Sony A65 priced 50k in india
« on: June 15, 2012, 03:30:14 PM »
Sony A65 is available in india for 51k with 3 years warranty. considering the exchange its  better to buy in india(cheaper than buying from b&h), compared to any other cams like A33 or A55 or A37 or A57.

Ah good, they decreased the price from the launch price of 59k. But I still won't recommend them to anyone coz their lens availability is as bad as before.

Sony has quite a few cheap but great lenses like the 50mm f1.8, 35mm f1.8, 85mm f2.8 and 16-50mm f2.8.

However aside from the 50mm f1.8 the others aren't available. Also 3rd party lenses are also not available. Unless someone knows what he is getting into its not a good option at all.

The advantage is that you get some really good deals in India. Someone is selling a Tamron 200-500mm lens for 25k, a 30mm f1.4 for 10k and a Tamron 10-24mm for 15k posted just yesterday and no one has even expressed interest ! I am having a very hard time to pass up the Tamron 200-500mm (since optically its better than the Sigma 150-500mm and will have IS thanks to the Sony body stabilization) but I seriously doubt I will find time to do justice to that lens while staying in a concrete jungle like Mumbai. :(

Brendon keeps in dissuading people from buying his favourite brand. This keeps the resale value of used lenses down and he picks up what he needs at good prices ;) :D
