Refurbished Olympus 8mm f1.8 fisheye [M43] for $660

The Olympus 8mm f1.8 fisheye lens (Micro Four Thirds) goes for $1000 at authorized dealers such as Adorama and B&H Photo with 4% promotional rewards, or 5% statement credit for Prime members paying with a Prime credit card at Amazon.

But if you want to save, then off to the Olympus Outlet store we go where they are offering this lens in manufacturer refurbished condition for $660 with free shipping and a 90-day Olympus USA warranty.

Now shipping: the Elinchrom ELB 1200 system

From a $6 used camera to a four figure lighting system we go! The Elinchrom ELB 1200 system is now in-stock and ready to ship at Adorama which has all the bundles and accessories nicely organized in one page. There are four bundles with prices ranging from $3500 to $3700, along with a variety of system accessories and batteries. It beats using flashlights 🙂

Used Vivitar 5.1MP Digital Camera with 1.8-Inch TFT for $6

If you need a basic camera to experiment upon, the badly reviewed Vivitar 5.1MP Digital Camera with 1.8-Inch TFT Panel has crashed down to $6 in “Used – Like New” condition in original packaging at Amazon Warehouse Deals. This is best suited for experimentation and DIY projects and such, not picture taking.

Free 2-day shipping for Prime members. It’s not an Add-On item ~ they really want to get rid of it 🙂

This was discovered while I was dumpster-diving in the Amazon Warehouse Deals Bargain Bin clearance.

Ten FREE 4×6″ photo prints at CVS on next T-Mobile Tuesday

If you are a T-Mobile customer, you are automatically eligible to get some “freebies” every Tuesday as part of their “T-Mobile Tuesdays” magenta overload program.

For Tuesday October 3 in 2017, one of the freebies are ten 4×6 inch photo prints at CVS. The offer is only good for store pickup, you have to be physically near a CVS stores, or have the orders print near someone else you know that can pick them up.

The offers are typically per line, not per account, so if you have more than one T-Mobile line on your account, you may be able to get multiple freebies. I think this is the first time they offer CVS photo print freebies, so I don’t think it is known how the mechanics of the offer work.

Free Philips Hue lightbulb with pre-orders of new Amazon Echo Plus device

Photography is light, any opportunity for free light is a good one 🙂 This sentence foreshadows a freebie of the lighting kind!

For a limited time, Amazon is offering a FREE Philips Hue light bulb when you pre-order their brand new Echo PLUS Alexa device. for $150. That’s the price with or without the Philips Hue at the moment. The Echo Plus is available in three color options.

When you add it to the shopping cart, it tells you there are two items in your order, but they show up as one entry, as a bundle of two items.

Also available for pre-order, but without a free Philips Hue are the Echo Spot for $130, and the new Echos for $100 to $120.

UPDATE: but that’s not all. Amazon has also revealed a brand new Fire TV with 4K Ultra HD and Alexa Voice Remote for just $70, undercutting most of the competition. But that’s not all. On the same listing, they have options with an OTA Antenna for $5 more, or with an Echo Dot in a “value meal” for $80 total.
