Anyone ever used this shop to purchase a lens? I was told in email that

They come in standard retail packaging along with the usual accessories and a 3 year warranty on cameras and lenses, all warranty work is carried out in the UK.

I am looking to purchase a lens but it's a grey import, though it would be saving me £260 for the lens I am after which is the Sony E 15mm F/1.4 G.

I was also looking at the Sony FE 14mm F/1.8 GM but is it worth the extra £400 over the 15mm F/1.4 G?

These will be used on my a6400.

 

[Lord Alibaski]

They get some great reviews, I've made my mind up and I'm getting the 15mm F/1.4 G it's a huge saving.

 

[Lord Alibaski]

I think the whole lineup of G lenses are meant to be very good, so it's a good choice!

I have the 70-350 which is a great G lens.

Just ordered the 15mm F/1.4 G with the money saved I can now grab a ND filter I only want the filter to protect the lens but I have also read somewhere that I will need a step up ring for this lens? but no idea what size I would need.

@ LiE

Already ordered it a couple of days ago it's only £14 more at cotswold.

 

[Lord Alibaski]

Well I'm on my 6th day after ordering and my order is still processing I was told

We are now processing your order for packaging. We will update you with tracking information in 4-7 days time. Please note that we are currently shipping orders in from our warehouse and we will update you with tracking information a couple of days before items arrive with us. Therefore the tracking information that we provide will not update on the courier's website for a few days after we send it to you. Once it does update then delivery is usually within 24-48 hours.

Will give it until Thursday and if it's still processing I will email them see what's going on.

 

[Lord Alibaski]

Yeah not expecting it now until after Easter break.

 

[Lord Alibaski]

Lens finally arrived today I can't believe how small it is even compared to the 18-135, think I will take it to Edinburgh next week with me give it a trial.

 

[Lord Alibaski]

Mine took a bit longer than expected but I did order it just before the Easter weekend. Only other issue I had was the security tab had been broken but when I asked David about this he just said the boxes may be opened to check contents before delivery.

The lens is immaculate so I have no worries elsewhere, would definitely use them again.
