Who bought what lens(es) in the recent sale?

Marktax · 11-04-2014, 09:06 AM

As a rough gauge of the B&H/Adorama lens sale ending yesterday, would anyone like to mention what they might have acquired? I ordered the HD 35mm Ltd, macro from Adorama, the one Ltd. lens I did not yet have. Felt very compelled to buy the 300mm, but having the F*300, could not quite pull the trigger (which frankly I might yet do on Black Friday and sell the F*).

Did anyone else take advantage of those discounts, and for what lens?

HD 20-40 Limited silver from B&H.

Da 60-250 from B&H

Thanks Dennis and JR. The trend is what I'm trying to suss out. So far, three of the very premium lenses . . .

DA*60-250 from Adorama for me. Also, they had a $150 instant rebate on the AF540FGZ II flash, not sure if that was related to the same lens discounts but I jumped on that too.

The DA50/1.8 was not on the sale list, so I plan to seek it out on the extended Thanksgiving weekend (unless a bargain hits the Marketplace here

).
I did get a 20-40 just before this sale (open box, great price) so I'm switched over to Sell mode for a month.

I purchased the DA77 from B&H. Am very excited about that lens and was very happy B&H offered the sale.
Still reeling from the bizarre coda to that event, but hopefully will feel better once the lens arrives.

DA35 2.8 macro from Adorama. It was hard to justify adding another lens to my collection, but the macro capabilities in this focal length provided an excuse

I'm hoping that Mr frogoutofwater acted on my hints and got me either the 50-135 or the 200/f2.8 as a Christmas gift.

I ended up not getting anything-- my fiance wants a K-3 body, so I thought we'd wait until Black Friday to see if there are any good body + lens bundles.

Great decision!

FA77 Limited from B&H. Given free Priority shipping, $10 isn't even worth a phone call. I think it came in a Pentax Ricoh Imaging Co. box but there's a UPC sticker over the left side of the printing.
