Wow, such a good deal
That is a great deal.
That’s a rediculously good deal! Despite being just for the OM-D em-5, it still is an excellent deal nonetheless
The 45mm lens offer has been available for a month now for the lucky Poms. But in Australia, we’ve enjoyed better prices anyhow.
In their one hand they paint a lens black and charge an extra $300 and in their other hand they give away a $400 lens.
Olympus is as easy to understand as a computer-translated instruction book.
no way ,.is not fair,.when is happening in US
After the price rises in the US like Canon are doing. 😉 You’ve actually enjoyed the best prices there so I don’t think you have much to complain about.
What pens? It’s OM-D only promotion and you wrote about it a month ago. Pens are not eligible.
Even though you see pictures of Pens beside OM-D promotional picture, these are two different ads.
this is so unfair why the hell olympus gives this kind of deals at UK only soo unfair olympus..
Because we pay at least $1500 for the OM-D in the UK?
Yeah, it’s not only you know. And we don’t get discounts.
how about the refurbs at UK only? really.unfair..
For those in Australia and New Zealand, Olympus Australia current promotions November 1 2012 to January 31, 2013.
http://www.olympus.com.au/Learn—Explore/Current-Promotions.aspx
– 20% off selected m43 lenses. Good opportunity to get one of the pricier lenses like the 12, 75, 60 macro or 9-18. Brings it in line with grey import prices but with local warranty.
– Bonus 15mm f/8.0 Body Cap Lens, leather camera strap and camera wrap with OM-D body or kit purchase.
– Bonus Toshiba 8GB Flash AIR SD Card with PEN E-PL5 (body or kit) or E-PM2 (kit) purchase.
Sorry, should have wrote 20% off Cash Back. It’s not 20% off at Point of Sale.
With the RR price of the 60mm macro lens being $599 & cheaper at some places, to get $120 as cash back, it has to be a very good deal & one I’m not going to miss.
Also watch out for the 15% or 20% off digital cameras or storewide deals at the major electrical retailers and big city department stores too. They usually have high markups or charge at full RRP, but with 15-20% off, it can work out to be a good deal.
Are you sure, all the links only point to the offer being on the omd, there was s nothing about the PENs, specifically the link you gave only let’s you select the omd as the camera you are claiming for.
I had a look on the Olympus website and there is a PEN offer. You can get a free Portrait Zoom Lens for £99 if you buy it at the same time as the PEN instead of £349. What is that? Is it the 45mm? If so yippee! Plus you get the 15mm free – pretty good offer. Can someone confirm that this is right
In what way is a fixed focal length lens like the 45mm a “zoom”?
The free lens in this case is the 40-150. They’ve had this offer listed on the SRS Microsystems website for a couple of days (although on the front page it erroenously describes it as the 14-150 – now that would be a GREAT offer)
With Olympus much moreso than with Panasonic, as an early adopter you do get a feeling of having been ripped off a little every now and then…
Confusing

free 15mm f8?
You are wrong!
It´s for the O-MD only.
It is NOT for the PENs!
It’s the 40-150 R lens you get in the £99 PEN deal, along with the Street Bag and an 8GB card.
They’re shipping a FlashAir Card with every PEN E-PL5 and E-PM2 too.
If you buy the PEN and the above boxed kit, you get the 15mm f8 “cookie lens” free too.
Very good deal I reckon…
The PEN deal is:
Buy a new PEN (PM2 or PL5) and at the same time buy a special lens package and you get £250 off. The lens package that comes with the offer is this:
http://www.parkcameras.com/24859/Olympus-Pen-Zoom-Kit-Silver–40-150mm—Street-Case-M—8GB-SD-Card-.html
A bag, 40-150 zoom & 8GB memory card.
It’s not a cashback deal, they knock the money strait off. I know because I just ordered one! 🙂 I cancelled my order at WEX as they don’t have the kit their.
Once I get it through the post I can claim my cookie lens…
By the way … for the Dutch readers who want to buy an Om-D there’s also an offer..
See here : http://www.olympus.nl/site/nl/c/cameras_support/promotions/index.html
It’s a shame that there are no offers for users of the Olympus Camera’s and lenses .
I bought already 2 of the m4/3 camera’s and some lenses and even registered….. but no offers aftersale…… !
Even the booklet you had to buy !
Shame on you Olympus !
Admin really needs to correct this misleading article – 9 hours and counting…
Why misleading ????
Did you try to put a bet on one of the articles ???
I don’t like it any when someone says that i am misleading !
I would be the last person to do that.
But explain ……
Kind greets.
Article is titled ‘Free 45mm lens on every PEN’ but only the OM-D has a free 45mm 1.8
It’s an ebay auction. It is common to be immediately outbid by another bidder who was previously entered a maximum bid higher than yours. There’s nothing sinister about it.
Thanks Salty …..
Anyone tried bidding/buying on the Olympusmarket yet !
Positive results ?????
Can any one explain why there’s so many refurbished items from Olympus every 3 or 4 months? Even just released new products.
Panasonic doesn’t seem to have the same thing?
It just doesn’t leave me with the opinion of manufaturing quality. As I am considering buy some Olympus gear.
I hope this leads to even lower prices for the 48/1.8 on ebay.
Why are there such good deals only in UK ??? (free grip, free lens,etc…) and why do we pay the most elsewhere in Europe ?
And still not corrected after 4 days. Gives a clear indication about how much admin cares about accuracy!
