[ Shopping ] - Where to buy Lumix G 20mm 1.7f pancake lens

[tomcat]

Parisilk has 1 set available. It is however an unbundled unit from a GF1 kit which the buyer only wanted the camera body but not the 20mm lens. Those who don't mind not getting the box can get it from them.

Hi all, does anyone knows if its cheaper to get this lens from Taipei or Hong Kong? And does panasonic have international warranty for a full year?

 

[tagclieg2]

Hi, I have checked in Taipei and HK in quite a no. of shops. Singapore is cheapest. John 3:16 I think is $580. MS Color $560? $520 - not sure.

MS Colour E-quote me $590. I bought at CP for the same price.

The Panny 20mm f1.7 is totally out of stock in singapore. I just checked with MS color and they quote me $599. I checked with Alan Photo also no stock. None of them had any idea new stock coming in. The guy at Alan Photo told me that Panny is trying not to bring in the lens to sell individually because it knew a lot of people are using it on the Olympus camera body. Anyway, I'll be travelling to japan in the coming week. I'll buy the 20mm f1.7 len from japan.

Hm.. so they are more in the business of selling body than lense... :think:

Anyone have any latest news which store has this lens in stock? Thanks.

 

[freezehell]

No stock for few months already according to one shop. Bad marketing strategy but it works for asian. Asians like hard to get things! Btw, this lens is always available on amazon.com.

Bought mine 2 weeks ago in Japan for 36,800 Yen = S$560 at Fujiya Camera in Nakano. Only two stops away from Shinjuku.
