Gotcha!
ok i ordered one for 88 euro… even when i have no real use for it. 🙂
for 88 euro you can´t make anything wrong.
especially as you can give it back in a 30 day periode when you order from amazon.
all other sellers here in germany have the old price around 600-700 euro.
i just bought a second .. lol
seems like price is up again after i bought a third one…
now it´s 709 euro.
Well just bought one…we shall see …
now it´s back to 88 euro again… strange…..
Thank you! I bought one 🙂
Thanks! 🙂
I got one too – now I will need to get a camera to mount it on :- of course only in the case the lens will actually be delivered – Amazon promises 2-4 weeks 🙂
I just bought my first lens for the upcoming Sony FF mirrorless system. Let’s hope it is not just a rumor 🙂
Admin, how do you know this isnt an error?
Well, anyways, I ordered some.
Some? Good for you!
I bought one too…..
lol i also bought one for 88. now its for 709!
Why do they sell it as if it were natively for pentax q??? It would attract much more attentiion if they said it’s for canon ef mount…….
dang no shipping to usa?
GOOD NEWS: more Walimex pro lenses for 89,49€ available!

Grab them while they are hot!
Correction: the 14mm is for Nikon F Nikon 1. Still quite an extreme price.
With Kipon Nikon F adapter. It is Walimex pro branded Samyang FF- lens. Should work with all Nikon bodies. Just ordered one.
Thanks for the deal! Got the 24 and the 85.
I already have the samyang 85mm lens specific for samsung nx. It’s good but has quite CA and it’s not easy to focus at wide apertures, even with focus picking. The 85mm from samsung is much better. Anyway for the price is advised.
I don’t know the 14mm, but doesn’t sound as interesting as the 24mm.
Damn I can’t select a uk address, but it has every other country under the sun. does anyone know how to do this?
Managed to sign on with my uk account. Turns out united kingdom is Vereinigtes Königreich. Lets hope this is the right lens. It looks like the cinema version in the picture.
Amazon.de just canceled my 14/T3.1, got a letter saying the item was listed at a wrong price.
Order just got canceled.
Der Artikel wurde von uns auf der Website irrtümlich mit einem falschen Preis ausgezeichnet. Wir mussten ihn daher aus Ihrer Bestellung stornieren.
It seems that in the end this was just a mistake from Amazon and they are cancelling the orders…
At least that is what they have just done with my order for the 14mm lens. They just sent me a mail saying that it was a mistake in the price and they are cancelling my order based on their terms and conditions 🙁
Already got cancellation for the first lens (14 mm Q-Mount) by amazon due to worng price.
Mine was just canceled, Amazon claims it was an error (which does make sense 🙂
Well I ordered them all and received an email from Amazon that said that the price was a mistake, and they are cancelling my order 🙁

Cancelation is coming soon for the rest also, since the price is removed.
Shame on amazon, if this is the case 🙁
Well, ordered the 14 and the 24, just got a mail from amazon saying it was a mistake, so the order won’t be fulfilled. I guess I will get the same mail for the 24 soon. Well mistakes can happen, though I’m a bit irritated to say the least because :
– I would think it would be too complicated for them to make an alert when those kind of improbable price drop occurs, so that an actual human person would check it,
– after googling for wallimex brand, it seems the same story happened in July 2013 with the same price drops, and orders were also canceled except for some lucky guys it seems.
Those 2 elements makes me think those “mistakes” look like publicity stunts.
assholes.. their mistake… so eat the shit…
One order was cancelled with the same explanation posted by bob.
According to German laws, this can not happen as it is not an error since they did it for multiple items. If someone wants to take the initiative to start a group action, I am in. I want the lenses that I paid for.
i am in too. i have not received any cancelation yet but i am sure i will get one soon. i really dont understand how is it possible to sell 3 or 4 items for the same low price and than cancel all orders.
Just got the cancellation notice for the 24mm lens. A real shame for amazon, those practices should be condemned.
Wow, I am surprised by the amount of anger because of a mistake. We all make mistakes, and while some complain about Amazon (one of the most customer friendly online stores) wasting their time, they do not seem to mind hanging around on rumour sites day by day.
My feeling is that this is just the broken illusion to realise that whenever a deal seems too good to be true, it generally isn’t (true). Which has been proven again.
My order has been cancelled by Amazon by the same mail, and I do not mind, because this is what I had expected (an error). BTW Amazon says clearly that a valid purchase contract only is made when you get a mail that item has been shipped. Which of course was not the case. They also declared refutation because of error.
Now you guys who think they made this on purpose: Have fun with proving Amazon that they did NOT make an error but planned that.
It’s not anger, but ‘sense of justice’, for me. Just think:
1) how can this kind of error occour? I mean…how technically they could discount an item of, say 90%, by mistake? And even more…how can they discount 3 items by mistake?
2) what if a driver said “oh, wrong lane” after 6 hours he drives on a highway? Ok, you would say, that’s a different kind of mistake, one dangerous for life, but I have another idea. Who makes mistakes, must pay for them, so he won’t do anymore in the future. Especially those involving other people (even the non dangerous ones).
3) what chaos and mess would it be if many sites/vendors started to do this kind of mistakes? You wouldn’t be sure of a single purchase…
There could be many more reasons why such behaviour should be condemned. Just think about them.
“system error” is the repeated excuse given by amazon de. How can a system make “selective” “errors”? Do they employ self thinking computers? Amazon sucks and wastes time. Fact!
I might add here that I am in favor of the French putting brakes on this monster. I hope the whole EU acts similarly.
Got order cancelled. What a farce.
“Laut unseren AGB kommt der Kaufvertrag über ein Produkt immer erst mit Absenden der Versandbestätigungs-E-Mail zustande.”
That is what I learned, at amazon you place an order and if they want to fill it they can somewhen send an delivery-note mail…. if not they say sorry.
BTW can the customer withdraw an order until then?
This is anti-marketing for amazon.
