Camera Lens Deals & Offers

Anyone looking for a slightly cheaper alternative, check out the tamron 70-180 f2.8

Sigma have just brought out their 28-70mm f2.8. It's smaller and lighter then the tamron. Also has af/mf switch on it. Slightly more expensive then tamron, but nice lens.

I do like an almost-all-purpose zoom when just travelling around. The Tamron 28-70 f2.8 is my default lens. I hate faffing around changing lenses and missing a shot. I rarely use my primes or my crappy 24-240, but they definitely have a place in my kit bag. Wish I could justify the spend on something better than my 24-240

I wanted this lens but a lot of people who own this lens have said they want an upgrade as well as the 85mm 1.4GM. I’ll hold out for now as Sony seems to be going in the right direction with IQ and weight

A lot of photographers don't like using primes. They prefer zooms as they have a good range without having to change lenses and less running around involved. I personally use primes, but I have friends who like using zooms as thats what they are happy with out of habit and style etc.

Absolutely, and I bet you know about lenses and are therefore able to legit say whether this is a deal or not.

Yeah, I know. :) I even posted where you can get this lens cheaper than the OP's non-deal. We were discussing something else. (y)

There are even faster (let's more light in) versions that are significantly more expensive. I've got several lenses more expensive than this but I drive a really old car. It's about what people want to spend their extra money on. I've also got a drone and stuff like that.

The issue was that you don't get the £200 cashback if you buy via Amazon. At which point one of the other places selling the lens at £1095 or so is a better deal.

Fair enough. :) What qualifies something as being considered a 'good deal' has been debated since the day this site started, and will no doubt continue to be a debated until the day it ends. ;)

You are once again using last years list of dealers not this summer's list.

Is this not usually about £1,700? I hired one last year and absolutely loved this lens.

O https://campaign.odw.sony-europe.com/redemption/dealers/GB_DI_Dealers.pdf Don't know what DI is but your URL says Lens Dealers. The one I posted doesn't mention lens nor Amazon so looks maybe Amazon is lens only cashback.

Same price at Wex and a couple of quid cheaper at Camera World of £1599 but get the cashback as they are confirmed as part of the cashback and Amazon might not be

Odd, it's still showing on here. https://campaign.odw.sony-europe.com/redemption/dealers/GB_DI_Lens_Dealers.pdf

I ordered on 5th, should have got it by 8th..called them and no tracking number yet. expecting a callback with details...hoping its not gone ooc in warehouse.

I concur with this, super quick service.peobably worth contacting them directly and you'd probably get the same deal when back in stock.

Mines just arrived! Very impressed, much smaller and lighter than my kit lens, and the bokeh is nice and creamy.

True, Its oos now.. Just a word about the seller Camera Centre UK, based in Wales, I have used their service before and I recommend them highly. Friendly and excellent service.

Deal is expired for sure (seller isn't on the list of approved voucher vendors: https://pages.ebay.co.uk/coupons/2021/dslq3/index.html) EDIT: plus now it's out of stock
