price good find

Thanks, I ll stick to my adapted canon for now(still got a 5dc after all) and keep saving for the tamron 15-30...

Cancelled.

No longer available.

Well, I'm very happy for you. I ordered mine on the 21st, still saying... Order status: Received. It was on 3 in stock before and after I ordered two, so I suspect they'll be cancelling my order. Fingers crossed not.

Hmm, that's odd. I got fairly instant confirmation when I ordered mine and received it within a few days.

This should be expired. I ordered two on Saturday night and they still haven't confirmed my order. I doubt they will tbh. Showing as unavailable now.

The point is that people need to be aware of who the are buying from and the risks. Many of the regulars on HUKD will be very familiar with eglobal but a lot of others will not. In essence, if everything goes to plan, you will receive the product described at a great price. However, if the product is damaged or broken, returns are at your cost and there are many reviews indicating that it can be difficult or impossible to get a replacement product or refund. If the product breaks during the normal warranty period, it is unlikely to be covered by the manufacturer. Having said this, with a lens, if it works on arrival, it is likely to keep working and so your main issue would be a doa product. For a lot of people, the discount available will justify them taking this risk. For others, they will prefer to buy second-hand through Amazon Warehouse or a local camera shop.

I have purchased a couple of lenses from eglobal and they have been fine

its not a ridiculous comment, many people would prefer 2nd hand over the risk from this very poorly rated overseas seller

Ridiculous comment, of course 2nd hand should be cheaper but that is not what the OP was listing.

I tried to buy on amazon warehouse - was more expensive but thought I would be safer, Amazon sent me a Canon Fit TWICE! I cast my net winder and this was as cheap as I could find for brand new

I know, I completely agree, my comment wasn't against the lens, more that people buy DSLR's expecting them to have a massive zoom on them, when they don't, well not with the kit lens. I need to take mine out this week, wanting a compact so want to see what a 50mm zoom is like in real life, its been so long since I used it I can't remember :( Looking at getting a G7xII or RX100 which both obviously have short optical zooms.

yes 'if' they are used to 30x zoom it will be 'less' 55mm will be around 3x zoom due to crop factors (obviously the lens is 3xzoom but thats different) when we are walking about 'seeing stuff' that is generally within the 18-55 range (near the middle) so its only when we want to get closer than normal that higher focal lengths come into play again though - if they are used to 30x and thought 55mm was more thats still not the lenses fault

yes but if they are used to using a 30x zoom on a compact camera then a 55 lens is likely to be a disappointment, whats that, roughly 1.8/2.2x zoom? I must admit I rarely have my 50mm lens on my DSLR, my 18-300 is usually on, but its apain cos its so big :(

as a phone is good enough for most people a 18-55mm lens is even more versatile

If anyone sells 10-18 lens for a decent price I would buy it.
