12-40, 17mm, 25mm, 60mm, 75-300 all back on Olympus Outlet 12/10/14

[mtparadis]

[RBrianTaylor]

Gone again.

....ooops, missed it again!

 

[Pecos]

Ha, that's why I'm sticking to the 14mm 2.5!

Great lens for the money, and great lens.

 

[ozuiko]

12-40mm is instock and available at the outlet.

 

[Biro]

Yeah, the question is always whether it's worth waiting for the 20% off sale. It would be a significant discount but the chances of landing one are fair at best. I have a 5% discount for taking their survey that's good through the 31st of December. That'll at least cover sales tax. Maybe I should just bite the bullet now.

Has anyone ever purchased a refurbed camera from the outlet? I have purchased a bunch of lenses, only one showing any signs of use (the 12-40 had scratches on the barrel, no biggie).

Cheers,

I have purchased two bodies these past few years - an E-PL2 and an E-M1. The former had a tiny little micro-scratch on the very corner of its LCD screen, but they were otherwise like new.

I purchased an Olympus Stylus 1 from them and you'd never know that it wasn't new.

I've got an E-PM2 and E-PL5, both were refurbs from the outlet. As far as I can tell they were never used and there was no visible damage on them.

12-40 is back in stock as of 9:30am (GMT-8) Pacific Time. I just purchased one although I am currently using a Panasonic Body w/o IBIS. (Will have to switch to Olympus in the future!)

 

[Hank77]

Occasional lurker here (first time poster). Bought this to pop on a OM-D E-M10 and a E-PL1 (rarely). Can't beat the price ($639 + tax). They also have black 45/1.8 lenses for $279, back in stock (as of 1PM EST).

 

[skellington]

Got a 12-40 ordered. I've been looking at a new body, that I probably don't really NEED, but the 12-40 will be really nice on my existing G5, and I can wait until something new comes along in the world of m4/3 bodies.. Thanks for the heads up!

 

[RBrianTaylor]

Yes! Ordered one! Thank you kxchan427! I hope I get one without any of the wobbling problem I've read about.

12-40 in stock again:smile:

 

[ozuiko]

Most of the lenses including macro 60mm, 75mm, 70-300mm, etc are available at the olympus refurbished store now.

 

[sublimesun]

Finalllly got a 75!

 

[Hank77]

Wow, 75 is already out of stock! Great deal, and it looks like they roll in every few days. Other lenses seem to be in stock (25/1.8, 45/1.8, 60/2.8, etc.), for now!

My experience with the reconditioned site is positive so far. Ordered a 12-40 during the last batch, lens itself is great, but one of the hood latch switches was broken. They shipped out a new hood without any hesitation!

 

[kud0s69]

Is the 25MM F/1.8 a good deal at 319CAD? The new price is only 349, but the refurb says it comes with lens hood cover worth 46 bucks. Is that useful piece to have (sorry I am a beginner) or is it worth spending 30 more for new without the lens hood? I wish they had a 20% promotion or I would buy it no problem.

A hood offers some protection against bumping into things, but you can get a nice JJC hood for much less than $46.
