I am not quite sure how to post these updates, since lack of a post can either mean “no deal” or it could mean I didn’t get around to posting it, so this is a catch-all no-op type of a post, the Amazon Gold Box Lightning Deals continue to be very light compared to the Holiday Shopping season, both in terms of camera-and-photo items and overall. I will continue to monitor the situation. We are now in the Super Bowl to Valentines season, so the focus is more on salsa and bracelets 🙂

Nikon-branded Batteries and Accessories Sale (22 options)
Adorama has a Nikon-branded Batteries and Accessories sale featuring a total of 22 items, including ten different EN-EL batteries. All these are Nikon-branded, not third-party. That page is of the ever-scrolling kind, you have to keep scrolling to see all participating items.
Olympus E-M10 with 14-42 and 40-150 for $700
There’s always trade-offs when a newer generation camera comes out. Latest vs value, extra items vs newer items and so forth. This is a value stock-up type of an offer. The first generation Olympus E-M10 with the M.Zuiko 14-42mm f3.5-5.6 II R and the M. Zuiko ED 40-150mm f4-5.6 R Lenses is offered, in new condition, for $698 with free expedited shipping at Adorama.
The second generation M. Zuiko ED 40-150mm f4-5.6 II Lens on its own goes for $400 with $25 promotional rewards at B&H Photo and Adorama, which sets up yet another set of trade offs.
Panasonic 20mm f1.7 II and Corel Software (Aftershot, PSP) and Extras for $268
If you need the Panasonic 20mm f1.7 II pancake and you are also curious about Corel’s software packages but don’t want to risk any money on Corel, Adorama comes to the rescue, you can get the 20mm f1.7 II for $268 with the Corel software bundle (Aftershot Pro 2, Paintshop Pro X7, etc), along with a slinger soft lens case, a 46mm digital essentials filter kit (three of them), a lens wrap and a cleaning kit.

Pentax 50mm f2.8 P-D FA Macro for $263
To paraphrase “Ghost Hunters”, it’s not your normal paranormal/macro. But unlike the former, many things happen when you take the lens out and take pictures 😉 Okay, let me start making sense. The Pentax P-D FA 50mm f2.8 Macro is currently on sale for $263 with free expedited shipping at B&H Photo. Not just a normal lens that works with film and digital but a macro too (up to 1:1).
Genaray SpectroLED-14 Light (100-240VAC/12VDC) for $300
More lighting action, this time it is the Genaray SpectroLED-14 Light (100-240VAC/12VDC) on sale for $300 with free expedited shipping for a limited time at B&H Photo.
5% Rewards with Coupon at Rakuten (ends 1/31/16)
If you are a participant in the Rakuten (formerly Buy.com) Rewards program, coupon code REWARDME gets you 5% back in rewards site-wide until 1/31/16. This is useful for tech purchases since they rarely participate in rewards promotions. Non-tech items get higher percentage (presumably because higher margins allow for more flexibility). More details at the Rakuten website.
