Tried to get the SEL1670Z from Sony Store and was told that it was out of stock. Damn it.

Where else can I get the SEL1670Z for a good price? I can only find around 3k.

Isn't that the whole point of having AF-C? To have the camera continuously hunt? If you want it to lock maybe you can try AF-A to see if it suits you?

Sony Curve told me to go over to grab the SEL1670Z yesterday so I dropped over after work. The staff then spent 30 minutes "checking" (which was really going into the back and calling other staff) and then told me this gem: "I'm not sure which staff called you, but the stock is not here yet."
Seriously? Why the fuck would they call me if they didn't have the damn stock? Talk about leaving a bad taste in the mouth. Wasted my time, fuel, and money. Got my hopes high too. This post has been edited by Zephyr_Mage: Nov 24 2015, 11:00 AM |

QUOTE(asrul @ Nov 24 2015, 12:32 PM) might be the staff that called you reserve it for you without informing other staff as well Nope, they told me very clearly that I was on the waiting list but there was simply no stock available for me. in my case, i ask them to hold it for me because i can only came the day after. when arrive there, i randomly asked the staff the availability of the lens, and the first one said no, only then i mention the name of the staff that i spoke on the phone a day before, then that right staff said the stock is there reserved for me.  UPDATE - They just called me and confirmed that they sold the unit reserved for me to someone else. Next delivery is estimated on 11 December. Customer service at its worst. Next time I'll think twice before trusting these fucktards. 2ND UPDATE - Now they are calling me over to collect tonight. Fingers crossed. Behold the power of escalation.

I had better experience with the guy at KLCC. I went there after the Curve.
Yes he told me there was no stock but today he told me that I could pay for the lens first and then when it arrives I can go over and collect it. He texted me after I missed his call. The Curve staff never called me again after I missed their call. I actually had to call them back. Too bad I'm getting the lens at the Curve tonight (fingers crossed). Would rather give the sale to KLCC to be honest. This post has been edited by Zephyr_Mage: Nov 24 2015, 05:49 PM |

QUOTE(ahpingko @ Mar 3 2016, 03:16 PM) if for me, i will just take SEL18105G ... both of them got big difference in price... Don't forget the SELP18105G is very much heavier than the SEL1670Z (300g vs 400-500g?)if you are just casual user, SEL18105G will be good enough and more practical.. Another factor to consider in practicality especially for casual user. |
