(ENDED) Thursday Lightning Deals: Hoodman, Mactrem and K&F Tripods, Etc
These lighting deals expired… For future ones in the future, check the Amazon Gold Box and Camera & Photo page…
Apple 12″ MacBook (Early 2015, Space Gray) for $999
If you are a Mac fan, B&H Photo has a special sale on the Apple 12″ MacBook (Early 2015, Space Gray) (1.3 GHz Intel Core M (Broadwell), 8GB RAM, 256GB PCIe, HD5300 Graphics, 2304 x 1440 IPS, USB-C, 802.11ac Wi-Fi, etc) bundled with Parallels Desktop 11 for Mac (OEM) for $999 with free expedited shipping.
Nikon Lens Instant Savings end 7/30/16 (include Corel software)
The current iteration of the Nikon Lens Instant Savings expires on 7/30/16 and it features a variety of lenses. Adorama is sweetening the offer by including extra lens-related accessories and the Corel software bundle (that includes AfterShot and PSP) for the same price as without the free accessories.
You can find the participating lenses nicely organized at the promotional page. They are:
+ Primes: 35/1.8 for $167, 50/1.8 for $177, 40/2.8 for $247, 10.5 f2.8 fishy for $597
+ Zooms: 12-24/4 for $947, 17-85/2.8 for $1197, 24-70/2.8 for $1797
Part of this round is also the Nikon D500 with 16-80mm f2.8-4 DX VR going for $2567, a much more reasonable price than the $3100+ that Nikon decided to start this kit at. The D500 already has an APS-C price premium baked into it, creating a kit with a lens premium in it as well, was probably not the smartest idea. Which is why the invisible hand of the market grabbed it by the ear and lowered the price 🙂
