Camera Lens Deals & Offers

Thank you to J9. I got one for my sony e mount, now i have to pick a adapter.

Looks like stock is gone ! Expire.

Do you know of any good adaptor with good auto focusing speed?

Amazon warehouse always has some popping up at decent price if you don’t mind pre use

Any deal for A mount to E mount adaptors?

anyone had more success?

Good luck to those who ordered if anyone is lucky enough to get it and wants to sell it let me know

Order cancelled. Ah well, it was worth a punt.

Did anyone get anything other than 'awaiting stock'? If you did, suspect you may have a chance.

Me too

Lol... £1274 with discount code. Neatly summed up (y)

looks like it wont work with my D3100 :( well it will work in manual focus mode only, ... time for me to upgrade dam :( TY op good price

Good post o/p. Camelcamelcamel has just picked this up and sent me an email alert

Erm that is nothing like the lens on offer. Try again Sherlock.

Leica, hahaha. I bet you're photography doesn't equate to the money you spend on it. Ever hear the saying "that it's the photographer, not the gear"? . Post a link to your images.

I must admit I am a little disappointed with the image quality of this lens :o(, the softness of the corners is pretty awful imo!

Its absolutely not pointless as when i am travelling i dont have time to take out a tripod and set it up for every wide shot. I just take the camera out and take a wide picture holding the camera in hand. It works great in those instances especially monuments, museums, buildings and so on. Thats where a 10-18mm IS works wonders. If however you always use a tripod for your wide shots or to capture places of interest then obviously IS is not needed.

Would like a tokina 11-16mm myself

Fantastic lens. This is now my standard lens.

I think is is pointless as I can see most people using this lens for landscapes so it would be on a tripod. Don't forget this is dx lens

£972 with Quidco

The 24-105g was £899 on Black Friday so if you’re not in any rush may be on sale in the next couple of months at that price again?! £989 is a good price too though. Just saying in case somebody isn’t in a rush and wants to gamble. Great lens

looks like just gone up

Nothing is there...

Don't see it...

Awfully nice of you..thanks

There aren't any apart from the Tamron AF 18-200mm f/3.5-6.3 Di III VC which is about £500 if you can actually find it. This Sony is not bad at all for the price, very compact and nicely made too. The best all rounder zoom for the aps-c Sony's IMO is the SELP 18-105 mm F4.0 Zoom G which is a deal of the day on Amazon £339 after cash back.

not good for full frame unfortunately

Any independent maker (Sigma, Tamron, etc) with a lens around this price you'd recommend as an alternate? Doesn't have to be this exact focal length.

But on ebay you're buying it from some bloke who can't supply warranty cover, rather than a reputable seller. He might have good feedback, but that won't help you if the lens breaks down. Think I'd spend the extra £19 for peace of mind.

Same lens. Just cheaper from a smaller seller, maybe trying to get rid of stock.

wow .. are you really stalking me now? sheesh

Cold, no optical zoom

It's probably just coincidence mate but If your package has 2 in it when it arrives, you can forward one on! Haha

Strangely, my order wasn't delivered tonight and he was only 1 stop away. Received an email apologising that my package is running late and to let them know if not delivered by Saturday. Makes you wonder if they cancelled delivery based on your issue

Just received this. Where do I start? When I opened the Amazon package, I noticed the box for the lens looked really quite bashed as if it had been a return. Anyway, soldiered on and opened the very light seeming box only to find 2 sets of instructions, a bubble wrap bag and not a lens in sight! Amazon sorted me out but they had no replacement stock unfortunately. Hope everyone else is a little more fortunate than me...

Ya my comment is aimed at casual users looking for an all-rounder like myself. Agree that if you're going to have a variety of lenses, a portrait lens is a good shout!

Shooting wide becomes boring after a while, once you start shooting over 85mm equiv. you develop better eye for detail and composition skills, imo of course. I don't say tighter is more useful, but for sure more fun.

I bought this recently. Really nice lens in my unexpert opinion. I will be returning though as picked up the 35mm for a more 'general use' focal range. This one is slightly telephoto, so great for portraits but I'm not sure I agree with the description of this being ideal for 'general photography' as the view is 85mm equiv - too tight IMO. Just in case it helps anybody. Heat added, price is great and it's a great lens for portraits.

