a gentle reminder…
The Sony 85mm f/1.8 lens has been discounted by $50 for Black Friday and Cyber Monday…
That’s not bad considering that the lens is relatively new and most likely won’t be discounted again beyond the holidays.
But!
You also need to remember that it is only $50, or 10% off, and this is not some huge savings that you really need to jump on. This is one of those times where it makes sense to go ahead and buy the lens if you were already planning to. This is a genuine savings of $50 for you.
If you weren’t planning on buying it, this is not a real savings for you. You’re still going to be out $550. Sony will be happy about that but you won’t once it appears on your credit card bill.
Don’t let small discounts get the better of you… evaluate your needs and resources first… then buy…
