Thursday: YI M1, Usual Camera/Photo accessories

There are over 50 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 accessories are running throughout the day.

Used Gear RoundUp: Fotodiox Mount Adapters, Nikon 1 Body Case, Lumix Marine, Etc

This begins a block of 14 USED back to back posts. If you are not interested in used, page down further down and down to skip them. All these surfaced while going through the latest additions to the Amazon Warehouse Bargain Bin, a clearance sale of the various used products sold through Warehouse Deals.

All the ones mentioned here are sold by Amazon Warehouse Deals itself. However, Amazon’s listings are open to almost everyone who wants to sell, so when looking at individual listings, make sure you pay attention to who the actual seller(s) are!

And now a mini roundup of even more things from the latest additions to the Warehouse Deals Bargain BIN sale. I am grouping things together to save up on posts, we already have over a dozen of them back to back today 🙂

I already mentioned some of the Fotodiox lens mount adpaters, but they are not all, there’s more Fotodiox Bargain Bin action, here’s a few more of them:

+ USED Like New condition Fotodiox Lens Mount Adapter (Leica R Lenses to Olympus Four Thirds DSLRs for $5

+ USED Good condition Fotodiox Pro Lens Mount Shift Adapter (Leica R SLR Lenses to Fuji X-Series cameras) for $21

+ USED Very Good condition Pixco Mount Adapter (Pentax PK lenses to Minolta MA Cameras) for $9
+ the product name is confusing – check description if you are not familiar with this

+ USED Very Good condition Nikon CB-N2000 Black Leather Body Case for 1-System cameras for $8~

+ USED Very Good condition Panasonic LUMIX DMW-MCFX40 Marine Case for $89

Used Bower 14mm T3.1 Cine for $140 [Sony E/NEX]

Back to the Bargain BIN deep cuts, the Bower Super-Wide 14mm T3.1 Digital Cine Lens for Sony E (NEX), model SLY14VDSE, is available in “USED – Like New” condition, with a more detailed description and a gallery of pictures of the used item, going for $147 with free shipping by Amazon Warehouse Deals itself. This is the only option that’s available at this price!

PS: the one 1-star review there is from someone who received the wrong model.

Used SKB Equipment Case (20 1/2 x 11 1/2 x 7 1/2 inches) with Wheels and Dividers for $58

I just realized that today’s previously posted used deals were all narrow in focus, for a specific camera/lens, or a specific system/combination. So now let’s expand our focus with … wait for it… a more serious camera “bag” 🙂

The SKB Equipment Case (20 1/2 x 11 1/2 x 7 1/2 inches) with Wheels and Dividers is available in “Used – Good” condition (repackaged; with cosmetic damages) for $58~ with free shipping by Amazon Warehouse Deals itself.

This, model 3I-2011-7B-D, goes for three times as much in new condition, eg B&H Photo.

PS: I categorize everything as “camera bags”, whether they are tiny little pouches, or backpacks, or holsters, or shoulder bags, or hipster bags or wheeled cases and so forth. There’s only so much categorization I can use before the poor WordPress database gets overrun with thousands of tags 🙂

Used Sigma EF-610 DG ST Flash for $65 [Pentax only]

I’m trapped at the bottom of the Warehouse Deals Bargain Bin and that’s where I run into something Shiguma!

The Sigma EF-610 DG ST electronic flash for Pentax cameras is available in “USED – Very Good” condition (various cosmetic imperfections; damaged original packaging) going for $65~ with free shipping sold by Amazon Warehouse Deals itself. Only the Pentax version is available there.

Metz mecablitz 52 AF-1 Flash (Canon) for $108 [USED] or $244 [NEW]

The new condition Metz mecablitz 52 AF-1 digital Flash for Canon Cameras is currently on sale in the Canon version only, in NEW CONDITION, for $244~ with free expedited shipping at B&H Photo. The other system options go for more!

But if you are comfortable with used flashes, you can cut the price in half, you can get it in “Used – Very Good” condition with minor cosmetic damage, in original packaging, going for $108~ with free shipping Aamzon Warehouse Daels itself, another of one of the recent Bargain Bin additions.

Used Fuji LH-X70 metal lens hood [for X70] for $27

This is a bit of a deep cut since it only applies to Fuji X70 cameras, but if you have a Fuji X70 RAWsumer, happy birthday ~ the Fujifilm LH-X70 metal lens hood is available in “Used – Like New” condition is damaged original packaging for $27~ with free shipping at Amazon Warehouse Deals.

