  1. ps: The auction price is almost the price of a NEX-5 WITH the lens as a kit.

    The auction title is very confusing but the auction description says:

    “This is a Brand New, Unused and Unopened Sony Alpha E 18-200mm F3.5-6.3 OSS Zoom Lens. It comes with Hood, Front Cap, Rear Cap, User Manuals and All Original Packaging. This is a pre-order. Items will be shipped in late September.”

    Also, for over 1000US$, to be shipped later.

    =( Please remove that link. Maybe someone who is too exited just buys that lens.

  2. Good point, Erwinkfoto. Andrea, I suggest you mention that in your main article. Because the price is expensive, and the listing says the lens would ship within 5-6 business days, it sounds as if you are paying a premium so that you can get the lens early. You have to scroll way down to see that this is a pre-order item.

    Essentially, you would be paying more money for a lens that you won’t get any earlier than anyone else. I’m guessing the lens won’t be that expensive in the United States, given how much it is on amazon.com for the UK, Germany and France (two out of three of those amazon sites are offering the lens for less money than the ebay seller).

  3. Yea… remove that auction link. It just a PRE-ORDER for September shipping, which is basically same with other shops doing now.

  4. @ Milos Janata:

    You mean DSLR or NEX?

    DSLR for sure (SR5? ^^)

    Altough I don´t have any official infos, I expect the NEX-7 (maybe also a NEX-9? ^^) to HAVE an SSS, not only in the lenses, as it would achieve that the pancakes remain pancakes (a prime with OSS wouldn´t be that compact anymore…)

    Am I dreaming too much? 🙂

    Greets,

    Erwin

    ps: Thx Mike 😉

  5. @erwinkfoto Yes i mean DSLR because NEX will stay NEX – no pro functions, but
    overpriced basic stuff…
    I have pocket camera Sony HX5 and it gives me same quality as NEX in terms of codec and resolution. It has 25-250mm range.Ofc NEX has better lowlight and bokeh. Why shall we pay such a money for very basic lenses…

    I don’t expect NEX-7 anytime soon, maybe its better to see new alpha series:] just a few days away
