Sebzy

YAY deposit paid and I'm on the waiting list for this beauty

Olympus E3 with 12-60 SWD lens

Hmmm

Grow up, kids

Mind me asking where and what price?

Sebzy

Conns in Dublin
Price to be seen but around €1700 - €1800
Body only €1400 - €1500

Buying Irish this time to ensure same day replacement. And free servicing


BTW: Price not from Conns but Olympus JP

Excellent, delighted to hear that. I was hearing rumours of a €2500 price point. I'll be joining you on that waiting list.

Be warned the waiting list is quite long as I've been told.
The price should be finalized by the end of the week anyway.

Launch events have been planned for
16th October 24:00 GMT in NYC (Press NDA)
17th October 06:00 GMT in Taiwan

It may be midday on the 17th or early morning on the 18th that it goes live on the web.

Was on order in one shop and they quoted 1964EUR (BodyOnly) so I moved it to somewhere else down the road and it's setting me back 1750EUR.

Stock has hit America/East but were still waiting here.

Should be here in about a week.

Sebzy

Olympus UK/GER are taking their time shipping to ireland so while i wait I took the plunge and grabbed the 35-100 f2 on ebay

Still quite steep in comparison to US prices. It's retailing there at $1700, which comes in around $1160.

I've noticed the prices of the older lenses has started to come down. Gonna grab the 11-22 once it drops below €500.

I know its waterproof an all but thats ...just..not..right.
Was it not sticky afterwards, even after rinsing it off?
Makes me cringe looking at it, like nails on a chalkboard....
