Zuiko 1.4 TC - $149 AUD

[tcyimages]

I was at a local electronics retailer today, and I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw the sticker. Especially when the one under it read $799!

I know I might sound a bit silly for even asking, but at this price is it a good investment?!
The longest lens I own right now is the 40-150(mk I) but yeah . . .

Thoughts?

The last time I got a price that was similar it was an error - I should have just paid for it rather than seeking clarification...

The Olympus EC-14 is listed at $400 on B&H. Your price is simply outrageous!

Just make sure it is actually the EC-14 teleconverter, and not some knockoff or front telephoto magnifier or something for OM system.

see thats what I thought, I'd be able to at least sell it for about that price and make a decent margin if i don't use it haha

Oh it is definitely the real thing, sitting on top of its original box and had that lovely patchy metal texture - the same as on the 14-54 and other pro lenses.

PS. to Holgs: Even if it wasn't the correct price, thats the one which was printed so by law they have to give it to me since the descriptions were matching

The 1.4 isn't being discontinued is it?

In Victoria...

I'll be back there very soon, with my fingers crossed that no one else noticed it!

There is a massive one day sale on today, but I think that this wasn't a part of that sale either.

Goodluck aussies

edit There was only one on show, but maybe they had more, I didn't ask! When I go back ill see if its company wide.

ps. No no, not an EX-25 - it had lenses in it

I just bought the 70-300 for $299 in Sydney on Sunday- They were behind the counter on diispaly with very small text which made it hard to read so I also almost bought the EX25 extension thinking it was the pancake for $158. Happy with the zoom though as almost bought a used one on ebay that went for $480

So the story goes something like this:

It was the display model, had been there for a good two years+ (funnily enough it was there when i bought my E500, 25k shots ago lol) It is in perfect condition both aesthetically and optically.

The sticker on the box said $799.95
It scanned on the computer for $649.95
But the sticker said $149.95, so that is the price they gave it to me for

They told me that it was the only one in stock, possibly because they wouldn't want to lose another $500 lol It was from the Taylors Lakes store.

AND before I had a look at it I was helping another customer pondering a new DSLR purchase . . . pointing him towards an E-510 naturally

Goodluck to anyone else who could find an incorrectly ticket lens!
