chris_at_vividoptic.com Posted March 11, 2006 Share Posted March 11, 2006 <p>Both Ffordes & Warehouse Express have dropped price of the KM 17-35D to ᆪ150 in the UK! Amazing. Jessops still selling at ᆪ389 or something. I tried them today and they won't price match. Few other shops still selling at ᆪ250+, couple at ᆪ200 </p> <p> </p> <p><a href="http://www.warehouseexpress.com/">http://www.warehouseexpress.com/</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.ffordes.com">http://www.ffordes.com</a> </p> <p> </p> <p>Shame, I had a really good deal locally and was going to get one myself or maybe offer one for sale on my auction page.</p> <p>Are we allowed to point at our own for sale pages in here? Can't remember the rules - I have a bunch of lenses on a private auction closing out tonight. Perhaps if a moderator is looking in here they can advise if I am allowed to link to my for sale page?</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bill_thorlin Posted March 11, 2006 Share Posted March 11, 2006 If it is of any interest one went on fleabay for 157 quid recently - plus a few quid for postage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg_heil1 Posted March 11, 2006 Share Posted March 11, 2006 Actually Chris does a great service to the community in keeping tabs of Prime prices! See <a href="http://www.maxxumeyes.com/">maxxumeyes</a>. i think you can easily find the sale prices by clicking the [P]'s and his sale on the "For Sale" link ... a fine range of prime primes!

m.l Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 Is MaxxumEyes quitting Minolta altogether? All his lenses were for sale this weekend... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris_at_vividoptic.com Posted March 12, 2006 Author Share Posted March 12, 2006 NO FEAR - thats me by the way. VividOptic/MaxxumEyes/dcap - all the same old Chris ... dynaxcap.com explains it all. Pic-a-day project running since 01-Jan-06 too. They were "just" my test lenses that I sold, 13x wonderful CHUNKS of glass. Okay, some/most bought to keep (was going to keep 7/9/10 of them at one point) ... couple just for review. But it was time to sell them on. And a fun sale it was, some 300 e-mails it took to move them all on. Gone to good homes all over the world. Well they will do with my visits to the post office on Mon/Tue/Wed/Thu lunch!! I kept: - 24/2.8 NewRS, not as sharp as the 20 or the 28/2 but plenty sharp enough, won on size and the NewRS version is circular ap. - 50/1.4 NewRS, I actually BOUGHT in the middle of all this! - 100/2.8 Soft Focus (for use as a normal 100mm lens) - 300/2.8 APO G I think four lenses is the minimum for me in prime. Considering selling the 100/2.8 softy and then get the STF 135 instead. Dunno, the 100 is great, a lot smaller and cheaper (well I have it already, so no hunt needed). Lens Duals to follow soon: - 24/2.8 original vs 24/2.8 NewRS - 50/1.4 original vs 50/1.4 NewRS - then I'll sell the two originals? Or maybe the NewRSs? And at the same time I shall track down a 24-50/4 original to run up against them. Will keep this forum posted with the review Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrew robertson Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 You can always get the Tamron for even less. They are the exact same lens after all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
