4K double cash back or 25mm F1.7 for ~99EUR incl. free shipping in Germany? No way, Panasonic.de is sleeping or want the b****y Germans to pay more, hey, who cares? 😉
You can order it for 107.15 USD from B&H and cross your fingers you won’t get charged… Mine’s been on its way for almost a week now; presently in Frankfurt.
There’s no way you’re not getting charged customs and VAT. B&H even has an option to pre-pay it so your item is not delayed. Remember 6.7% customs duty is charged on top of item price + shipping, and then the VAT is on top of price + shipping + customs. Considering you can get a brand new one in Germany for €180 (ebay, amazon.de, etc) not really worth it.
There’s no customs duty charge for items below 150 EUR. For me personally, no additional shipping costs, as I can go to the customs depot (like I had to do today for the Kickstarter Remix Mini). Only VAT would have to be paid. So, if they charge me, it will end up costing me in total somewhere along the lines of 122,50 EUR max. In the best case, only 102. Still not quite up to par with 99 USD. But given the market situation, not bad and I’d say worth getting over 180 bucks on Amazon. My 2 cts. Will make sure to get back to you on this when it’s handled.
I have ordered items from the USA and I get shafted EVERY time. I’ve had to pay even on a $40 wire for my car.
Yeah, that Remix Mini (Mini PC) was 60 USD incl. shipping (shipping gets accounted for the amount of VAT with items over 22 EUR). I was able to pick it up at the local customs depot in person this morning (after receiving a letter yesterday), which saves me 10 EUR logistical fees (benefit of living in the capitol). It wasn’t over 150 EUR, so no customs duty charge asked, just VAT. 10% ended up being 11,25 EUR. Well, yeah. Still sucks, but that’s just how the system is supposed to work. But from hundreds of international shipments, maybe I’ve got screwed two hand full of times. So, to me that’s decent.
But you don’t have to pay any customs! You only pay the normal import VAT (19%).
Have a look on http://www.zoll.de
‘Will make sure to get back to you on this when it’s handled.’
Well, I’ve just gotten back from a short holiday and it was waiting to get picked up. No trouble, no costs. I noticed however other times, that sometimes stuff gets relabelled in Germany and gets a RX…DE registration and a new physical label. I think it could be that Austrian customs then handles the shipment as if it’s entering the country from an EU country, which is subjected to free trade, therefor no additional charges are applied. So, it could be my luck that I’m not directly in Germany and they just happen to handle stuff the way they handle things, or maybe just this once it flew under the radar by luck. All I know is, I paid 102,- EUR for it (incl. all) in the end. So, I’m a happy camper. 🙂
That B&H GX8 and 12-35 deal includes a $100 gift card by the way, effective price is $1700. Not the deal of the century but may sweeten it for some.
E-M1 with 12-40 comes to the same price on B&H now. E-M1 is probably better for sports (and macro with new firmware), GX8 looks better for everything else.
I have not exactly figured out what I think “not Olympus but Panasonic” should mean, I do have the feeling there is some tit-for-tat going on. For example, the “normal” lens to drool on is the 25mm f1.4 PanaLeica. Although it rattlesnakes a bit on OM-D bodies (choose “A” priority to make the sound go away) it is an expensive winner. The 25mm f1.8 mZuiko is also a very nice lens, but gives up 2/3 of a stop on the aperture, still very sharp with nice bokeh, for a lower price. Take that! A few years later, Panasonic gives us 25mm f1.7 (at most 1/6 a stop better than f1.8) at a very low introductory price, which not only undercuts the f1.4 but the mZuiko as well. Take that back, haha! 2016 hints include promises of f1.2 mZuiko primes, probably much more expensive. The duke-out continues.
In practice, I would rather have a 20mm “normal” lens, though I am not happy with the slow, screw-drive AF motor on the Panasonic pancake.
Haha, prices on ebay for USED Olympus 25/1.8 are still starting from $200. 🙂

That is funny, somebody bids $200+ on 25/1.8 now. 😉
If I had the Olympus now, I would sell it and buy that Pana instead. Free $100. 🙂 Almost free. 😉
You would. I wouldn’t.
Better coating that does not flare and much smaller size are not free.
Where did you find flaring comparison? 25/1.7 is not even tested anywhere.
I don’t understand Olympus US pricing. They give away 14-42 II for $50, and 40-150/4-5.6 for $99. These are essential lenses for many, especially first time buyers, and could easily fetch $100 and $150 respectively. At the same time they want $400 (or $300 on Black Friday sales) for 25/1.8, $400 for 17/1.8 which are actually simpler optically and mechanically, 700-800 for 12/2 and 75/1.8… just insane. 17/1.8 and 25/1.8 and 45/1.8 should be $99-149 all the time. 17/2.8 probably $50-60. 12/2 about $300 ($199 on supersales) and 75/1.8 $100 more. Then they would make sense. After all they only give performance of cheap kit f/4 zooms for FF which replace the whole bag of them, and below even cheap pancake primes like Canon 40/2.8.
show me that FF kit zoom, which has the same optical performance than e.g. the Olympus 75/1.8.
Sorry, but you wrote a lot of nonsense!
Not 75, but the rest are covered by 24-120/4 offered by Nikon for $600 in kits.
P.S. Although 120mm central crop to 150mm would not be that far, and 120mm certainly goes much further than 90mm covered by 45/1.8.
I’m not sure I understand their pricing on fixed focal length lenses either, though the 25mm f/1.8 seems nearly as good as Panasonic’s Leica-branded lens that is much more.
The high end lens pricing is much more sensible than that of their cheaper lenses.
How f/1.8 is nearly as good as f/1.4? It is nearly as good as $99 Pana 25/1.7, who will buy 1.8 at $400 or even $300 on “sales”?
Kuddos to Panasonic, but since I already have the 20mm, the best deal for me is the gm5 for 469.
Never see these sorts of deals in blighty! I have a 20mm but having something that would do C-AF would be nice.
Got my Panasonic 25mm f/1.7 an hour ago, and it seems a good lens for US$99.00. Seemed slow to focus on the E-M1 but quick on the GX8. Haven’t had a chance to take it outside yet.
It is now listed on B&H as AVAILABLE IN MARCH 2016.
Amazon now lists This for $197
