I believe others have purchased mainly from Amazon when they have the plan on offer, Adobe sometimes do as well.

Keep on buying, as you get a key code and apply this to your account. It works out cheaper than paying Adobe per month.

I recently did this on Amazon Prime day and purchased a 1 year plan for £80, price per month on an annual plan from Adobe is £10 / month which works out to be £120 over a year.

Happens almost always every Prime Day and Black Friday, so twice a year. And then it may be another or two random drops.

Hey guys,

I was about to buy a camera from E-Infinity but read a random comment on here that said if I contact P.anamoz they'll normally offer a discount, so they did but they are still £31 more than E-Infinity, is it worth paying the extra for them or is E-Infinity better?

Thanks

Why is the Pana shop banned on the forum?

E-Infinity have been fine for several lens purchases for me. I even sent a lens back and they replaced it no bother. Shipping is slow obviously.

I recently had a situation where a large piece of dust suddenly made an appearance under the front element of a lens that I'd only had since last October.
Not expecting this to be covered under the P........ Z warranty I was pleasantly surprised to receive an email from them advising me to take the lens to Fixation and get an estimate which they will then pay into my account. As far as I'm concerned the price difference is worth paying for the P........ Z item particularly as they often reduce the price of the item if requested.

That's very good to know, thanks

Did you have to pay for the repair first and then claim back the money?

I haven't taken it to Fixation yet, I'm going into London on Monday for a 50th anniversary graduation lunch so I'll take it in then.
P........ z have said that they will pay the full amount on receipt of the quotation.

I need to renew mine too, so I have set up an alert on Camelcamelcamel to let email me when the price drops to under £100.

Lightroom and Photoshop Photography plan is on sale for £89.99 at the rainforest.

Does anyone know if you can purchase multiple codes and add them all to your account or do you have to do it each time the subscription runs out?

you can certainly buy a code and add it to your existing plan before you current subscription runs out.

I believe Raymond is paid up to 2024 or something

Extra 10% off sony lens atm

Pick of the bunch is the Sony 24mm f1.4 GM, IMO one of the top 3 lens ever made for the FE mount. £1169.10 direct from Sony Centres

Something like that, i normally buy it on Prime Day or Black Friday. They drop to £90 about 2 to 3 times a year. I buy it every 6 months or 12 so it's stacked a few years ahead. There is a max number of years though you can stack.

Yeah same here, I paid £1,449. They normally dont drop as quick as that but dont regret it, loved every minute with the 24mm GM. Its sublime.

But £1169.10 direct from Sony is a steal atm.

Even cheaper at E infin, £929.

true but this is with sony warranty and the gap is as small as it ever will be.

Dont get me wrong, i quite often buy from p a n a moz and e infin when there are good savings to be had.
