WOW GUYS, THE UPTAKE RATE IS OFF THE CHARTS and we are going to run out of stock very shortly … please get in fast before the offer gets pulled.

Tamron Camera Lenses in Australia will be at the upcoming PMA Imaging & Entertainment Expo (Darling Harbour, NSW) along with all the regulars like Canon, Nikon, Olympus and Panasonic. To help any fence-sitters make up their mind about whether or not they are going to go down and check it out Tamron Australia will be giving away free Lowepro pouches and backpacks over the weekend of the show.

So go and register for the show (Sat 25th AND Sun 26th of June). And if you want a sweet Lowepro backpack head to the Tamron Australia facebook page and sign up for your coupon to redeem the bag.

www.facebook.com/tamron.au

mod - I've tried to clarify the title, that for those already going to the expo they can get this as a freebie

Also, the rep wrote that you can attend for free if you register beforehand:

Registration for the show if done before-hand is free. I suggest going through the Digital Camera Warehouse website to order tickets as they will be offering ticket-holders special discounts after the show.

      It's not a competition right… as it says, like to get a coupon to redeem a bag…

    • Jean-Baptiste on 14/06/2011 - 09:07

      This doesn't look a competition to me. Unless I'm missing something, it looks like they'll be giving one of these bags away to every person that attends. The rep should add the cost of admission to the description, though. The bag isn't really a freebie if you have to pay to get in.

    lolz

    u have to go to the fair
    but previously there was a place to sign up to go there for free
    so free + free

  • djones145 on 14/06/2011 - 09:25

    from reading the page
    i think the stand gives u a crap gift normally
    bring this voucher and u "upgrade" the free gift to a 85 buck lowenpro bag!

  • aurotaro on 14/06/2011 - 09:39

    im on facebook mobile website. I liked the page, but I don't see any coupon or form to fill out. Any help?

    Edit: Can someone provide a direct link to the coupon page? Unable to get onto normal facebook webpage from the iphone. Keeps reverting to the mobile page which doesn't show the form.

    • gmail92 on 14/06/2011 - 09:51

      its probably a flash form so you cant see it?

    • gmail92 on 14/06/2011 - 09:51

      and the coupon is emailed after you fill in the form, so bad luck i guess.

      • aurotaro on 14/06/2011 - 09:53

        oh well, time to try it on the opera browser.

    • Tenebrae on 14/06/2011 - 12:25

      Can't be viewed on Facebook Mobile, and no way to force the normal site to appear. Got to find a proper computer I'm afraid. =(

    This seems like one of those "up to …. value" promotions. I bet the bulk of attendees will get an iPod pouch or something, with the odd lucky person getting the $85 bag.

  • gstfree on 14/06/2011 - 10:06

    How many free bags are available? 10 or 100?
    Just be careful you may not get anything because nothing was left.

  • diamondtouch1 on 14/06/2011 - 10:11

    The bag looks alright. IMO if you've spent big bucks on your camera, why would you cheap out on the bag as well. I'd get a bag that doesn't scream to thieves "look at me, look at me! Expensive camera stuff!" - this lowepro bag might have TAMRON branding all over.

    • djones145 on 14/06/2011 - 10:18

      the bag looks thin, doesn't look like a camera bag hmm
      looks more like a laptop bag (doesnt have the slots for the camera or lens)

      • JTL on 14/06/2011 - 10:34

        Correct - according to the FB page…the bag is this one -

        http://products.lowepro.com/product/Backpack-Factor,1909.htm

        It is a notebook case rather than a camera bag

        No complaints though! Free is always good =P

        • kasumi on 14/06/2011 - 10:41

          yes, free is good, although if you're exhibiting at a Camera/imaging exhibition, wouldn't you be giving away camera bags instead of laptop bags??

          Oh well… we have a Lowepro bag anyway…

          aaahh
          wish it was a sig bag
          that bag looks qeird as a back pack
          but its free so who cares!

