Now that’s more like it!
two days after I get one… >.<
I just ordered it 8 days ago on amazon. They just issued me a refund after chatting online with them.
🙁
Lets hope we see the same savings on the other side of the pond too. I’ve been waiting for this to come down in price.
Any chance we can remove the B&H links until they start treating their employee’s correct? http://america.aljazeera.com/multimedia/2015/10/bh-workers-claim-discrimination-unsafe-standards1.html
Wow, didn’t know about this. Awful stuff. Thanks for the heads up. I agree, remove the links until things have improved drastically. I was just going to order lots of stuff but will take my business elsewhere.
I would need to see this from a few publishers I’ve heard of before taking it as fact. I’m sure the unions and liberal media would want to use this a poster child if true. I’ll wait for more info before I make any judgements.
Stop it. Your antisemitic racism has no place here.
Are you replying to me or to poopchute?
Or we could wait until we know more. Jumping to conclusions based on reports from one news outlet isn’t usually the best way to go.
Even if we are jumping to conclusions, do we really want to take a chance on further promoting this if it is true? If not, what do we really lose out on?
Dont forget this is a muslim media writing against jewish bussines, so this is not pure objective info.
This article mentions absolutely nothing about religion. Almost all of the workers that have brought complaints have been Hispanic. Racism and religion have nothing to do with this. Migrant workers get treated like shit regularly. If you don’t believe me, come down to Texas.
edit: also, heres a NY Times article on the same thing http://www.nytimes.com/2015/10/14/nyregion/workers-at-bh-photo-video-citing-hazards-move-to-unionize.html?_r=0
Well 1) it shows how willing you are to be completely sucked in by racism, 2) it shows how superficial you are by deciding that you know better than regulatory agencies, 3) it shows how anti-worker you are by trying to put the workers out of a job. That’s right, you put the employer out of business then all the workers lose their jobs and then earn zero. But then, you would be happy with that too I imagine.
I guess I’m confused how you think its racist for me to post an article about wanting workers to be treated properly. In fact, its literally the opposite. I’m not even going to respond to the other two because either 1) You are a troll, 2) Your arguments against my intentions are goofy at best.

Super sharp, f/1.7, OIS for $300. Sold.
kenmore camera on ebay is actually selling the 42.5mm for 299 with a free hoya uv filter. Plus ebay bucks etc… it’s actually a better deal than buying from BHphoto. They are panasonic authorized retailer also, so you are not loosing anything in term of warranty.
Has anyone here compared this 42.5 f/1.7 lens with the f/1.2 Nocticron lens? The price difference is so massive that I wonder about this new 42.5 lens. Thanks.
