Sony Lounge Thread MKIII (All Sony cameras welcome)

Once I ordered I immediately got an email confirmation from Amazon so if anyone is on the fence it certainly appears legit.....at this point anyways

I agree it is too weird.....but I still bought one. I may end up regretting this but the link opened up in the Amazon app so I decided to take the risk. Can’t wait to explain this one to the wife if it blows up in my face.

I just bought one too.
Like you, mine opened in the app and I was a little leery of it but I put it in my cart and it showed up with other items I already had in my cart so I closed it on my iPad and opened my app on my phone and sure enough it was in my cart so, I ordered it, after hitting the place order my address popped up on the ship to information.
I received an email from Amazon saying that I’ll receive it between October 11th and November 10th.

If it’s a scam, everything I see tells me that if it was a scam, it’s a very elaborate scam because they would have all of my information and access to my Amazon account.

Pretty legit to me.

Done it for you before...I think I might pick one up...just to have a smaller lighter one for hiking and as a backup.

You did indeed! Much appreciated!

I’m going to get one to pair with my FE35. I like how they both have the lens custom button

Want me to snag one for you?

Yes sir! (If you don’t mind taking the risk on that amazon listing)

done.
I figured why not. I put it on my amex, since they are the best at customer protection. If its a scam...then it will be refunded...might be kinda like that Prime Day thing all over again.

I just did an open search on Amazon and if you search for “full frame e-mount fast prime lens” it will come up with the 85mm lens for $548.00, click on that lens. After clicking on the 85mm lens for $548.00 and it shows on the screen, look right below the price, it has another one shown there that says “View newer model” click on that lens and there it is for $249.99.

I ordered an 85 f1.8. It'd be nice to have a compact 85m.

Yeah I like hiking with one but the GM is a beast...I am starting to build a more compact hiking kit...gonna start hiking even more.

Yeah I think a compact version of the classic 35/85 combo makes sense.

Went out this afternoon and had a beer with my wife. Some younger girls were taking photos with their iPhones and I offered to take a group shot with my A6400. Edited in Lightroom on iPhone. Love this camera.
