Originally posted by Lukinosity Frankly, the deal is still quite good with everything being thrown in. The internet mob mentality that leads to masses of people jumping on typos (even when the thread is actively discussing that the price seems too good to be true) and then acting entitled makes me a little bit sick.
Wrong. The deal is only "average" without the lens. The same "bundle", less the lens, has been available on B&H for a couple months now. Plus, at B&H, you can add an AF-540 flash for just $70 more and they have a myriad of lenses at "bundle" prices, which makes them better than Adorama's.
Also, I didn't stumble on the deal here...I had already ordered the K-3/18-135 bundle last night before I came to the forums and saw that it had been posted here.
The "mob mentality" is all in your head. People who over-generalize the intentions of fellow photographers and the frustrations of honest, budget-minded consumers who place orders in "good faith" with "trusted" authorized retailers, only to have the retailer quietly attempt to dishonor the purchases on the basis of a typographical error when the same information is clearly stated in 3 different locations on the item page, "makes me a little bit sick"
I went to bed happy. I woke up excited. Now I'm frustrated. I thought I had a deal in the bag, now I'm not so sure. Your input wasn't constructive and the issue remains between Adorama and its "customers".
