They've got the price completely wrong too.

Who is running the argos website?! In the last few days I've seen things with the wrong features, wrong pictures, or just dodgy descriptions.

A few questions:

• "Lightweight and compact"? Really?!
• Who was the last person to spend £1300 on a lens and wanted to know about it's optical zoom?
• Isn't E-TTL II a Canon thing?

I'm also interested to know what "Full size manual focus" is.

Maybe my lenses have a focus crop factor of 1.6 too? Maybe it's just a Nikon thing? :shrug:

Those crazy darksiders! Nikon logic eh, have 'full size cuckoomanual focus' on a lens for crop sensor cameras.....

It's actually hard to put on a scale how little faith I'd have buying from argos when they seem to have no clue what they're selling! It was clearly written by someone who has no idea about photography, it looks like a trained monkey has read the back of the box and copied up anything in bold (and badly)

embarrasing isn't it?

 

[straycat]

we should all nip into argos and ask for technical help

its always amusing asking a half technical question in PC world as well.

Not good for the people who really do not know about PC hardware etc as well as they will just get sold anything
