Not for everybody I know. £189.99(209.99-20) + £10 Argos Voucher+ Quidco is a reasonable price for a high end lens after a reliable Sony cash back. Pl tell me if there is any cheaper option for this lens as I was waiting for a price drop for this lens for some time.

Thanks. I would rather buy from Argos for the same price(including £10 Argos voucher) than this company. Just my personal opinion though.

Nice to see an E-mount deal but the prices have definitely gone up since I bought my gear.

I was waiting for nearly 8 months for this to come below 200

I have this lens for my NEX5R, but almost never use it. On the odd occasion I do, it is great.

Not exactly what you're after but the Sigma 30mm f/2.8 DN SE for around £120 is pretty good, really sharp but no image stabilisation.

I replaced my 5DIII with a Sony A6300 + meta bones and use all my full frame Canon L glass.
I wouldn't mind having a decent Sony lens to make use of the auto focus video though.

How do you choose the color in Argos? They say that they have both silver and black in sale

no they dont, they say the lens is black and silver which it is
also you say in op its a 'high end lens' - its not, its the low end zoom - the high end is one of the 70-200, 70-300 variations
tbh seems expensive as has been much cheaper in the past but seems price been quite static this year

This has been £150 previously, at Jessops I think and I wish I got it at that price. They have just gone up in price ever since. Looks to be best price you can get it at for now though so hot deal.
