My dear EU friends: You save 380 Euro on the new Sony 200-600mm G if you buy it directly from Amazon Spain (Click here). You are a fool if you don’t grab that deal now. Even if Amazon made a mistake they will fullfill your preorder for that price! grab it before they notice their error :)

UPDATE: Amazon has now removed the preorder option. The party is over!

There is a bit of a hidden new deal: Digging into the various seller option you find that the Sima 50mm f/1.4 FE is selling for $790 only directly by Amazon US (Click here). That’s $60 less than the next best price which already has a $100 discount! (Thanks to the anonymous tipster!)

UPDATE: And here is one more “Hidden” deal: You save additional $50 on the Sigma 35mm f/1.4 FE lens at BHphoto (Click here) when using the code “YOUGO2BH” at checkout!
