Price alert for Sony E-mount telephoto lenses
“Hi Yutori,
Please set up a recurring scout/price alert system for strong discounts (25% off or more from the current regular UK street price) on these specific Sony E-mount telephoto zoom lenses. Notify me as soon as any of them hits that threshold at major reputable UK retailers (Amazon UK, Park Cameras, Camera World, Wex Photo Video, Clifton Cameras, SRS Microsystems, B&H Photo (if they ship to UK with reasonable costs), or the manufacturer’s official site). Also flag any open-box, ex-demo, renewed, or excellent-condition deals if they meet the discount level.
Lenses to monitor (with approximate current regular UK street prices for reference — always check latest to calculate true 25%+ off):
1. Tamron 50-400mm f/4.5-6.3 Di III VC VXD (Sony E-mount)
• Regular street price: ~£1,100–£1,250
• Target deal price: £937 or lower (25%+ off)
2. Sony E 70-350mm f/4.5-6.3 G OSS (APS-C E-mount)
• Regular street price: ~£750–£850 (often listed around £799–£878)

How to scout:
• Check at least every 2–3 days, and more frequently during major UK sales events (e.g., Amazon Prime Day, Black Friday, Boxing Day, end-of-financial-year, or seasonal promotions).
• Use UK price comparison tools like idealo.co.uk, PriceRunner, or CamelCamelCamel (Amazon UK), plus retailer alerts on Amazon UK, Park Cameras, Wex, and Camera World.
• Also watch for bundle deals, cashback offers from Sony UK, open-box/ex-demo stock, or manufacturer rebates that bring the effective price to 25%+ savings.
• When you find a qualifying deal, message me immediately with:
• Which lens
• Exact current price and calculated discount percentage (from current regular price)
• Retailer name and direct link
• Condition (new / open-box / ex-demo / renewed), stock level, and delivery/shipping info for UK
• Any expiry or sale duration if known
Prioritise new condition first, but also flag excellent open-box/ex-demo/renewed options. Ignore discounts under 25%.
Please confirm once you’ve set this up. Give me a quick status update every 2 weeks even if no deals are found.
Thanks!”
