    How Much?

    Just having a quick look at Oly lenses on the Warehouse express website and I'm shocked. Prices seem to have sky rocketed!

    ZD 50-200mm SWD £999.00
    ZD 12-60mm SWD £829

    What's going on? It doesn't seem 2 minutes since I bought the 12-60mm for £569 and the 50-200mm was under £800!

    Guess I'll have to wait to get the 50-200mm now, I can't justify £1k on a lens!
    Thanks

    If the first thing you see when you wake up is Fen that is a hell of a shock.

    My 50-200 swd was around the £600 a year ago , its not very often you buy a new item and it doesn't devalue, unlike cameras which seems to lose 75% of its value after 4 years.

    Yes it does, Sigma are a Japanese company.
