VU Sion UV 77mm Filter for $30 (and other options)

Adorama just launched a flash sale on VU Sion UV Filters featuring five options from 52mm to 95mm, headlined by the 77mm going for $30. They come with free shipping. Limit five per individual filter. This is a limited time sale but I do not know when it expires.

Nikon Macro and Portrait Bundle with Either Free Filters or $20 Rewards for $497

In addition to the new Nikons available for pre-order there is a new promotion on their Macro Portrait 2-Lens kit, it is bundled with various 52mm filters and a cleaning kit for the same price of $497 at Adorama. If you don’t need the extra accessories, you can also get it for the same price with $20 promotional rewards instead of the free filters (promotional rewards to be used in future purchases at Adorama).

Both kits are in-stock and ready to ship with free shipping. The lenses are the same as before, the 35mm f1.8G AF-S DX non-VR and 85mm f3.5G AF-S ED VR DX Micro (= Macro in Nikon-speak).

Pre-order new Nikon AF-P 70-300 and 18-55 DX Lenses (Four Options, $200 to $400)

While the new Nikon D3400 kit options were straightforward, things are a bit more complicated in the new AF-P Nikon lenses. Two different lenses are available in two different options each, with and without VR. An interesting decision here, perhaps with an eye towards bundling them in different ways and discounting them? Regardless..

… the four new AF-P lenses are now available for pre-order as follows:

+ 70-300mm f4.5-6.3G ED AF-P DX VR for $400 at Amazon and Adorama and B&H Photo

+ 70-300mm f4.5-6.3G ED AF-P DX non-VR for $350 at Amazon and Adorama and B&H Photo

+ 18-55 f3.5-5.6G DX VR for $250 at Adorama and B&H Photo

+ 18-55 f3.5-5.6G DX non-VR for $200 at Adorama and B&H Photo

These have been added to the new Interesting New Lenses of 2016 tracking page. We no longer track most non-RAW P&S fixed lens digital cameras over there.
