Today we had the sixth GF Gold Box deal in row and I didn’t even bother to mention it. I guess you already know that the GF series is heavily discounted. Panasonic may need to clear their Stock before the next GF7 announcement. So let’s talk about new deals. The 35-100mm X lens got the first small $55 discount via trusted reseller Panacam at Amazon (Click here). And they also sell the 12-35mm X lens for $1,039 (Click here).
The most interesting ongoing deals is the GX1 with X zoom kit at Amazon and Bhphoto for $499.
Reminder: E-M5 price drops:
-$50 on the body only at Amazon, Adorama and BHphoto (Click on store names to open the page).
-$50 on the body with 14-42mm lens at Amazon, Adorama and BHphoto.
-$100 on the body with 12-50mm lens at Amazon, Adorama and BHphoto.
Same price drops on different auctions on eBay (to check here via Slidoo).

When did Panny release a 100-300 X lens? I must be living under a rock :/
Admin, in all seriousness though, the title of the article say 100-300mm X lens and the lens pictured is the 35-100 ƒ/2.8.
Come to think of it, a 100-300 f4 “X” lens would be awesome.
35-100, not 100-300…
haha sorry! I was running to write this and had the 100-300mm lens in mind because I have to buy one for a friend of mine. Messy Lapsus 🙁
This is my least favorite thing about the micro four thirds system. Buy a new lens and literally a month later prices start to fall..
Buy a 5dmk3 at introduction, and see the price drop by 2000 euro in a couple months time… actually, the higher-end m4/3 equipment keeps its price much better then that.
Sorry dude, its how those things work.
So just wait a few months before buying it?
Where are these GF deals? Are they not for the US? I check the Amazon site under goldbox deals and can never find any GF deals. Looking up the GF camera directly doens’t show the deal price either.
Alex, new lens price drops are hardly unique to m43. Look at a price graph of many new Canon/Nikon lenses and they do the same. And this is grey market price drop for now.
This lens is 1182chf (=1300usd) in switzerland… see http://www.toppreise.ch
The 35-100 price at a reputed Canadian store is CAD 1298.

I bought my GH2 through them when it was released and they had it in stock before places like Amazon.com, BH and Adorama. This a store everyone should be checking for prices every now and then.
got my 35-100 from The Camera Store for less than $1240 – they were better than McBain’s.
