Same inaccurate rebate info……….
If Panasonic’s information is higher than that of the store and you’re serious about buying, remind them that their instant rebate isn’t correct.
I got the $100 rebate on the 15mm f/1.7 despite Adorama and B&H Photo trying to only give half of it. Panasonic is prepared to pay the whole rebate to them.
I can’t find anything on the Panasonic USA website that lists a $100 rebate on the 15/1.7 . . . please supply a link.
Purchase in Japan, check out Amazon used debt. I have bought several good lenses there, no problems whatsoever.
The stores can see Panasonic’s distribution website containing the rebate information.
This thread is about the New E-M1 book: Mastering the Olympus OM-D EM-1-… not about a Panasonic lens ….
I was going to call b&h and pester for the full $100. That was the rebate back in December. Still willing at 550.
Thankfully, I went into a Mike’s Camera store and the salesperson looked it up when I mentioned it. He said US$100 after I mentioned US$50 on Adorama’s website, and when he checked the Panasonic distribution website, he confirmed US$100 rebate.
I ordered one for $548 from BH yesterday. I’ll try calling to see if they can verify and credit the full rebate. Thanks.
You have to wonder if they’ll get the $100 from Panasonic while only giving you the $50.
True. But panny is not even selling this on their site with a rebate.
I’m sure. Each division is a hugely independent group. The worst is the repair group. I hope never to have to deal with them again.
I am ready to buy the 15mm for $500. Please link me to USA site with that discount.
Unfortunately, Mike’s Camera does not always show the rebates on their website. The 15mm f/1.7 rebate isn’t shown while the GM5 rebate is: http://mikescamera.com/spec_sheet.html?catalog%5Bname%5D=Panasonic-DMC-GM5-LUMIX-Digital-Single-Lens-Mirrorless-Camera-wih-Lumix-G-Vario-12-32mm-F3.5-5.6-ASPH-Lens-panasonic-gm5&catalog%5Bproduct_guids%5D%5B0%5D=722df2c0-20b0-0132-aa8b-00163e9110c0
This thread is about the New E-M1 book: Mastering the Olympus OM-D E-M1 … not about you trying to save $100 on some POS Panasonic lens ….
How can he have the book updated for firmware 3.0, when the firmware is not out yet?
Just as professional camera book authors tend to get their hands on camera prototypes long before the cameras are in the shops, they probably will get to play with beta versions of new firmware revisions quite early, sometimes, too…
I hear the sound of running feet and burning rubber as admin hastens to his nearest bookstore to find out what’s in the next firmware.
😉
Already updated for firmware version 3 ?!?!?
its about a year too late …..
