Thank you, Camera Canada!!! The only place with Sony FE 16mm F1.8 in stock!
I am going on a photo tour this Sunday (so excited!) and decided that I needed to bring a second body with a landscape lens, because the landscapes there can be just as thrilling as the wildlife. I researched on the internet and found the perfect lens: Sony FE 16mm 1.8G. Very small, surprisingly inexpensive, perfect for my needs. BUT none of the retailers i would normally go to for Sony had one! I was starting to think that the people doing youtube reviews had received copies in advance, and that it wasn't actually released yet. When I checked the Camera Canada website, there was one - but by then I was sceptical that they had one when nobody else did. I sent them a message from the link on their website, and early Saturday morning, they responded that they DID have one! I ordered it, expedited shipping, they shipped it on Monday and it arrived today (Tuesday). All smooth, very nice to chat with online. My new go-to for camera gear.
Oh one more thing....earlier last week, when I was shopping for landscape lenses, I had enquired with them about trading in an old camera body. They responded by asking for pictures, but advising me that selling privately would bring a better price. Which I did and it did! Same day sale!
