Was tempted to pull the trigger on this lens but decided to go with the Sony FE 16-35mm f/4 PZ G Lens instead as it better suits my needs.
However, $1911 for the 16-35mm f/2.8 GM is still the cheapest price around… albeit for a lens that is reportedly due for an update (mk2 version) this year.
You could also price-match at Sony Australia and receive 13% cashback through Cashrewards until the end of today (Wednesday) for an extra ~$250 saving.
To price-match at Sony Australia, you can live-chat from their site.
Depending on the agent, they might refuse as eBay coupon is required to get the price.
Shouldn't be too hard though. I've actually never had anyone reject an eBay coupon price match and I've probably submitted dozens of requests.
Was just based on their T&C's, never actually price-matched at Sony before.
Exclusions:
- Cashback, credit card/payment method rebates and coupon offers (eg: cashback or reduced price requiring a coupon or electronic codewords);
@RichardL: Yes their T&Cs say that but they completely disregard it in practice, have done it for years.
I just did. Got approved in 10 mins. Cashback tracked at $225
Nice coffee cup
Got any tips to get that dumb glass out of the way to get full use of this coffee cup?
I said to get the glass out the way, not my wife..
Excellent lens and price. I have one.
Sony FE 16-35mm f/4 PZ G Lens Is fantastic!
Awesome! 98% of the shots I take are landscapes at usually F8-16, so I think it better suits my purpose considering it's weight & the difference in cost (and possible resale value once the 16-35 f/2.8 MK2 is released).
Any deal for 70-200 GM2? thanks
Never any stock and super popular
its a good lens, versatile than 24-70 to me.
I also asked for a price match on 50 1.4 gm, &16xx.
To their credit, they've always accepted price matches I've submitted… even when using eBay Plus codes, or even when an item isn't currently in stock but available on back-order. Combined with the frequent 10-13% cashback & fast postage, it's a no-brainier.
Last time I purchased the Sony A7IV from Sony Store after a price match (plus Cashrewards), my cashback was rejected so I doubt this will go through now. Not something we should bank on?
My Sony A7IV purchase tracked (at 10% iirc) and was paid out so you should definitely follow that up!
I did… and this is what Cash rewards had to say:
I have investigated your purchase in the store's system and regret to inform you that Sony has declined your cashback. Just like you, we haven't received any payment for this sale.
Purchased yesterday, my cash back has not been tracked
How do you price-match at Sony Australia and get cashreward?
