Receive a FREE X-Rite-Sekonic ColorChecker Passport by Mail with select Sekonic purchases

Ending 12/31/14, you can receive a FREE X-Rite-Sekonic ColorChecker Passport by mail, via mail-in rebate, when you purchase a Sekonic LITEMASTER PRO L-478D or L-478DR or DigitalMaster L-758DR or L-758 Cine. Eligible Sekonic products mention this promotion under “View Available Rebates”, under their price on the right side of the product pages (example) at Adorama.

NOTE: you don’t buy the X-Rite ColorChecker. You will receive it for free by mail later on. You purchase the eligible Sekonic product. Once you receive it and all is well, you submit the mail-in rebate (PDF form available at the aforelinked Adorama pages). After a few weeks, Sekonic’s representatives will mail you the actual X-Rite-Sekonic ColorChecker Passport to your front door.

Buy $500+ in Art (including Photography) get $50 Gift Card via email

If you like to purchase photography as art, the Amazon Art store has a couple of promotions: purchase $500 or more of art in a single order and receive a $50 Amazon Electronic Gift Card as a bonus via email. For first time buyers of Amazon Art, you receive a $25 Amazon Electronic Gift Card when you spend $100 or more in a single order. I don’t know if the promotions are stackable. In the Photography section, they have over 8500 photographs available for sale. I am not an art critic, but I’m pretty sure the United Club Lounge Pass is not art 🙂
