Victor
7 months ago |That’s a rediculously good deal! Despite being just for the OM-D em-5, it still is an excellent deal nonetheless
Ross
7 months ago |The 45mm lens offer has been available for a month now for the lucky Poms. But in Australia, we’ve enjoyed better prices anyhow.

7 months ago |In their one hand they paint a lens black and charge an extra $300 and in their other hand they give away a $400 lens.
Olympus is as easy to understand as a computer-translated instruction book.

Ross
7 months ago |After the price rises in the US like Canon are doing.
You’ve actually enjoyed the best prices there so I don’t think you have much to complain about.

7 months ago |What pens? It’s OM-D only promotion and you wrote about it a month ago. Pens are not eligible.
Even though you see pictures of Pens beside OM-D promotional picture, these are two different ads.

7 months ago |this is so unfair why the hell olympus gives this kind of deals at UK only soo unfair olympus..
Oomph

7 months ago |Sorry, should have wrote 20% off Cash Back. It’s not 20% off at Point of Sale.
Ross
7 months ago |With the RR price of the 60mm macro lens being $599 & cheaper at some places, to get $120 as cash back, it has to be a very good deal & one I’m not going to miss.

7 months ago |Also watch out for the 15% or 20% off digital cameras or storewide deals at the major electrical retailers and big city department stores too. They usually have high markups or charge at full RRP, but with 15-20% off, it can work out to be a good deal.

7 months ago |Are you sure, all the links only point to the offer being on the omd, there was s nothing about the PENs, specifically the link you gave only let’s you select the omd as the camera you are claiming for.

7 months ago |I had a look on the Olympus website and there is a PEN offer. You can get a free Portrait Zoom Lens for £99 if you buy it at the same time as the PEN instead of £349. What is that? Is it the 45mm? If so yippee! Plus you get the 15mm free – pretty good offer. Can someone confirm that this is right
Llamaman
7 months ago |In what way is a fixed focal length lens like the 45mm a “zoom”?
The free lens in this case is the 40-150. They’ve had this offer listed on the SRS Microsystems website for a couple of days (although on the front page it erroenously describes it as the 14-150 – now that would be a GREAT offer)

free 15mm f8?
Sunny
7 months ago |You are wrong!
It´s for the O-MD only.
It is NOT for the PENs!
Eude
7 months ago |It’s the 40-150 R lens you get in the £99 PEN deal, along with the Street Bag and an 8GB card.
They’re shipping a FlashAir Card with every PEN E-PL5 and E-PM2 too.
If you buy the PEN and the above boxed kit, you get the 15mm f8 “cookie lens” free too.
Very good deal I reckon…
Dylthedog
7 months ago |The PEN deal is:
Buy a new PEN (PM2 or PL5) and at the same time buy a special lens package and you get £250 off. The lens package that comes with the offer is this:
http://www.parkcameras.com/24859/Olympus-Pen-Zoom-Kit-Silver–40-150mm—Street-Case-M—8GB-SD-Card-.html
A bag, 40-150 zoom & 8GB memory card.
It’s not a cashback deal, they knock the money strait off. I know because I just ordered one!
I cancelled my order at WEX as they don’t have the kit their.
Once I get it through the post I can claim my cookie lens…

7 months ago |By the way … for the Dutch readers who want to buy an Om-D there’s also an offer..
See here : http://www.olympus.nl/site/nl/c/cameras_support/promotions/index.html
It’s a shame that there are no offers for users of the Olympus Camera’s and lenses .
I bought already 2 of the m4/3 camera’s and some lenses and even registered….. but no offers aftersale…… !
Even the booklet you had to buy !
Shame on you Olympus !
Llamaman
7 months ago |Admin really needs to correct this misleading article – 9 hours and counting…
Absoluutbeginner
7 months ago |Why misleading ????
Did you try to put a bet on one of the articles ???
I don’t like it any when someone says that i am misleading !
I would be the last person to do that.
But explain ……
Kind greets.
Salty
7 months ago |Article is titled ‘Free 45mm lens on every PEN’ but only the OM-D has a free 45mm 1.8
Llamaman
7 months ago |It’s an ebay auction. It is common to be immediately outbid by another bidder who was previously entered a maximum bid higher than yours. There’s nothing sinister about it.
Absoluutbeginner
7 months ago |Thanks Salty …..
Anyone tried bidding/buying on the Olympusmarket yet !
Positive results ?????
Nu
7 months ago |Can any one explain why there’s so many refurbished items from Olympus every 3 or 4 months? Even just released new products.
Panasonic doesn’t seem to have the same thing?
It just doesn’t leave me with the opinion of manufaturing quality. As I am considering buy some Olympus gear.
peevee
7 months ago |I hope this leads to even lower prices for the 48/1.8 on ebay.
JF
7 months ago |Why are there such good deals only in UK ??? (free grip, free lens,etc…) and why do we pay the most elsewhere in Europe ?
Llamaman
