Olympus M.Zuiko 45mm F1.8 $249 (w/$50 cash back)+ $17.99 Postage AND E-M5+3 Lens $899+ Postage

380

Recently looking for a cheap olympus portrait lens for my friend and find this deal.
I think this is the cheapest price at the moment and the lens comes with 1-year warranty.
But seems like you can't choose the lens colour.

Specifications:

Lens type: Portrait Prime
Lens mount: Micro Four Thirds
Focal Length: 45mm
35mm Equivalent Focal Length: 90mm
Maximum Aperture: f1.8
Filter Size: 37mm
Weight: 115g

Also if anyone is looking for the olympus em-5 triple lens deal, check the below deal from their website.
The store is selling $899 + 17.99 shipping, which seems to be the cheapest olympus triple lens deal.

  • grey import?

    • They offer TRS so one would assume Australian stock

    Am i missing something here about all these cheap perth camera deals? Did an Olympus ship just sink off the coast on route from Singapore or something?

    • If an Olympus ship sunk off the coast, the prices would increase, not decrease.

    • Saw that on front page, nice also :)

    Mmm I already have a 20mm 1.7 not sure if i need this one.. the price.

    • +1

      If you are considering the price, I think this is pretty good deal.
      Even those grey importers on ebay are selling higher than this.
      And people on gumtree are selling $250 for an used one.

      Many people have prime lenses in different ranges~ 35mm 50mm 85mm 135mm
      Depending what are you going to shoot. Normally a tele prime lens is better for portrait
      20mm equivalent to 40mm in 35mm format
      45mm equivalent to 90mm in 35mm format

      • "tele prime"???

        tele or prime…

        • +2

          He's correct - a tele-prime is best for portraits. It's not "one or the other" - you can have a prime lens with a long focal length = tele-prime.

    • +1

      Do you even know what focal length is?

    • you need this one…also get another camera so you don't need to swap lenses

  • Nice find OP.
    I've been waiting for these to drop in price for a while. I think I'll go for the one you originally posted. Can't justify the triple pack with the amount of use my OMD-EM5 gets…

  • price went up to $229

    • I made a typo.
      It supposed to be $229 orginially

      • Yeah add GST and the total actually comes to $251.65

        • So $229 is excluding GST?

        • +1

          Nope, its $246.99 delivered to Sydney with GST included.

        • I saw the same but then when I went to 3rd page it came up as $251.65…weird.
          Surcharge for paypal?

  • So close, but think I'll skip.

    Wish someone could do EM-5 body + 45mm F1.8 for sub $600, I'd be all over that.

  • want a em-5 body + pro lens kit. will decide on prime lens later

  • Wow! I was all set on the 25mm but this is too cheap to pass up

  • Be careful, choosing Paypal as payment will increase price to $251.65 instead of $246.99 delivered to Sydney.

    Can't find mention of PayPal surcharge on the site.

  • I guess it's a matter of whether the triple points collected on my Amex pays for the extra $5…hmmm

  • Beware of buying other Olympus m43 lenses on this site - they are VERY overpriced!

  • Found this in their FAQs:

    Any charges for using my credit card?

    Only Amex cards incur a 2% have a surcharge.

  • +1

    I need to buy something else for $50 to get a $300 invoice for TRS. Suggestions?

    How is this bag for EM-10 + spare 1/2 lenses?

    http://plazacameras.com.au/photo-accessories/camera-bags-cas…

    • Haha I'm trying to do the same thing! Ill keep you posted

      • Thanks! I can't find anything :O

        • Extra $38 for the genuine hood for this lens? http://plazacameras.com.au/dslm-cameras-mirrorless/olympus-c…

          Although there are eBay knock offs for around $10-15

        • @clarky:
          Heh - do you even need a hood? I would have got a battery except it's $89 :/
          Again can get knock offs for like $20

        • +1

          @cyrax83: Hoods prevent flare/sun and give you cover from light rain and make it look cool!

      • If I want to get the trs. I need to buy goods more than $300 right ?

        Is the postage eligible to get the trs?
        Because I am not too sure, which I need to buy $71 on other goods or just $50 ?

    • Buy a spare battery. It's always good to have a spare.

    • 37mm Generic UV filter @ $29.90?

    • I think one of these bags could be best bet - prehaps a Lowepro 120 or 140

      http://plazacameras.com.au/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=3…

      edit: bought the lowepro rezo 120 + lens

  • Bought the 45 f1.8 Price of $229 + $17.99 but final charge $251.65 Bit strange.

  • Hi Guys,

    Thank you for the interest in our stock.

    I can assure you that all our Olympus stock is purchased from Olympus Australia and in NOT GRAY IMPORT. It all come with Australian warranty.
    At this stage we are sold out of the 45mm Zuiko 1.8 due to a current promotion. We are expecting significant quantities in the next week.

    Your question about the fees not adding up… Paypal charge a service fee. You can pay via EFT direct debit to avoid this fee.

  • Will this be impacting those people that have already ordered earlier today?

  • Hi Muzzy,

    Unfortunately if an order is placed today it will not be shipped until mid/late next week we expect. The stock is in transit from Sydney as we speak.

    • Hi Cameron,

      Would this lens be available in black?

      Cheers,

    • Hi Cameron,

      Im from Sydney, can i pick it up here anywhere for that price here and save on the shipping?

      • Hi Clarky.
        Our only store is located in Perth. So unfortunately there is no collection point in Sydney.

        you can save a few dollars by paying via direct bank deposit thus avoiding the paypal fee

  • Thanks for the question Rarin,

    Good news is all these lenses selling at this price are Black. In my opinion they are far nicer looking on both black and silver bodies.

    • Description said Silver. Luckily - I prefer the black :)

  • Great price, I got it for $380 from jb hifi this year when the $50 cash back was on ($330 total)…this certainly trumps that…ordered one for the misses, happy to wait as it can be an xmas present. She will now have 3 lenses and not have used the camera. ;P

    Wow even better than the $275 one posted a couple of days ago.

    Any good deals on a 25mm one though?

    Damn I placed an order for a grey import one last Friday for $297 which still hasn't arrived yet! Would have preferred this deal and to support Plaza who have been around for forever. I remember buying my first Canon Film SLR from these guys 15 years ago.

    • +1

      It's even cheaper now with $50 cash back!

  • Thanks plaza all arrived 25 and 45mm. Cash back makes this deal amazing

  • Any difference between Olympus M.Zuiko 45mm f/1.8 and Olympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 45mm f/1.8 ?
