          ISO happy to see this price but looks like they've pulled the shutter on the deal as the price has changed. While it's blurry if they'll honour it, their t&c's are quite focussed on reducing their exposure to losses from underpricing. Hope it's not all negative though and some of you score one..

    I was wondering why the site was so slow… must be because of all you OzB's.

    •  
      skinny on 04/08/2011 - 22:48

      Post it at OZB - That's one way of taking the site down!

      If you are looking for references, ask CATCHOFTHEDAY!

  •  
    skinny on 04/08/2011 - 22:50

    I suspect that site would like a few OZB to register. They can quitely refund tomorrow with a sorry and spam them with e-mails for life!

    Thanks OP.

    I just brought 2x of these lenses (nikon mount) + 2x Mack 7 yr Extended Int'l Warranty for Lens under $1000 (1017)for $402.14 AUD after credit card surcharge of 2%.

    Lets see what happens.
    Hope they honour the deal :)

    Lens = $70 each
    Extended Warranty = $40 each
    Shipping = $174.25

        ehau on 05/08/2011 - 01:35

        You can take it to a local mack service centre and they should repair it or send it off for repairs.
        So no need to send overseas for us aussie buyers

    Hmm. My comment is negged because I question that this is legit. I am in fact a photography enthusiast which tells me they aint going to be selling this at this price legitimately plus $125 postage is crazy. Will wait to see how this plays out. I suspect that this is one of those too good to be true bargains.

    Mugsy on 05/08/2011 - 08:34

    The last time I saw a lens ridiculously discounted on an online store was the Canon 85mm L. Ordered 2 and then was told it was below their cost and I got my money refunded (after having to call them up). Those were pre-OzB days from memory.

    It'll be interesting to see if anyone who put in an order will get this.

    I wouldn't have minded this lens. Would have made me reconsider going on another wildlife Safari. A 70-300mm lens was adequate but I wanted more reach for some shots.