Looking back it's been posted at this price a few times and done well for heat. Good luck!

Great lens

I would avoid getting the sony 50mm, if anything put that money towards the sony 85mm 1.8 or the ultra sharp sony zeiss 55mm 1.8 or sony 28mm f2 if money is no object.

It was black Friday and I had just got the body. They also did the 50mm 1.8 for £100 instead of £179. The Tamron is a nice lens, not sure about the 50mm. It's optically good but quite noisy and slow to focus compared to the Tamron.

Great price!, and i might need to try the same method, cheapest i've seen it is £700 with price match

Went into jessops in Preston to pick up the A7III body and Wilkinsons were doing the lens for £729 at the time. I told the guy in jessops I was just popping across the way to pick up the lens and he said he'd do it for £629 if I went back the next day to collect it because they had no stock.

How did you manage to get it at £629? :O thats the next lens i need to get, so many positives reviews

To be fair I emailed them the day after I ordered, when they said it may take 48-72 hrs to progress, so I can't judge them for that. But to their credit I got prompt responses to every email I sent - usually within a few hours, but every one within 24. That's not bad for a company known for saying and doing very little.

whats great service? that they got caught out only because you emailed them?

Honest update: I emailed eGlobal to see if I could upgrade my order, and they responded emailed to say they were out of stock of both versions, but offered a replacement or immediate refund. Their CS responded very quickly to everything I sent them, countering their reputation for poor service. Refund was next-day, despite saying it could take several, and I ultimately bought a nearly new kit (with 14-42 pancake zoom) in mint condition from Harrison cameras (UK based) for £275, which was a find in itself. Hope others had more luck.

Good price for a used body kit

I bought this a few weeks ago, used for £198, from Camera Jungle. Mint condition, free delivery, 12 months warranty, and a no quibble 14 day return. Well pleased with it.

229 on ebay https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Samyang-AF-35mm-F2-8-in-Sony-FE-Full-Frame-Mount/362030718150?epid=21013140585&hash=item544ab65cc6:g:cGUAAOSwcuRay1h3:rk:6:pf:0 new from UK seller 100% positive feedback

will wait for cheaper then!

Excellent lens, just 85g, compact and sharp. Been cheaper though, paid £219 last year.

Great lens for price and very sharp.

This Samyang has very poor a.f performance and isn’t as sharp as the Sigma Art or Zeiss 55mm. The lens you bought is also known for slow a.f especially in low light.

You must have had a bad copy the 55mm is widely regarded as one of the sharpest lenses you can buy for e-mount. Mine is razor sharp wide open.

Please post back! Very interested to know as well.

Great question, because I did the same thing! The Samyang should come tomorrow so i will test side by side - see if there is a AF difference and/or image quality difference when shooting wide open.

I have just bought this Friday sel50f18f lens (£144). Is this one that much better? My impression is that F1.8 seems wide enough for most of the things, but AF performance could be slightly better I guess

I got John Lewis to price match so that doesnt show up as a discount - just the standard £350 they the credit you back the difference

Is the cashback offer still valid on top of this discount? Terms of the cashback say it's not stackable with other Olympus deals or discounts. Whether that applies to deal discounts I can't say.

This isn't the place to be asking these kind of questions, you'd be MUCH better off just spending half an hour reading up on the basics, the terminology etv. That way you can interpret all the "experts" comments on here a little better - there's way too many people TELLING you what you should do as opposed to just saying it's what they think is right ;) As for the price, that's why I said about used. If you look at independant reviews (dpreviews etc) you'll see that the 20mm is a stellar performer. The 25mm is cheap, yes. If you have a look and see what the going rate is for a specific used lens then you'll rarely lose more than a few quid if you buy it, find it's not for you and decide to sell it on. A lot are even boxed, as new. Also, check out this thread, theres a guy in a similar situation asking the same things about the 25mm. I've given the same advice there ;)

When you mention the focal length, you mean how far away something has to be? Sorry to be a dumba$$ but still not got to grips with this. Is this when using for macro shots or generally? That 25mm f1.7 does look tempting at £110! The 20mm is well over double.
