Rokinon Wide-Angle Lenses Deal of the Day | Groupon Abilene, TX

$399 for the 35 F1.4

Looks to be expiring soon, doesn't ship to Canada, but I figure this is something that could be shipped to Point Roberts.

Thanks! Bought.

i price matched the same exact deal at FS

FS is selling the same package for $749

and Wow, my amazon order showed up today, super fast!

What the fuck, Groupon?

So I bought the lens and it said "May take 24 hours to process" and says usually you receive your voucher once the deal ends so I thought alright.

Still didn't receive it, e-mailed them and they said "Oh, processing error. Nothing we can do."

Fuckers.

Ronin 11-22-2012 08:40 AM

Fuck Groupon.

Bought it off a reputable store on eBay instead. $400 flat. No tax. Free shipping.

i thought Groupon was toast? (at least very near it.)

Canon S100 for $250 at Amazon.com isn't a bad deal.

http://www.amazon.com/Canon-PowerShot-S100-Wide-Angle-Stabilized/dp/B005MTME3U/ref=sr_1_1?m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&s=photo&ie=UTF8&qid=1353952852&sr=1-1

Good deal?
V1 + 10-30mm for $349


Nikon Nikon 1 V1 Mirrorless Digital Camera with 10-30mm 27504

Ronin 11-28-2012 12:11 AM

Nikon mirrorless is terrible.

LiquidTurbo 11-28-2012 12:21 AM

because....? Don't tell me you're writing it off purely based on specs. If you've handled the camera, then that's a different story. For many people it's probably good enough for a lot of folk, especially at that price point.

Ronin 11-28-2012 01:00 AM

I initially wanted one because I thought the price was decent and maybe an adapter would give me an excuse to buy old Nikon glass or something. I wanted a mirrorless camera and at the time, Canon hadn't announced the M and didn't look like they were going to so I looked at the Nikons, thinking that maybe since Nikon were the other real industry leaders in photography, maybe they could do it better than Panasonic, Olympus, whatever.

Every site I read reviews on hates these cameras. I sort of like the looks...I wanted a discrete mirrorless, not one that looks like a spaceship like Sony but after seeing the samples and reading opinions, universally people say that if you want more than a point and shoot, you don't want one of these.

Plus I shoot a lot of food in restaurants that don't have particularly good lighting and this thing is pretty awful at high ISO.

$349 isn't great. Panasonic, Olympus, Sony, etc all have a jump on Nikon and Canon when it comes to mirrorless and you can easily find deals in the $350 price range on cameras from any of those makers, all of which are just better. I'm waiting for the next Canon mirrorless announcement before I make a purchase but I'd have no problem buying Panasonic right now. You can find those in the $350 range and they have a far more established system than Nikon.

I was debating this too just recently. Sony or Nikon as an alternative to my DSLR. Decided with Sony because the sensor on the 5N is just so good.

Nismo200SX 12-01-2012 11:41 AM

Only reason I would buy a V1 is because for the price you can't really beat it's auto focus. It's super fast and you can get 15fps for 40 shots with autofocus and 60fps when locked focus.

I think its the Soccer Mom's dream camera. If you've got kids running around I'd say this is the one that won't miss a shot with max shutter of 1/16000 it better not miss. Lol.

It's a half serious reply but seriously if it was cheaper I'd really want one. But really looking for a cheap 5N body and 16mm 2.8
