Sony Lens E Mount (NEX) 50mm f/1.8 OSS - SEL50F18b for $199 +shipping (maybe store pick up) @ Bing Lee

Hi folks. I didn't post this as a bargain as I think there is limited stock available.

I've been looking for a good prime lens for my Sony NEX-F3 for a little while but the Sony lenses are so damned expensive. I did another Google search yesterday and the above lens came up at Videopro and Bing Lee for $198 and $199 respectively. Videopro have free shipping until 31 Jan but unfortunately have no stock and won't have stock until end Feb. Clicking the Bing Lee link takes you to a 'page not found' on their website. I thought I'd call them to check anyway and they have a few in stock that can be ordered over the phone. Delivery to Perth is $15. Not sure about other locations but I expect $15 is the most you'd pay.

The next cheapest was about $253 + $49 shipping from Camera Paradise, which is imported grey market stock. The RRP for the lens is $399 and you won't find it for much less than that from a local retailer selling Australian stock.

This is a highly regarded lens (do a search) and the Bing Lee price is about as cheap as you'll ever find it. There are silver and black versions of this lens. I prefer the black, which is what I bought from Bing Lee. I don't know if they have the silver.

If you're a NEX camera owner after a prime lens, this is a cracker of a deal.

  • I called Bing Lee but they have advised they don't have any online stock. :(

    • Oh bugger! Either they got ozbargained after my post or they really did have limited stock. You could try calling VideoPro and seeing what the deal is with the end of Feb delivery. They might have a sneaky stash of stock they can swing you.
