      Did you miss the 20% off promotion on eBay with Teds? Only around $2100 at that time.

        WHY?!?!?!? WHY DID YOU HAVE TO SAY THAT.. hahahaha

        And yes.. obviously i missed it..

        • icecream on 23/06/2016 - 08:38

          Er….sorry to bring it up….

          I guess it won't be far to see another 20% off promo on eBay.

          If you are not desperate, may be it's worth to wait.

      lol I actually scanned my emails this morning and saw that they seem to have this sale every year at EOFY and Christmas. Thought it was about time, and then this popped up in my inbox.

      • DarkNexy on 22/06/2016 - 20:21

        yeh. wouldve assumed they be on sale nex week instead.

    You can get the 22/2 EF-M new on eBay for $150 after the Groupon voucher.

    • atlas on 22/06/2016 - 20:47

      What's this Groupon voucher you speak of?

      Edit: Never mind found it. Also found that eBay seller - ships from China so it would be a grey import. I'm looking for local stock.

        I got this lens for less than $110 (500RMB) last year in China. It is a tiny but firm lens. Grey import should be fine if you pay by paypal.

          Ditto, $106 delivered - it's OEM whitebox, but for $106 who cares. It's a nice lens, but I wouldn't pay local stock pricing for it.

    I am after the Batis and even with 10% it's way overpriced.

    B25 @ $1842 - http://www.digidirect.com.au/camera_lenses/zeiss/zeiss_batis…
    Teds is $1699 everyday low price - https://www.teds.com.au/zeiss-batis-25mm-f2-0-sony-e-mount

      You must realise that not every stock has to be cheaper than else where. But digidirect is generally cheaper than Teds, michaels, and other stores and that's where I got most of my gears.
      It comes down to what you need to get and do your homework.

      • syousef on 23/06/2016 - 16:03

        Looking at current prices I'm not so sure this is the case anymore. I bought a bunch of Canon gear from them a couple of Christmases ago and had no issues. 10% off along with Cashback from Canon was a real money saver. But you can't live in the past.

  • YellowKnight on 22/06/2016 - 20:46

    I was waiting for Digidirect to have their sale. They don't have many but this will have to do otherwise the wait isn't worth the savings.

    Not as good as their $50 of $200 https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/236686 or 20% off camera accessories https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/224746

    ARE YOU SERIOUS i bought a (profanity) lens on the weekend. And the salesperson added a filter to my order without asking me. When I asked about it, he pushed it, saying I need it.

        1. Two salespeople there gave me great advice and 2. I have since decided that I probably do need a filter and the price was ok considering it was local stock

          Why do you need a filter? What kind of filter was it? Sounds like a load of crap to me.

        • belongsinforums on 22/06/2016 - 23:11

          @Munki: "to protect the much more expensive lens". I suppose it's a bit like cheap insurance in a way, and they seem to be popular. Also read that the coat on a filter might only last a few years before screwing up autofocus. It's a popular Japanese brand, btw. $20 or so. Uv cut.

        • rpalmer on 23/06/2016 - 00:13
          +4

          @tomkun01:
          There's a fierce debate as to whether filters actually do anything to protect the lens glass.

          If you drop a lens hard enough onto a pointed rock it's going to smash the filter shards into the glass anyway.

          As for scratches, that isn't likely. But say somehow your keys rub against it, front glass lenses are surprisingly tough. Additionally it's astonishing how little impact scratches have on images produced. If you google it, there's plenty of sources that say the differences between a scratched up lens and brand new lens are indiscernible.

          You can probably tell I'm against using filters over lenses as protection.

          My biggest gripe is… you bought an expensive lens for its high quality glass producing great images. Why slap on a relatively crap piece of glass over that?

          Food for thought :)

        • Navgsc on 23/06/2016 - 03:03

          @rpalmer: Or buy a proper filter

        • cpho on 23/06/2016 - 08:47

          @rpalmer:

          Not OP, but I like to wash my (pentax) camera under the shower head when it gets dirty. Having a filter means I won't be washing off the coatings :)

          But I agree otherwise, filters don't really do much. Unless it's a ND or cpl..

        • mooboy on 23/06/2016 - 10:09

          @tomkun01:

          I agree with rpalmer on this one - what's point of buying an expensive lens to throw a crappy filter on the front.

          But, the most objectionable thing I find is he added the filter without asking. I like digi and have bought a lot of gear from them - but that is some pure bs salesmanship.

        • Munki on 23/06/2016 - 12:39

          @tomkun01: UV filters do absolutely nothing. I'd take the filter back and ask for a refund. Maybe mention how the rude sales person forced it on you as well.

          Go filter-less and stop babying your lenses. They're designed to take a bit of abuse.

        • belongsinforums on 23/06/2016 - 15:13

          @Munki: I already opened it and have it ready for my trip. Thank you for your insight! I probably won't buy another one. The salesperson in question set up my camera for me with recommended custom settings. I didn't purchase the camera from DD. Without him, I probably wouldn't have known about the intricacies of the settings, so I did feel obliged. Anyway, life goes on and the added protection might help if i sell the lens in the future.

        • syousef on 23/06/2016 - 16:08

          @rpalmer:

          I had a filter smash when a camera backpack was dropped from a station wagon tailgate. (It rolled out). The lens cap had become wedged in the filter and shattered. I've had online arguments with people about whether the lens front element would have shattered instead but I still say it saved me that lens.

          The real benefit to a protect filter is that I'm not scared to wipe the lens on my sleeve if it gets dirty. A secondary benefit - it improves resale as the front element is untarnished and literally won't get scratches.

          You don't need a super expensive filter but you don't want a dirt cheap Ebay special either. The run of the mill Hoya, Kenko and Massumi filters I've used have only ever affected my IQ noticably in night shooting or shooting straight into the sun as they do increase flare. Otherwise I don't have issues. On the other hand the $5 Massa filters I bought a bunch of on Ebay years ago turn the image into muddy unsharp crap.

        Same experience in Melbourne here. I had guys from Ted's saying Ryda is all grey stock and refusing to price match. Was annoying as they were the only one who had stock at the time. Luckily JB-hifi got the lens I wanted in a few days later and was actually cheaper than Ryda.

        Meanwhile Digi has price matched any other Aus dealer/site without issue.

    Couldn't wait any longer.. my CC was burning a hole in my pocket, so picked up a 100-400 II for $2455 from Teds Highpoint. They had one on display and were happy to let me hook it up to my Sony + MC11 and have a play. They were also happy to price match. They thought it was excellent seeing a little mirrorless hooked up to a big white. From a small play, the AF seems really quick, with a little bit of hunting going from close focus to far focus. And I LOVE THE WEIGHT. So small, so compact .. a pocket rocket..

    Also to those complaining about Digi service in Melbourne, just walk a block to Michael's - they will price match and the service is more than worth the quick walk for it.

    • mooboy on 27/06/2016 - 16:28

      Seems it is extended until midnight tonight.

      The problem I find at Michaels is the staff turnover is so high it's hard to get same salesman twice. And, as friendly as the ground staff is, the staff on the second floor, from my experience, are almost hostile in their indifference.

    • ca6leguy on 28/06/2016 - 05:43
