January 2013 Newsletter

Dear Photographer,

A very Happy New Year to you! May 2013 be your most successful year, both on a personal and business front.  If you’ve had a break over the festive season, we hope you have returned refreshed and energised with new ideas and photographic inspirations.

To kick-start the year, we have a selection of new and pre-owned equipment in stock that may be of interest to you. Below is a list of this month’s chosen promotions, as well as a comprehensive list of ‘pre-owned equipment for sale’. However, should you be looking for a particular item and not find it here, please do not hesitate to contact us; if we do not have it in stock, we will always do our utmost to source it for you.


NEW EQUIPMENT

Samyang Lenses



   
 
               
Samyang have been making high-quality, solidly constructed, multi-coated lenses for some time and they are now finally available in South Africa. These (manual-focus) lenses have become popular overseas where their optical properties and great price / quality ratio has made many fans. These excellent value-for-money lenses are available for most mounts and are a good alternative to OEM offerings. Of particular interest to videographers is that many of their lenses are also available "de-clicked" for video application.
