Prices for the new Lenses in UK.

Hi all,

I was trying to find the prices for the new batch of lenses that are coming out soon, and stumbled upon prices from Park Cameras UK.

When you click on the details of the lens the price is TBC. But if you add it to your basket the price comes up.

Olympus ZUIKO DIGITAL ED 12-60mm f/2.8-4.0 SWD £599.99

Olympus ZUIKO DIGITAL ED 14-35mm f/2.0 SWD £399.99

Olympus ZUIKO DIGITAL ED 50-200mm F2.8-3.5 SWD £740

Olympus ZUIKO DIGITAL ED 70-300mm f/4.0-5.6 £399.99

Since the official pricing have yet to be confirmed, these are only approximate prices.

What do you guys/gals think?

Cheers.

I'm hopeful that the 12-60 will be that price but i think its optimistic. The 70-300 sounds about right to me. The 50-200 looks okay (but im not sure on what prices you guys are use to seeing in the UK), but the 14-35 price is ridiculous!!!

I may just go out and buy a crate of them if thats the case

Seems about double the price in Japan. Sucks a bit if it's true right?

the 12-60 + 70-300 seems a pretty good match (perhaps not regarding IQ...)

I think the £399 for the 70-300 is on the steep side....its only another £350 for the (no doubt be significantly superior) 50-200.

The 14-35 is obviously a mistake or a mistype by the OP.

Its not a typo....Park must have the wrong price for the lens.

But adding the 2x convertor to your shopping basket at Park reveals a price of £299.

Thats cheaper than the EC14 isn't it?

They've been like this for a couple of months now, I emailed them about it and all they said was that you could register an interest and they'll let you know the price when they know more, because I would really like the 14-35mm at that price!
