Cyberport: 70-200mm f/2.8 GM will ship on May 19 for 9.999 Euro! ..Must be an error!

Share

cyberportprice

German Sony partner store Cyberport (Click here) is now accepting preorders on the new 70-200mm f/2.8 GM lens. The price they show is 9.999 Euro! But I know from the history of that retailer that price is not real and they only put it there as a “placeholder” until they are allowed to publish the real price. The shipment date is more likely to be true: May 19!