    This deal is good. Registered as hobbyist for free at http://www.infosalons.com.au/pma11S/register.asp

    then visited facebook.com/tamron.au and 'liked' the page and now I have a voucher for a free bag. For all those doomsayers and negative commenters, it's not a competition, it's a promo to get people to Tamron's facebook page. They can count how many people get vouchers, so they can count how many bags to bring to the expo. Not rocket science, and NOT a competition.

  • dealsniper on 14/06/2011 - 10:23

    do you need to enter real address? do we need to receive the voucher(entry ticket) via mail or email? thanks

    • kasumi on 14/06/2011 - 10:39

    Awesome! Can't complain, as entry to the expo is free as well!

  • watwatwat on 14/06/2011 - 10:43

    Where does it say anything about a free backpack? All I see is the free pouch for ipod/phone.

    Also what does this mean: "Entrance to the exhibition is granted on the basis that no Touting or Hawking activity is permitted." ?

    • tron07 on 14/06/2011 - 10:51

      You will need to click "like" then it will change from the free pouch to the free bag. This is cool deal, though you need to go there and collect it yourself.

    • oz-dxer on 14/06/2011 - 10:54

      Just you are not meant to attend to promote anything for personal or commercial gain.
      For that you need to pay an exorbanant amount of $$$$ to have a display stand

  • mily on 14/06/2011 - 10:48

    Not sure if I can show up that day, but hey this seems to be a real freebie.

  • sickburn on 14/06/2011 - 10:52

    I got two emails from Tamron; the first I believe is for a free phone/iPod pouch, but the second email is an "upgrade" to the freebie, which I am assuming is for the LowePro backpack.

    f**** hell. no facebook at work and website wont work from mobile. dammit.

      • aurotaro on 14/06/2011 - 11:15

        sounded a bit desperate didn't it. haha. nah its only because I was going in over this weekend to get a new camera bag so thought this would be excellent for my needs :)

    Looks good but when I liked then entered my details I got a message saying that there was a problem sending my email and that I was to ring the number "1300 882 517" to talk about it.

    When I tried to re-register, it said that my email address was already in use.

    • Matador_OZ on 14/06/2011 - 11:27

      same

      • eccentriq on 14/06/2011 - 11:31

        tried to call that number, it rings out… i think this promotion is at the end of it's life.

  • Matador_OZ on 14/06/2011 - 11:26

    I got a message that there was an issue sending an email
    'There was an issue sending your email. Please phone Maxwell International Australia on 1300 882 517.'
    And if you try the form again then it tells me that the email has already been used.

    • Associatedbdanl @ Uploaded Files on 14/06/2011 - 12:13

      Hit Tamron up on the Facebook wall rather than calling that number, they'll get back to you quicker.

  • tulkn on 14/06/2011 - 11:28

    Hmmm, doesn't seem to work. I get an error after filling out their form telling me they can't send me an email and to call them. Has it run out perhaps?

    On their FB page, Tamron made this comment 7 mins ago: "Hey Guys … we've just had a flood of calls and forms coming in, so we are frantically working on fixing some small bugs you are experiencing … please bear with us for a moment .. hope to have it all fixed quick smart".

    Looks like there's still a chance to grab one.

    I managed to get a coupon this morning. For those on iPhones, if you switch to the desktop facebook website you can access the form from Tamron's main page.

  • CyberMurning on 14/06/2011 - 12:07

    yes desktop version on iphone works, i filled the form hit submit then the screen just blank white.

  • SmiTTy on 14/06/2011 - 12:22

    I get a blank page after submission

    • agwang on 14/06/2011 - 12:50

      Me too. I filled out the form about 40 mins ago and was left with a blank screen afterwards. When I tried to refresh it to enter it, it said my email was already registered …… Don't know what it means….

    GOOONEE:

    "UPDATE: We're sorry a few people have had email problems in claiming the coupon via email. We have officially run out of bags, but we will be sending an email confirmation to everyone with another copy of their coupon. So if anyone had a message where it stated the email address was already registered you will receive another copy later today."

  • Gnat on 14/06/2011 - 12:52

    wow that went fast

  • compingqueen on 14/06/2011 - 13:00

    There's going to be another freebie though. A video bag judging by the votes on their poll, don't know how much it's worth but they're probably going to put it up later.

