What a deal! Terrific lenses and they are almost completely buying the Odyssey7Q for you.

 

[Run&Gun]

It's essentially LESS than a C300, now.

And they probably still won't sale...

 

[Ebrahim Saadawi]

This is INSANE!

What would be a better deal... but aren't those zooms the same cost of the set of primes..

 

[Mitch Gross]

Those zooms are top notch. I really, really like them. The 30-105 is perhaps the perfect talking head interview lens and the 15.5-47 the perfect handheld lens.

I made this video about these two lenses when I worked for AbelCine.

I don't mind a zoom... actually have done a whole feature on a zoom... might give you a setup or two a day extra instead of changing lens... but for tight places... the primes might work better... :

damn..sweet deal. Terry, you know a good divorce lawyer?

 

[skimmel]

I agree, great deal. But, what I'd rather have is a combo of the C500 + External recorder without having to buy the zoom lens.

Canon did that promotion earlier in the year.

Canon did that promotion earlier in the year.

I know and I missed it! Maybe again?

 

[Mitch Gross]

I wouldn't expect to see that promotion again for many, many months. Not with this one happening currently. Maybe end of year, maybe never.

Thanks Mitch
