Possible Group buy on DZOFiLM Pictor Zooms

[Bastian Meier]

This is the Group Buy for the DZOfiLM Pictor Zooms

The margin on the Production of those lenses doesn't seem to be to big, so I was only able to negotiate two Tiers.
5 Lenses bought 5% and 10 Lenses bought 10% (single Lenses count and not sets)

as of now we have 11 Lenses, that would mean Tier 2 has been hit -10%

LENS	List Price	TIER 1 - 5% off	TIER 2 - 10% off
20-55mm T2.8 (PL/EF Mount, Black)	$2,289.00	2.174,55	2.060,10
50-125mm T2.8 (PL/EF Mount, Black)	$2,489.00	2.364,55	2.240,10
Dual Lens Bundle 20-55mm + 50-125mm T2.8 (PL/EF Mount, Black)	$4,499.00	4.274,05	4.049,10
Dual Lens Bundle 20-55mm + 50-125mm T2.8 Limited Edition (PL/EF Mount, White)	$5,399.00	5.129,05	4.859,10

The Lenses would ship out of China directly from DZOFiLM and shipping would cost around 100$ (maybe I can arrange here something more with the shipping if we are enough people.

I wrote possible group buy, because I only think it makes sense if we hit the 10%. So let me know if you are interested, before we finalise the group buy.

Thanks for looking into this, Bastien. I'm interested in learning more about these lenses-- intrigued by Phil Holland's notes and the promo footage that the company itself posted. While they might be a good fit for what I do, I think I need to see more footage and hear more about the mechanics. For now, I think I'd pay a bit more to get it from a local vendor who can deal with any service issues.

[Bastian Meier]

you are welcome.

if there is any questions you have to the DZO FiLM Team just let me know and I can forward them. Also about asking how it would be with any service issues and warranty claims.

Wonder if they'd include the 20-70mm T2.9 into the group buy too?

[Bastian Meier]

I asked if the would include the LingLung Lenses as well, and will let you know as soon as I hear from them.

[Christopher S Johnson]

I'm surprised this hasn't gotten more traction. I might be interested...

[Kyle Kelley]

Has anyone seen any tests from these in the wild? I'm interested, but am wary of cheap glass after using the Fuji MKE line. The flaring on those things is so god awful as to be almost unusable.
