      Sightings are as rare as Tassie Tigers 😉 All recent 10% GC promotions at WW, it was impossible for me to find any at multiple Shopping centres I went to. Asked the staff, was told they sold out with no idea if they will get restocked. As soon as promotions ended, they magically reappeared LOL.
      You would have a lot more chances by price matching @ Sony store and wait for CR 12% cash back which happened several times this year, stack with Amex/Sony cash back offers.

      • ogiusa on 16/12/2022 - 11:00

        exactly my thoughts, the $2672.19 is with the "mythical" Woolies gift cards…

      • Blazin on 16/12/2022 - 12:15

        Great idea!
        Not in a rush to get one so just got Sony to price match it and is sitting in my cart.

    • shanlee on 16/12/2022 - 11:41

      Had plenty of $100 Him cards on wednesday evening (barkly sq). Not sure if its still available. But, havent seen any $500 GCs.

  • Farrba on 16/12/2022 - 10:24

    whats the best all around lens for this?

    • JS1 on 16/12/2022 - 10:30

      The Sigma 24-70mm f2.8 is a solid all-rounder. Tamron makes a similar lens that's lighter but doesn't go as wide and is slightly lower quality while Sony themselves make an extra heavy and more expensive, but arguably no-better 24-70.

      • eecan on 16/12/2022 - 10:41
        +3

        You seem to be describing the GM V1, the GM V2 is a big improvement over the V1 in basically every way. That being said there are diminishing returns, paying a lot of extra money for that small edge over the Sigma/Tamron.

    • dust on 16/12/2022 - 11:03

      Honestly I reckon it depends on what you shoot. A 24-70 is a good option but depending what you shoot more I think an argument could be made for a 35mm prime (in terms of price, size and bokeh/large aperture).

    • Secret ID on 16/12/2022 - 11:15

      You would only need Sony 24-70 f2.8 GMII (from personal experience).
      Got myself A7iv and this lens a couple of months ago. Definitely not the cheapest/best value lens, but after using it, can't complain and couldn't be happier and forgot how expensive it was compared to the third-party ones.

      • Farrba on 16/12/2022 - 11:52

        didnt realise its more expensive than the body😄

        • Secret ID on 16/12/2022 - 11:56

          Lol, in this case it is.
          Paid $3150 for the camera in September and thought it was a good deal.

        • dust on 16/12/2022 - 12:17
          +2

          The thing is you can have 10 lenses for a single body so the lenses quickly get more expensive than the body.

          The good thing is though a good lens will depreciate much less than a body so as long as it's in good condition, you can buy/sell lenses.

          • BlueGlowOne on 16/12/2022 - 13:18

            @dust: Buy once, cry once.

            Camera bodies may change hands but lens last longer. At one point I was using a 20-30 something year old Minolta Beercan with autofocus on a Sony DSLT camera body.

            If the lens is really good, resale prices can maintain close to purchase price or if you can snag it at a big enough discount it may even increase. This usually applies more so to in demand first party lens than third party.

    • npnp on 16/12/2022 - 11:20

      I would suggest a few depending on your liking,

      Tamron 20-40 mm F2.8 (if you're more into wide angle)
      Tamron 28-70 mm F2.8 mark ii (middle ground)
      Sigma 24-70 mm F2.8 (middle ground but heavier and a tad more expensive, better build than Tamron but picture quality would be pretty similar)
      Tamron 28-200 mm F2.8-5.6 (if you like super zooming without sacrificing too much on picture quality)

      There are so many primes as well depending on your preferred focal length, top of my list (light/portable, affordable but without sacrificing too much on optical quality)
      Samyang 24 mm F1.8
      Samyang 45 mm F1.8
      Sony 35 mm F1.8
      Sony Zeiss 55 mm F1.8
      Sony 85 mm F1.8

      All above are pretty sharp and produces really nice bokeh balls..

