December 2013 Newsletter


Dear Photographer,
With 2013 fast coming to an end, we would like to excite you with our latest list of ‘new’ and ‘pre-owned’ equipment available. At the top of our pick of ‘hot items’ is Profoto’s newly released ‘battery operated mono-block’ that boasts some very unique features. There is also a series of quality Samyang prime lenses, so please do read on. 


NEW EQUIPMENT

New
Profoto Listens to Photographers:  Profoto have listened to photographers' requests and have just released their latest flash head - a battery operated mono-block producing a useful 500w/s.  The rechargeable battery fits straight onto the flash head, so unlike power packs, there is no cable connecting a heavy power pack onto a separate head. This is a truly self-contained unit and is compatible with Profoto's comprehensive range of light shapers.   





A kit, which consists of one head, one battery, a charger and a bag, is expected to sell at under R25000 and stock is expected in soon. Please phone for more information.


Samyang Prime Lenses:  Samyang have been making high-quality, solidly constructed, multi-coated lenses for some time and they are now also 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.



The following popular focal lengths are available: 8, 14, 24, 35 & 85mm lenses. A 24mm f3.5 Tilt & Shift has also recently become available. Please phone for latest pricing.


PRE-OWNED EQUIPMENT

We have received many interesting used items into stock recently. Our hot favorites this month are:
  • Various Nikon prime lenses including two Macro lenses and an AF 85mm f1.8 D lens
  • A Mamiya RB 67 camera including film magazine and 90mm lens, has been priced to sell quickly at R1900
  • An exclusive Contax G1 (Green Label) camera & Sonnar 90 f2.8 lens, has been priced at R3500
  • A clean Manfrotto still life table 220 has just come on the market
  • A very desirable AF-S Nikkor 200-400 f4 VR ED lens has been priced at R48000  
  • Two versatile tripods, a low Benbo and a Uni-Loc tripod with a tiltable centre column, have just come into stock
