SEL 35mm f/1.8 OSS


wow.. didnt know HN actually stock up this lens.... May I know is it retail price ? or can nego ?

Not sure about other HN, but the HN at funan has undergone a renovation and you can see they do carry quite a few sony lens in their display (in their camera sections). In a way, the HN at funan is like a camera shop). Thus, I am not surprised that they will carry this lens.

ps: all the HN that I been to/ask can nego :) (just have to find the right people for the best nego price).
 

There is no shop selling the unit for less than 629sgd. It makes no sense. I think those unfortunate ones who did not secure the lens will have to wait 2-3mos for the re-stock

Lol.. y doesn't it make sense? i bought my nex 5R way below suggested retail price as well.. :dunno:
 

Hello...

I bought mine from Click @ funan just now. and is the last piece else have to wait til next jan.
and is below the rp. (not sure can post the price i bought ).
 

HN have stocks for the latest E mount lens, including 35F18 and 1018F4.

Sony listed 1018F4 @ S$1199. I got the lens from HN @ Raffles city for S$1099. That is what they quote me directly from the system. I just buy it from them since the price is very close to MS color and best, you can pay by CC.

And for those who want to get the lens from SONY STYLE shops... remember to ask for best pricing. The SONY STYLE shop in marina square gave me a diff pricing when i requested for a best price for the 1018F4 lens. I wont be surprise they are selling 35F18 at below S$629 if you open your mouth and ask.
 

Im only talking about the 35mm. The 10-18mm you can get cheaper because it was released a month ago and most of the shops have stock.

This 35mm is selling for S$5XX at MS, Click, AP etc. So i don't know why you say it make no sense to sell below S$629.
 

Alan photo funan selling $550. But no more stocks.
 

I realise that sometimes, when there's no stock, some shops quote lower. :confused:
 

Is it...i never encounter before. The uncle who quoted me this ask me to go back next week find him for this pricing for the 35mm. Haha.
 

i just checked with hn jurong point, left one at suntec outlet
 

Moving on...

After shooting with the lens for a week, ive noticed a flaw in the lens.
There is a distortion in the upper left area of my photos.
 

Thanks for moving on from the price discussion. Just buy if keen. There will always be difference in prices as all shops have different pricing strategy. The SRP is $629 which some of us bought it for, which is the highest price that you can pay for this. You can probably get it a lot lower around $550 plus minus, or wait for me to sell mine at a lower price!

This is just like the CZ24mm f1.8 when it is newly launched, which is SRP for $1,699. You can get this easily at around $1,350 plus minus.

Back to the distortion findings.

What settings do you get this? Wide open at f1.8?

Will test mine later.
