KEH Camera: 20% off select Prime Lenses w/coupon [10% off most other Lenses]
UPDATE: non-Amazon and non-Prime readers are getting bombarded with Prime-only deals, so to sooth the pain, I am re-prioritizing this two-day KEH Camera prime lens coupon that is good for all shoppers, not just Prime members 🙂
KEH Camera is jumping on the “Prime Day” party with a “Prime” deal of its own. You know where this is heading right? SPOILERS in the next paragraph if you want to guess before I spoil it 😉
Good until Tuesday 7/16/19 at 11:59pm eastern time, coupon code LNS7A gets you the following discounts:
+ 20% off on the Featured Prime Lenses
+ 10% off on most other Lenses at KEH Camera
+ as usual, restrictions and exclusions apply
Various Pelican and Nanuk cases in Prime Day Lightning Deals
We couldn’t possibly go through Prime Day without having a “Bag the Bags” type of a post… And as fate would have it, around this time, there’s a handful of Nanuk and Pelican camera cases making the rounds in the Lightning Deals. You can find them by perusing the 70-odd offerings that are currently available in the Camera and Photo category…
Or if you want to cast a wider net, there are over 600 offerings in the Electronics category, of which “Camera and Photo” is typically a subset. Typically because I can’t really test every single listing, so I can’t say with 100% certainty 🙂
And speaking of Prime Day deals, here’s a bundle of potential interest for Googloid fans, the 12.3″ Pixel Slate bundle consists of the Slate (12.3″, 2-in-1, Core m3, 8GB RAM, 64GB storage) bundled with the Pixel Slate keyboard, all together for $700 for Prime members…
Prime Deal: Fotodiox Mount Adapters for various older systems
Good until 3:05pm ET (or earlier if sold out) there is a Prime Day lightning deal on select Fotodiox lens mount adapters for various older camera systems. In addition to the Prime Day discount, some of them have a green clip-on coupon for 20% off that you see on the product page. I don’t know if the coupon discount is compatible with the Gold Box discount.
The 20% off clip-on coupon is for everyone, so you can get some discount even if you are not a Prime member…
Prime Deal: GoPRO HERO5 Black for $150
Good until 2:45pm ET (or earlier if sold out), Prime Members can get the new condition GoPRO HERO5 Black in e-commerce packaging for $150 with free shipping. As of the time of writing, it is 18% claimed…
Some of the other day-long Prime Day 2019 sales that I have yet to mention:
+ new condition 10.5″ iPad PRO with Cellular (previous generation) for $629 to $699 (storage varies from 256GB to 512GB; some colors cost more than others)
+ AiO, Tablets & Laptop sale, 27 options from Acer, Samsung, HP, ASUS, Dell, LG, Lenova, etc
+ Computer Gaming sale with computers and monitors with over 40 options from ASUS, MSI, Razer, Acer, CyberPower, Dell, iBuyPOWER, Corsair and more
+ Chromebook sale with 15 options from Acer, ASUS, Samsung, HP and Lenova with prices ranging from $145 to $600; with the Web bloating and ChromeOS adding features and OS bloat, it is a good idea to go for 4GB RAM, not 2GB RAM for Chromebooks ~ unless the usage plan is strictly uni-tasking with hunt-and-peck typing
Prime Day at Amazon Germany Part II: Canon Cameras, Wacom, Epson Printers, Etc
Earlier today, I posted Part #1 of the Amazon Germany Prime Day round-up. In this post, we have Part II, more interesting things in the Prime Day Gold Box that I had not previously posted:

+ some video camcorders too
Prime Deal: $50 iTunes Gift Card for $40 [ends 7pm ET]
Good until 7pm ET on Monday or earlier if sold out, also part of the Prime Day 2019 party, you can pay $40 and get a $50 iTunes gift card. This is a plastic gift card delivered by mail. It is 15% claimed as of 8:44am ET. Of interest especially if you like to buy camera and photography apps in the App Store, rent/buy photography-related docs/videos/movies and e-books and such. And of course anything else you want from iTunes.
This too is restricted to Prime members. But if you want to jump in, you can start a 30-day FRee Prime trial and jump in as many deals as you want right away…
Prime deal: Polaroid Originals OneStep bundles from $98 to $111
I’ve lost track on who owns the Polaroid brand these days but they have a trio camera + film bundles on sale as part of the Prime Day festivities:

+ OneStep+ White w/Black & White Film for I-Type for $107~
+ OneStep+ White w/ 600 Two Pack Film Set (1 Color + 1 B&W) for $111
Prime Deal: 120pk Fuji Instax Mini value pack for $71
Also restricted to Prime members, a 10% off discount drops the price of this 120pk Fuji Instax Mini value pack from $79 to around $71.
Also during Prime Day, you may see offers in your shopping cart to get an Amazon Chase VISA credit card and/or an Amazon Store credit card. The latest offer I’ve seen is a $60 off instant discount towards your purchase when you apply and approved for the Amazon Store credit card…
Prime Deal: Rokinon 8mm f2.8 UMC fisheye II for $208 [Fuji X, EF-M, Sony E] (ends 12:35pm ET)
Also one of the Lightning Deals of the Prime Day festivities is another new condition …prime lens. It is the Rokinon 8mm F2.8 UMC Fisheye II offered for $208~ for Prime members only in your choice of Fuji X, Canon EF-M and Sony E (APS-C). They are between 11% and 18% claimed as of 8:25am ET. The sale ends 12:35pm ET or earlier for any options that manage to sell out ahead of its designated expiration…
Prime Deal: Rokinon 35mm f1.4 Auto Focus for $441 (FE) [ends 1:30pm ET]
Prime members, grab your e-wallets. Or more specifically your Amazon e-wallets because you have until 1:30pm ET today (or earlier if sold out) to decide whether you want to buy the new condition Rokinon 35mm f1.4 Auto Focus FE lens for the Sony E-system for $441~ with free shipping. This price is for Prime members only. It is 9% claimed as of 8:22am ET so it’s unlikely to sell out…
Best Buy launches “Prime Day” deals too
All aboard the Prime Day express! Best Buy has launched its own Not-So-Prime-Day deals and among the many options they have:
+ DJI Ronin-S essentials for $499, Gimbal for DSLR/mirrornyet for $650

IF you prefer to shop for these on Amazon, a number of them, where possible, they are usually price-matched, so price-check them on Amazon if you prefer…
The Marathon is far from over, but I will be taking a couple of hours for a sanity break and then into the madness we geaux once again 🙂
Rokinon AF 24mm f2.8 FE for $269
B&H Photo has also launched their own Not-Prime Day sale, and among them they have a prime lens, the new condition Rokinon AF 24mm f/2.8 FE going for $269 with free shipping. This is an Auto Focus lens for the Sony E system. This is a limited time and limited quantity sale that ends Tuesday night OR earlier if the allocated sale units are depleted…
Fuji X-H1 body only for $1200
It’s an interchangeable lens camera offered in the Prime Day deals of 2019! It is the new condition Fuji X-H1 body only going for around $1200 by a trio of recognizable camera sellers through amazon.com: Green Mountain Camera, and The Pixel Collection and Green’s Camera World. These ship directly from the sellers but get Prime-like free shipping [they are not however “fulfilled by Amazon” ~ it is a lesser known Prime Benefit).
Prime Day Instant Cameras and Printers IN-CART discounts: Fuji Instax Mini 26 w/film for $40, HP Toad the Wet Sprocket for $60, Etc
If you don’t feel like diving into the big Amazon Gold Box, this is a pre-filtered link that shows most of the day-long Camera & Photo Prime Day deals. Of instant camera and instant print action interest they have in-cart discounts for Prime members only. The price you see for these offers is what everyone pays. When you are logged on with a Prime account and add it to the shopping cart, the price will drop in the shopping cart. As usual, it has to be the correct seller (Amazon itself or designated 3rd-party seller)…
+ Fujifilm Instax Mini 26 + Rainbow Film Bundle for $51 minus 20% off = $40~
+ HP Sprocket Portable Photo Printer, X7N07A, Print Social Media Photos on 2×3 Sticky-Backed Paper for $60

Monday: NewEgg launches “Prime Day” deals too
Not wanting to miss the party, NewEgg has just launched totally not Prime Day Monday deals that are good until 11:59pm pacific on Monday 7/15/19. Some of the offers require a promo code (it is shown next to the item) and in order to use that, you must needs be a member of the NewEgg email list. This is a bit of a moot point because you usually give them your email address when you are about to buy something ~ but what do I know ~ marketing works in mysterious ways 🙂
The sale includes the usual assortment of technology (the official theme of the sale is “Fantastic Tech”). Of camera and photo interest:
+ DJI Spark Mini Quadcopter Drone Fly More Combo (Alpine White) for $460
+ Intel i9-9900 KF Coffee Lake 8-core 16-thread for $440 after promo code
Totally not like the Amazon Gold Box, more offers wil unlock at NewEgg throughout the day so stay tuned if you are of the Nuevo Huevo persuasion…