    • EnergicAU on 16/12/2022 - 11:32

      Surprised no one's mentioned.the Sony g 24-104 f4

      • shabaka on 16/12/2022 - 12:26
        +1

        yep that's the centerpiece of my kit. very solid and dependable lens for travel and whatever else life throws at you. it can get anything done well enough

        when I want dramatic portraits with dreamy bokeh I switch to Sony 85 1.8. cheap, solid, and fantastic IQ. best portraits ever, and doesn't weigh you down like 85/1.4 or 135/1.8 would

        when I want to travel light, I take Sony 40/2.5G. amazing IQ, light and built like tank (however that doesn't compare to Fujifilm WR primes, those can take some beating and I shot Fujifilm setup in pouring rain, no issues, with Sony I wouldn't dare). has great bokeh wide open for nice portraits (tight enough for great head and shoulders or from waist up), or stop down to 5.6 - 8 for fantastic daytime atmospheric shots.

      • dealsucker on 16/12/2022 - 14:02

        Exactly. Its one of the sharpest lens I have used and so versatile.

      • npnp on 17/12/2022 - 18:14

        I had 24-105 and compared that with my Tamron 28-200 before I ended up selling the Sony. They both were equally sharp (at 28 Tamron was sharper also F2.8 too, but Sony closed in by 50 mm, though Tamron held up strong all the way to 70 mm where they both were around F4. Then Sony takes the lead -albeit slightly - up to 105. Obviously Tamron goes all the way to 200 mm (still decently sharp). I sold Sony mainly due to dull colours it produced (Tamron colours are nice and contrasting). Also Sony doesn't have great close focus distance hence Tamron almost always had better bokeh even at 105 mm. Sony doesn't have F2.8 either, therefore can't beat Tamron at low light.
        Basically Tamron is sharper, lighter, had better colours and contrast, cheaper, better range and F2.8 so for me Sony had no appeal. 24 mm wide end is the only thing I miss about that lens.

    • chongsu on 16/12/2022 - 11:45

      Another vote for the tamron 28-75mm 2.8 g2. Value wise and ergonomics is bang on. Optically great and not a heavy beast like the sigma. Half the price of Sonys 24-70 v2.

      Can’t beat it really. Love using it for video work as well.

      Agree the Sony 24-70 f2.8 GMII would be a good choice.

      Looks like at JB you can get further 15% for Sony lenses if you buy a Sony camera, which makes the deal even sweeter.

      But can't find the Sony 24-70 f2.8 GMII on their website or the 70-200mm GMII.

      How long is a piece of string?

      I've been happy with the FE 24-105mm f4 G OSS. Compared to the 24-70 f2.8 I would prefer the extra reach and if I was shooting in low light I'd just bump the ISO up.

      That said, I wouldn't mind a prime like the 24mm f1.4.

      • Secret ID on 17/12/2022 - 01:44

      • Ferazzo on 16/12/2022 - 11:45

        I think it's best to do a click & collect, so you can use the coupon and the gift cards

      • TripleJJJ on 16/12/2022 - 11:52

        Just go the cashier, show the cashier the code. The cashier will apply the code for you.

    • stjep on 16/12/2022 - 11:46

      Aren't those limited to $200 per card, with the current Coles deal being a max of 5 cards? If you combine the Coles and Woolies deals it only takes it down to $2623.

  • gottadeal on 16/12/2022 - 11:40
    +1

    To me, making big purchases using gift cards is a dumb move, because you can only get back the money in the form of store credit or gift cards which strictly limits how you can use that money should you return the item. Unless you are certain you won't run into issues that require a return, but who can say that for sure?

    • Ferazzo on 16/12/2022 - 11:44

      If you can save $400, why not

      • gottadeal on 16/12/2022 - 11:48

        It's a balance and depends on what you can accept. But consider the scenario you end up with $2900 worth of gift cards when you can put that money to better use.

    This or a near new A7 III with a 50mm 1.4 GM lens for $3000?

    • dust on 16/12/2022 - 15:58

      If you mainly shoot photos the A7III is almost as good as the IV so depends on what you shoot.

      Personally I don't use the 50mm focal length that much though but I suppose you can flog it for another lens you might use more.

    • eecan on 16/12/2022 - 16:23

      The 50mm GM is F1.2? The 1.4 is a Zeiss. If it was actually the GM it would be a no brainer to just buy it and sell off whatever you didn't need.

    • Secret ID on 17/12/2022 - 01:54

      $3k isn't really "cheap/bargain". I'd not recommend spending that amount on 5 years old tech. Spend a little extra on the newer model and you'll be set for at least next 5-7 years.
