Solar Eclipse 2017 Accessories

B&H Photo has created a central page for all things Solar Eclipse 2017, including a variety of related accessories along with information articles about the event.

PSA: remember not to stare straight into the sun!

Panasonic LX10 with Extras for $598

The Panasonic LX10 compact with RAW currently goes for $598 at authorized dealers, but at the moment you can also get a boatlaod of freebies at Adorama: the Corel software bundle (five titles including three photo/videos), a 32GB Lexar PRO SDHC card, a Lowepro Dashpoint 20 bag, a memory card wallet, and a cleaning kit.

Panasonic FZ 2500 + $100 Gift Card for $1098

In addition to the previously mentioned Panasonic offers, there’s one on the Panasonic FZ 2500 superzoom, you get a $100 store gift card with the camera going for $1098 at Adorama and B&H Photo.

Sunday Lightning Deals: Usual Camera/Photo accessories

There are over 55 items listed in the Camera & Photo lightning deals (old format) or Full Page format (faster to navigate on Desktop) of the Amazon Gold Box. Due to time constraints I cannot create a detailed listing of them all. The usual assortment of LEDs, Tri/Monopods, Action Cams, Bags, Studio/Lighting Kits, and more are running throughout the day.

Imported White Box No Warranty Nikon 70-300mm f4.5-6.3G VR for $200

The Nikon 70-300mm f/4.5-6.3G ED VR goes for $400 at authorized dealers which are allowed to include free accessories with it, such as Adorama.

But if you are comfortable with imported grey-market white-box lenses without a warranty, then to the eBay Deals we go, where eBay seller “Photo Video 4 Less” (100%, New York) is offering it in new condition white-box no-warranty condition for half the price, $200 with free shipping.

Needless to say this is a higher risk purchase, so if you don’t feel comfortable without any warranty, do not buy!

YMMV: 8% back in eBay Bucks [no minimum amount]

eBay is rotating between coupons and eBay Bucks promotions, and the pendulum has swung in the direction of eBay Bucks again!

This is YMMV ~ I do not know if eBay offers this to everyone or a subset of their registered users. Good until Monday 3am eastern (7/24/17), you earn 8% eBay Bucks on your purchases This particular promotion has no minimum purchase price, so even a $1 item will get you bonus bucks.

First you have to manually activate the offer from the eBay email or your eBay messages (if invited/selected to participate). Some exclusions apply as usual and the maximum rewards you can earn is $100 per transaction, and $500 during the promotional period. The email title announcing this promotion is not as clear as previous ones, but it has “eBay Bucks” in it, so look for that if you are skimming or filtering eBay emails.

A good place to look for ideas are the eBay Deals along with the Trending Deals (shows only 100 trending deals, less overwhelming to look at than their main deals page). There’s also a dedicated search box there that searches only the Deals, not everything else on eBay.

Another way to look for ideas is our eBay Archive posts.

(ENDED) Monday: Tokina 12-28mm f4 (Canon only) for $199; Davis & Sanford Tripods; Etc
