Was looking for the 28-200 and purchased an S5iix too! How’d I do?

I’ve needed a compact zoom to go along with my s5 for some time now. I prefer to take photos of my children on our adventures however I don’t love carrying across the panny 24-70 2.8. It’s a superb lens for my video work however not a fantastic journey lens. The one different full body lens I personal is the 50mm 1.8 that got here with my digital camera so I’ve been holding a watch out for worth drops on the 28-200.

Whereas looking B&H as we speak I seen the 28-200 was marked down $200! I additionally seen the s5ii is $1500. That’s tempting, however I’ve all the time figured I’d get the X as a result of I personal just a few T5 drives and will make the most of the USB-C performance. I checked the value and it was discounted to $1899 however then I seen the 85mm 1.8 comes with it without cost. That appeared like a no brainer to me. I’ve been saving for some time and I had deliberate to switch the remainder of M43 (GH5/G7, 5 lenses) package with one other full body Panny. I’ve all the time needed that 85mm lens, so now I’m excited.

For many who have purchased a s5iix is that this a fairly good worth for a brand new package, or do they get even higher? I do know generally they do a package lens plus the 50mm with the s5ii however I don’t want both of these.

Time to place the m43 stuff on eBay heh.