  • Gnat on 14/06/2011 - 13:06

    Are the coupons unique?

    • mily on 14/06/2011 - 13:26

      Yes, it has a unique claim number

  • ViperAMD on 14/06/2011 - 15:12

    Damn! Missed out on this.

    I am actually attending this event, if anybody got a unique code and end up not attending, I would greatly appreciate if you PM me.. Thanks so much!

    • ChadHominem on 14/06/2011 - 15:22

      I second that! Wish I had checked ozbargain earlier.

  • supersabroso on 14/06/2011 - 19:48

    "mod - I've tried to clarify the title, that for those already going to the expo they can get this as a freebie"

    I'm not sure what that means. I'm one of the people that signed up but got the error sending your email message. I still haven't received any emails as of yet. Reading that statement it almost seems as if regardless of whether the facebook thing was done in time or not, anyone who has already signed up for the actual expo can get this bag at the expo?

    • fatal on 15/06/2011 - 12:04

      Everyone going to the expo can grab a freebie.. but to get the bag worth $85, you need the voucher from this.

      • supersabroso on 15/06/2011 - 19:20

        Thanks, after re-reading it I now understand it properly. I think the OP meant that this isn't some freebie that you can just obtain, you have to actually go there to get it (of course with the voucher).

        Got the email today. Thanks Tamron! See you in 1.5 weeks lol. What's with the "a few weeks" that other people are talking about?

  • Matador_OZ on 15/06/2011 - 09:40

    Excellent got the email this morning, thanks Tamron man. will see you in a couple of weeks

  • CyberMurning on 15/06/2011 - 12:20

    so, if i get the email saying

    "thanks xxx for liking us on Facebook – you've upgraded your free gift from Tamron Australia at the PMA Imaging and Entertainment Expo! "

    does it means i will get a bag? or some other freebies?

  • racka on 15/06/2011 - 12:34

    if you read the bottom of the email it says:

    1. Only one coupon/bag redeemable per person
    2. Choice of bag colour is subject to stock availability

    so, it seem you will get a bag :P

  • lxstr on 15/06/2011 - 12:37

    BTW, anyone who registered but did not receive the email.
    Go check your SPAM folder, coz Gmail classified it as SPAM

    wooo go freebie

  • CyberMurning on 16/06/2011 - 10:57

    OP, can you confirm everyone who got email will be guaranteed to receive a bag? or it will be subject to availability ?

  • g12345567 on 25/06/2011 - 13:24

    My parents just got back from the expo. And they got there free lowepro backpack upgrade.

  • kasumi on 25/06/2011 - 15:05

    I got the lowepro bag too - Lowepro backpack Factor,
    and picked up a freebie pouch - Tasca 20 and Tasca 30 - I'm assuming this would be the normal gift if you didn't get the upgrade voucher

    http://products.lowepro.com/product/Tasca-30,2108,25.htm
    http://products.lowepro.com/product/Tasca-20,2099,25.htm

    They were marking off people's name against the unique #. i guess they didn't want people photocopying their friend's voucher and trying to claim the bag

  • mister_snrub on 26/06/2011 - 13:38

    Today they had run out of the backpack, but they had these messenger bags instead:
    http://products.lowepro.com/product/Exchange-Messenger,2189,…
    Much more useful, I reckon.

    They also gave the choice of these tote bags:
    http://products.lowepro.com/product/Tote-Factor,2059,35.htm
    But they are more for the ladies, I think.

    Good freebie, and much appreciated.

  • Michaelz101 on 26/06/2011 - 15:07

    They ran out of messenger bags, got a torte factor for the wife instead. Thanks OP !

  • supersabroso on 26/06/2011 - 16:34

    Yeah I chose the messenger bag because the tote bag was only good for a 14" laptop.

  • gmail92 on 26/06/2011 - 21:19

    I ended up with the tote bag if anyone wants to swap, doesn't fit my 15inch :(

  • aurotaro on 28/06/2011 - 10:17

    If anyone wants to swap their backpacks with a messenger bag, let know!
