Imported Nikon 18-140mm f3.5-5.6G DX VR for $250
The new condition price of the Nikon 18-140mm f3.5-5.6G DX VR at authorized Nikon USA dealers of $500 is out of touch with reality – partly because this lens is bundled with select DSLR kits, and the prices want to nudge buyers towards the kits. Regardless, if you are comfortable with imported grey-market camera gear without a Nikon USA warranty…
… among the latest eBay Deals you can get the new condition grey-market imported Nikon 18-140mm f3.5-5.6G DX VR for $250 with free shipping with a limit of five per buyer from eBay seller “Peach Photo” (99.9%).

Details on the small $1.99 AmazonBasics camera bag
This is the update that was promised, the previously mentioned small AmazonBasics camera bag, currently going for $1.99 (limit 90, part of the Add-On program) has arrived. It is indeed a small bag, for small thin P&S cameras. Most older P&S cameras are probably too thick or too big to fit. It is perhaps best suited if you want to store memory cards, flash drives, small camera remote controls and other small accessories and things you don’t want to lose – in their own padded zippered bag.
( this turned into a long post, more after the break )
20% off Amazon Coins – only for apps/in-app purchases
Amazon has another app-related promotion for those deep into the Amazon app ecosystem. They have a 20% off sale on the purchase of Amazon Coins. The sale price is already factored in, so, for example, $80 gets you 10,000 Amazon coins ($100 equivalent). The Coins can only be used to purchase apps, games, and in-app/in-game items. They cannot be used for other purchases at Amazon but you can give them to friends… There are over 1000 for-pay/premium photography apps over there.
This promotion should not be confused with the recently launched Amazon Underground.
Personally I am not a fan of made-up digital currency, but thankfully for the rest of the universe, I am not the Czar of the Universe 🙂
Imported Canon 5DS for $2700 or 5DS R for $3350
After our little “coffee lens break”, we are back at the eBay Deals with one more imported grey-market promotion, also from eBay seller “Get It Digital” (99.7%). They are offering both of the new new-condition imported grey-market Canon 5D S body only cameras on the same listing. The 5DS goes for $2700, while the 5DS R goes for $3350.

The 5DS body only, at authorized Canon USA dealers, currently goes for $3700 with various freebies depending on each retailer, such Amazon (free Audio-Technica AT8024 camera-mount mic) or Adorama (2% rewards = $74~) or B&H Photo (2% rewards = $74~).
The 5DS R body only, at authorized Canon USA dealers, currently goes for $3900 with various freebies depending on each retailer, such Amazon (free Audio-Technica AT8024 camera-mount mic) or Adorama (2% rewards = $78~) or B&H Photo (2% rewards = $78~).
The products from the authorized dealers are eligible for the various Canon USA mail-in rebate promotions, while the imported items are not.
Two Coffee Lens Mugs (Canon 24-105 f4) for $11 total
The burst mode of posts continues! You have to try really hard to convince Dxomark to measure these “lenses”… Among the latest Staples website deals, you can get two Coffee Lens Mugs in the homage-image of the Canon 24-105mm f4 lens, for $11 total. Free shipping to a local store, or free shipping if you are a Staples rewards member. The page says they hold up to 12oz of liquid per lens. Judging by the picture, it looks like they have screw-on lids. These are online only, so there’s no store pickup option. Offer ends by 9/1/15.
