    Just a quick question, any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I'm looking to buy this lens online http://www.amazon.co.uk/Nikon-50mm-F1-4G-AF-S-Nikkor/dp/B001GCVA0U,

    It doesn't necessarily have to be Nikon branded.

    Is there any chance it might show up in the Amazon black Friday sales at some stage or should I just order this one?

    Thanks!

    Does it have to be 1.4? The 1.8 costs half as much - http://amzn.to/1FtuApw.

    Check YouTube (Digital Rev and Matt Granger) for comparisons. Also look for a Sigma 50mm 1.4.

    Here is another place (Camera World UK) delivering a refurb model (Usually Just Brand New with an open box!) for the same price £199 with the VR (Image Stabilising) Lens. 6 Month Warranty included too!

    May have to be delivered through Parcel Motel. Just as good a deal imo.

    They've changed the offer- packaging it with the 18-55mm lens and a separate 55-200mm now for £269

    Seems like remarkably good value!

    With Check & Reserve, you can make sure it's ready for you before you leave home! If items are in stock when you place your reservation, they will be held in store for you until the end of the next working day.

    http://www.argos.ie/static/StaticDisplay/includeName/Reserving.htm

    Worth a try if it says 28th on the reservation.

    Same website states
    "Please note that our prices change, sometimes on a daily basis. The price you pay is the price in store on the day you collect your items."

    I'm not holding my breath...

    Are you sure about that reservation? I've never seen one extend beyond next day COB.

    Some of these are on adverts. Price is bumped up, but there should be room for negotiation IMHO as there is a €25 Nikon rebate and €10 Argos gift card with them.

    Yes, seen some of them alright.

    Just got a text from argos saying my item is available to collect by close of today - note when I reserved - none were in stock, so they did have to order one in, I will call in later and who knows i might get lucky..

    Actually it should work if you the email with the lower price printed on it, and date was in the period when it was cheaper! I had same situation with an iPad Air, no stock in Liffey valley but could be ordered in, so by the time I went to collect price had gone up around €60 I went in and they honoured the lower price, team leader came over and approved the price change, and got it at lower price 4 days after the deal finished! Best of luck!

    So I got the camera at the reduced. happy days.
    The girl on the counter called over the manager when she noticed the price difference and she said it was most likely a mistake (possibly Sterling price - happening alot) but would honour the price.
    On top of that I got the 10 euro voucher for spending over 100euro.
    note: I brought in a copy of the email in which I think definitely helped

    Well done enjoy the camera! It's good to know that Argos honour the reservations even items ordered in at the lower price.

    I never seen a reservation going past the COB on the following day, apart from the fact that they were well gone at the time you reserved. Only way to get it for a longer period is to reserve on a sat morning, thus ensuring you have until COB Monday to grab it.

    You were very lucky. Well done.

    I think it was the fact that it had to be ordered in, that swung it for the poster- to be honest. Its something I've made a mental note of- and intend to use at a future point (if any such offers arise)

    If anyone spots any good lense deals over the Black Friday weekend or beyone, be sure to let us all know. I'd recommend everyone picking up the 50mm f1.8 lens, amazing addition to your kit for one of the lower priced lenses.

    Would recommend the 35mm over the 50mm on the cropped body as the 50 can be a little close

    Argos have it @ 364 with the Nikon accessories pack (allegedly worth another 100), the 25 Euro back from Nikon when you register the warranty, and a 10 Euro gift card from Argos........

    Probably as good as its going to get- and to be honest- it is quite reasonable at this price- if you can find stock.........

    Properly against forum rules? but I bought this camera on a whim but now decided to keep my old camera. I am willing to sell it at €269.99 plus a Sanisk Ultra 32GB card at €26.66 (Must go together). I am not looking to make a profit, this is what I paid and the receipt will be given to show this. Brand New never opened with the seal on the box, PM if interested.
