Nikon D600 + lenses - Any great deals??

lightningben on 24/02/2013 - 07:13

G'day,

I'm looking to buy a Nikon D600 with hopefully a Nikon 28 - 300 lens and possibly a Nikon 50mm lens as well.

Has anybody seen any good deals for any of these components anywhere?

I would look around myself but live on a small isolated island, so have to rely on internet shopping!

Regards,
Ben

    Check DD electronic.
    go for 85mm 1.8G would be better.

      Why would it be better? If I were looking for a 50mm prime lens, I would know why I wanted that size. I'ts a bit presumptuous to tell someone what they should use without knowing their needs. People might use a 35mm if they want to mimic the eye's field of view, 50mm is flattering for portraits etc. Care to elaborate why your suggestion is better?

    Thanks for the reply - I was also hoping to purchase Australian Stock not Grey Imports.

    I'm also interested in why you recommend a 85mm lens?

      If you have to ask, maybe you shouldn't be buying D600.
      And I don't think 28-300 would be real good with D600. Go for standard zoom lens.

        Well, I was simply interested to hear the reasons why they thought 85mm was better.

        And the 28-300 is ridiculously awesome for this camera - it came HIGHLY recommended and I have absolutely no regrets.

          bigger aperture. Awesome for portrait lens.

    I posted a very similar topic today, just found this.

    What did you end up getting?

    • lightningben on 16/03/2013 - 06:54

      I ended up getting:
      Nikon D600 Digital SLR Camera Body
      Nikon AF-S 50mm F/1.4 G Lens
      Nikon AF-S 28-300/3.5-5.6 IF ED VR Lens
      Nikon EN-EL15 Battery (spare)
      Hoya HMC UV Filter - 77mm For AFS28-300 Lens
      Hoya HMC UV Filter - 58mm For AFS50
      F1.4G Lens Sandisk Extreme Pro 95MBs 16 GB Secure Digital Card

      I got it from Nikon on Broadway - absolutely fabulous customer service. Highly recommended. Thanks ynot1985 for the tip.

      I was thinking of getting just the 50mm F/1.8 which is about half the price of the 1.4 but then I thought I'm spending a significant amount already why not get one that's even better in lower light conditions.

      All australian stock with 2 year Australian warranty.

      Price for the D600 was the best I could find for Australian stock too - $2075.