USED MegaGear “Ever Ready” Cases (E-M1, X-A, X-T, D-Rebs, etc) for $7 to $12

Over 20 different Mega Gear “Ever Ready” and half cases for different cameras are also included in the latest Bargain Bin Clearance Sale. I can’t list them all individually, but here are some of them:

+ white for select Sony a5xxx and NEX-3N with lens for $3

+ check the individual product listing, customer reviews, and answered questions to get a feel of what other combinations you may or may not be able to fit in
+ all the ones mentioned above are USED; check the individual listings for condition details

Used Fotodiox Pro Auto Macro Extension Tube (21mm, for Canon EF lenses) for $9

The Bin-a-thon continues, with another Fotodiox product, but this time it’s a macro extension. It is the Fotodiox Pro Auto Macro Extension Tube (21mm, for Canon EF lenses), in “USED – Like NEW” condition (original packaging) going for the very specific price of $9.44 by Amazon Warehouse Deals itself.

Free 2-day shipping for Prime members or with a $25+ order: If you need a little something to get to $25+, check our previous AmazonBasics posts or add … 108 Stash Herbal Tea bags for $5.10 🙂

Used Fotodiox Lens Mount Adapter (Canon EOS Lenses to Leica M cameras) for $16

Like a cat on a viral YouTube video, I keep on digging the Bargain Bin, and this time the paw caught another Fotodiox lens mount adapter. This one lets you mount Canon EOS lenses to Leica M-series cameras, and it goes for $15.50 in “USED – LIKE NEW” condition, sold by Amazon Warehouse Deals itself. There are two listings of this as of the time of writing.

Used Fotodiox Lens Mount Adapter (T-Mount Screw Lenses to M43rds Cameras) for $5

Your Prime membership dollars hard at free 2-day shipping work with this latest Bargain Bin find, it is the “Used – Very Good” with minor cosmetic imperfections in damaged original packaging of the Fotodiox Lens Mount Adapter that lets you use T-Mount (T / T-2) Screw Mount SLR Lenses on Micro Four Thirds camera bodies going for under $5 by Amazon Warehouse Deals itself.

Shhhhh! Don’t tell Amazon, it’s not an ADD-ON item at the moment, so as a Prime member, you can scoop it up with free 2-day shipping.

Used Nikon 70-300mm f4.5-6.3G ED DX non-VR for $120

Continuing to dig into the Bargain Bin, as of the time of writing, there is one listing of the Used Nikon 70-300mm f4.5-6.3G ED DX non-VR lens, in “Used – Like New” condition [no further details given] going for $120~ with free shipping by Amazon Warehouse Deals itself.

This lens currently goes for $350 on its own in new condition, but it’s frequently bundled with more recent Nikon DSLR two lens kit, so the $350 price is a bit misleading in terms of its effective street market price.

Used Ikan FLY-X3-PLUS 3-Axis Gimbal Stabilizer for $111

The new condition Ikan FLY-X3-PLUS 3-Axis Smartphone Gimbal Stabilizer (for GoPRO and assorted other cradles) goes for $199+ in new condition, but if you like to save, you can get it in “Used – Like New” condition in damaged original packaging for the very specific price of $110.49 by Amazon Warehouse Deals itself. There are four separate listings, so this won’t likely sell out quickly.

This is another recent addition to the Warehouse Deals Bargain Bin sale.

Used Fotodiox Pro Lens Mount Adapter (Bronica ETR Lenses to Fuji X Cameras) for $21

Among the latest items featured in the Amazon Warehouse Deals Bargain Bin Sale, you can get in “USED – Like New” condition, in damaged original packaging, the Fotodiox Pro Lens Mount Adapter for Bronica ETR Mount SLR Lenses to Fujifilm X-Series camera bodies for the very specific price of $20.68 with free shipping for Prime members or with a $25+ order.

PS: this is not a Dolica, but I don’t want to create a separate post for it, it is the XShot XSP2 Pocket Camera Extender for $17 after coupon

Dolica GX650B204 Proline GX Series 65 inch Aluminum Tripod and Ball Head Combo for $58 after coupon

Amazon has different kinds of coupons. They have classic coupons that you have to type in the shopping cart, but they also have CLIP-ON COUPONS. You don’t have to type these, you simply click to virtually clip the coupons. This adds the coupon to your Amazon account, so if or when you buy an eligible product, while the coupon promotion is running, you will automatically get the discount.

One of the items that currently has a clip-on coupon is the Dolica GX650B204 Proline GX Series 65 inch Aluminum Tripod and Ball Head Combo. It goes for the very specific price of $62.55. After the $5 off clip-on coupon, it drops to $57.55 with free shipping.

The tripod goes for $55 at Adorama, however, Adorama has mandatory shipping that starts at $9~, so unless you have a way to get free shipping at Adorama, the total price is higher.

eBay User Agreement Update: Sellers may be charged Final Value Fee for eBay sales completed outside eBay

eBay did not wait until Friday night to sneak in announce new updates to their Terms of Service. According to an email sent to its members, the key change to the user agreement is that Sellers who try to complete eBay listing sales outside of eBay (to avoid paying the various eBay fees) may be charged Final Value Fees regardless. Not sure how eBay is going to find out, but that’s what the updated Terms and Conditions say.

ANALYSIS: Perhaps the reason this was announced in the middle of the week is because eBay wants people to read this and stop doing it 🙂
