Mon: Sigma 35mm f1.4 DG ART HSM for $749 (C/N/A/P and E)

If lenses are kings, it’s the Return of the King at the Monday B&H Photo daily deals with a lens leading the way. It is the new condition Shiguma 35mm f1.4 DG ART HSM lens going for $749 with free shipping in five different systems. Yes, there are at least four young mirrorless-generation of photographers: Canon, Nikon, Sony A, and Pentax K. The lens is also available for Sony E… I don’t know if it’s foreshadowing or a bad omen, but the lens has …404 customer reviews as of the time of rating 🙂

There’s two more items in the B&H daily deals, the MeFoto GlobeTrotter (not from Harlem through) Air Travel Tripod going for $50 in your choice from five trendy/trending color schemes of the pastel-inspired kind. There’s also a TP-Link smart-something thing…

Of potential interest to EU shoppers in the Monday Amazon Germany Gold Box, it’s the Huawei P20 going for 399 euro, the P Smart+ [mayhaps they didn’t think of the giggle-inducing name in casual-speak english] for 219 euro, and the 10.1-inch Samsung Galaxy Tab A (T585) tablet with LTE going for 190 euro…

Meanwhile at the Woot website there’s yet another MacBook sale, some HP Pavilion desktops, and an Android blast from the past with an unlocked Droid Turbo 2 smartphone…

Also part of the sale is the FilmPack 5 for $70 and the ViewPoint 3 for $70… The Elite editions of the aforementioned software cost more [as it is often the case with these type of things]…

PSA: KEH Camera website remodel/redesign

You are not imaging things. The KEH website looks different indeed! That’s because there is a website remodel/redesign, and as per the rotating ticker on their site over there, they are actively looking for feedback on the new design, especially if you are having problems…

With so many viewports these days with desktops, laptops, 4K screens, AiOs, tablets, smartphones of all sizes, 2-in-1s, browsers of all sorts, etc, etc, etc, it’s a herculean task for a website design to cover all bases. Thus the request for feedback 🙂

Dell’s Presidents Day Preview sale

Black Friday begins in September these days, so of course Presidents Day sales begin before Valentine’s. And Valentine’s sales begin before the SuperBOWL 🙂 Anyways, the Dell website is running a Preview sale featuring an assortment of laptops, desktops, AiOs, mortal computer monitors and UltraSharps, and some TVs for good measure…

But that’s not all. When you scan through the page you will also notice an Intel Optane promotion that gets you a $100 VISA gift card with the purchase of select systems.

What is Intel Optane? Wikipedia does not have a good page on it, but the search engines are your friend, here’s what Duck Duck Go finds… In case you are looking to do a “Seven Days challenge” like the Gizmodo journalist tried [via Techmeme]…

CL: up to 60% off Fashion Photography classes

CreativeLIVE is running another limited time sale, this one gets you up to 60% off select Fashion Photography classes. The price you see is the price you pay.

If you are not fond of paying though, CreativeLIVE has you covered as well. You can watch for FREE select classes when they are streaming live at the ON-AIR LIVE page. There is a detailed schedule over there, with world premiers clearly marked… A variety of topics are coming up in the next week, from heavy wedding focus [it’s Valentine’s after all] to wine tasting. Wine tasting vs ISO comparisons, are they really the same thing? 😉

Speaking of world premieres, if you are a fan of bird photography, save the date! March 20 is the live free-to-watch world premiere of Frans Lanting’s “The art of photographing birds”. This classes will decidedly be more useful than my work-in-progress class “Bird Posing 101” 😉

If you are a fan of Nikon-branded lenses and tripods, you are in luck! For a limited time, Adorama is running a free Tripod with select Nikon lenses promotion. The free tripod depends on which lens you buy. The MeFoto Roadtrip tripod is free with either the Nikkor 14-24/2.8G or the 24-70/2.8G, while the Fotopro X-Go is free with either the 24-70/2.8E or the 70-200/2.8E… So the aforementioned G lenses get the MeFoto while the aforementioned E lenses get the Fotopro…

EU: 128GB Sandisk Ultra SDXC for 20 euro

Amazon Germany is back with more Sandisk memory card sales! These are limited time offers but they are not tied to the daily deals [which occur in the German time zone], so the expiration date/time is unknown to me…

We start with the SDXC memory cards, their new condition 128GB Ultra SDXC (C10, UHS-I, up to 80MB/sec) is on sale for just 20 euro. This is sold and shipped by Amazon itself and it is available in your choice of frustration-free packaging or standard packaging. The limit is up to five per customer at the sale price. Not sure if you can buy five of each packaging, or five total.

Next up we move to the microSD cards. The new condition 200GB Ultra microSDXC (A1, C10, U1) goes for 33 euro with up to five per customer. This defeats the 128GB for 23 euro in terms of $/GB. You pay less than 50% more, but you get more than 50% in extra storage…

Or if you can to solve for a lower price, the new condition 128GB Transcend microSDXC (C10, UHS-I) goes for the very specific price of 18.79 euro per customer…

MicroSD is not just for smartphones any more as the number of digital cameras (including a few iLCs eg Panasonic GX800) take the microSD cards. Most of them include full-size SD adapters, or you probably already have a drawer full of them from previous memory card purchases…
