We have not one but two medium format deals this week 🙂 Also part of the B&H WPPI festivities, you can get the new condition Pentax 645Z medium format DSLR body only offered for $4997 with free expedited shipping and 4% promotional rewards, which, in this case, is a pretty solid amount, 4% of $5000 = $200 to spend in the future at B&H Photo!

But that’s not all. On the same listing, B&H has three “take pictures with” kits. With the 55mm f2.8 you pay $6000, or with the 75mm f2.8 you pay $5694, or with the 28-45mm f4.5 you pay $9246. No 4% promotional rewards with the “with lens” kits.

(ENDED) Used Nikon D850 body only for $2800 w/free S&H

As of a 7:22pm ET recheck, the eBay listing has ended/closed… For the big picture, check the Stock Status Tracker…

To the Land of eBay we go with what looks like a higher risk purchase than a retail purchase, so if you are risk-averse you may want to skip this. eBay seller “Smart Pawn Shopper” (99.8%, Southern California) is offering a used Nikon D850 body only for $2800 with free shipping. The listing has pictures of the actual camera and a list of what’s included. They also have “Make Offer” enabled. Check the listing and the seller in detail before buying if interested. Again, this is a higher risk purchase, so if the chance of problems keeps you up at night, just avoid it 🙂

B&H WPPI 2018 Specials start on Sunday at 12:01am ET

The B&H Photo WPPI 2018 Specials will begin on Sunday at 12:01am eastern! I will have more detailed posts after they go live, but it will most likely be Sunday morning (after sunrise), not when they go live on Sunday at 12:01am eastern. So I’m posting this for any of you that may be checking in before me, so you won’t miss out on the excitement the moment they go live.

Pentax K-1 Getting $550 Optional Upgrade with K-1 II Internals

Putting to shame larger camera manufacturers, Pentax announced that existing Pentax K-1 photographers (this is a two year old camera, announced February 2016 [see New Cameras of 2016]) won’t be left behind! They are offering an optional $550 hardware upgrade to the K-1 that will give it the K-1 II internals. The service will be provided by the trusty Precision Camera of Austin::Texas between May 21 and September 30 in 2018. The service won’t be available before or after this date range. Details at the press release which describes the changes as follows (with more details as we get closer to upgrade time):

“The PENTAX K-1’s main circuit board will be replaced to add new functions featured in the new PENTAX K-1 MKII. Additionally the current SR logo on the PENTAX K-1 MKII will be replaced with the new PENTAX K-1 MKII logo.”

Speaking of the upcoming K-1 II, Amazon itself is now accepting pre-orders for $2000 but unlike Adorama and B&H Photo, Amazon does not currently include the Pentax D-BG6 for FREE with pre-orders. Eventually the Amazon AI Bots may wake up and add it but for now, it’s not included.

It will be interesting to see what this upgrade option will do to the used prices of the Pentax K-1, since the Upgrade optional increases the value potential of the camera. However, the four month upgrade window further complicates things since there is a cut-off point. The lowest used price as of the time of writing is $1600 in “Used – Condition 10” at B&H Photo and “Like New Minus” at KEH Camera. Amazon’s own Warehouse Deals (not 3rd-party sellers there) offers it for $1428 but no warranty (KEH offers 180 days, B&H 90 days). Warehouse Deals offers a 30-day satisfaction guarantee only. Mayhaps some Options Trading technology may be needed to figure this one out 🙂

12pk Panasonic Eneloop AA (2000 mah) for $25.49 w/FS

If you go loopy for Eneloops (I have definitely overused this attempt at a joke), the new condition Panasonic Eneloop model BK-3MCCA12FA, a 12-pack of AA size 2000mah (2100 recharge cycle, these two number can get easily confused) are on sale for $25.49 with free shipping by Amazon itself with free shipping for all since it crosses the $25 threshold. You can buy as many as you like. This is not a lightning deal, so expiration time unknown. An old fashioned sale or a price match.

Panasonic G9 In-Stock NEW for $1700, USED for $1500

An early bird update of the Stock Status Tracker has good news for fans of the Panasonic G9! The camera is in-stock and shipping in new condition from authorized dealer Samy’s Camera (one unit left per the page over there).

If you are a fan of used, there are two “Used – Demo” condition listings at Adorama for $1500 plus shipping. This is shown under the “Buy for as low as $1499.00 in Used” in small print on their website. I can’t find them by searching their USED department.

Fuji X70 on its way out but still available for $700

Fuji has cut back on the number of fixed lens X-series cameras it is making and as of the time of writing (price-check for the upcoming Fixed Lens Cameras Price Chart) the Fuji X70 is gone and cannot be ordered at Adorama and B&H Photo. It is still orderable at Amazon by Amazon itself at its typical price of $700. It is in the all-encompassing “temporarily out of stock” status, so shipping estimate is unknown.
