Panasonic Lumix DMC-GX8


Did they explain what caused the issue? Glad that the turnaround time was relatively ok.
 

Deal alert!! B&h selling panasonic 25mm f1.7 for $99 USD + $4.81 shipping fee!!!

Unrelated to this thread lol.

But it's not very assuring that the lens dropped more than half its SRP before its launch. Sweats

I just ordered! Not much downside, only $100+ buy and try out :P

Unrelated to this thread. Your thread count says 6666 muahaha.

$99 is indeed a scary price. Consumers shld be happy though if the same happens here and if haven't bought yet.

Lol. Probably Black Friday is coming. Maybe that's why it's so cheap. And all the orders are back ordered. So I supposed we will only receive it in a few months time.

Panasonic seem to be pumping this lens out for some reason.
In Australia, the current promotion involves a free 25/1.7 with purchase of GF7, G7, GM5, GX8, GH4.
I was in Best Denki yesterday and saw that the 25/1.7 will also be free with at least the GF7 kit (claimable from Panasonic from December IIRC). It could also be free with other cameras but I'm not sure.

if that's the case we can expect oly also to rollback/giveaway their 25/1.8

So, you paid a total of USD100 for the lens and USD 5 for shipping, so total USD 105 ?

I don't know what is the street price in S'pore but USD105 sounds quite cheap leh, you bought from B&H ?

But if I already have the Leica 25mm F1.4, is this a good idea to just buy this lens for my wife's EM1 ? Thinking of buying now but all shops in Funan now close liao, so cannot check the price. Anyone knows what is the street price in S'pore ?

Thanks

Good for u that ur dial has been fixed without cost to u

Yes, Panasonic is gentleman, never once did they attempt to use the standard line "Sorry, this is not covered under the warranty because ... blah blah ...".

Kudos to Panasonic ... :thumbsup:
 

good thing it did not happened while covering a special event.

Actually happen oso nevermind. Not really an issue because the camera is still functionable. It is a cosmetic issue and of course if left as it is, one day the dial itself will also drop off ... :bsmilie::bsmilie::bsmilie:

Oops the guy at the counter say dunno but i forgot to ask the technician. But I suppose it must be the QC lah ... whether the QC in PRC is more lax than the QC in Japan, that I wouldn't know. I suppose if the QC is good, the screw wouldn't have come off for no reasons lah ...

Anyway, since I am the only one with this issue, I suppose mine must be an isolated case lah ...

Yeah, quite reasonable. No complains or whatsover from me ...
 

I bought it yesterday! Lens 99.99 usd, shippin 4.86 so almost 105 usd!

Yes..from b&h. Adorama also has usd99 price but shipping kills.
I have no idea how this lens performs but for the price, I think it's a no brainer... Don't think this lens is released in SG yet.

Thanks bro.

But how come when i went tobthe B&H website, it says that it's USD99 but it's a pre-order ?

That means we pay first but not getting the lens until stock arrives ?

Thanks
