Reminder: B&H’s OPTIC 2022 is June 12-15

Our last reminder, the 2022 B&H Photo OPTIC 2022 Trade-Show/Conference event is taking place June 12-15 in 2022 in The Big Apple! This is a hybrid in-person and virtual event! Registration is FREE! You can find, at the aforelinked page, the schedule and details and also check which events are in-person (eg photo-walks) and which are virtual and which are both.

NiSi V5, Delkin, Mefoto AIR, Bolt Wireless Flash [C/N/S/X], Samyang 12mm f2 AF for $399 [X]

Fri-YAY is here and as usual, the B&H Photo dailies run until Saturday at 11:59pm ET:

+ Samyang 12mm f2 AF for $399 in Fuji X
+ yes, Fuji X fans now have Samyang Auto Focus technologie!

+ NiSi V5 Pro 100mm Filter Holder Kit (Black or pink) for $90

+ BOLT VS-570C Wireless TTL Flash for $50 in Canon, Nikon, Sony, Fuji
+ check specs for specific camera compatibility and such

+ JBL boom-boom bluetooth speaker for $110

TTArtisan 35mm f1.4 for $73 [m43/X/E/L/Z/EF-M]

This is not a daily deal but an “organic” or manufacturer-initiated sale. Or something like that. The point being, I do not know when it expires 🙂

The TTArtisan 35mm f1.4 Lens is on sale for $73 at Adorama and also at B&H Photo in either the silver or black color scheme of the lens…

The sale price is good on the M43rds, Fuji X, Sony E, Leica L, Nikon Z and Canon EF-M options. The Leica M however is decidedly NOT on sale ($449).

On a totally unrelated note (I don’t have anywhere else to put it in LOL), REI is having a name-brand clearance sale on past-season styles. Since I’m five seasons behind, past-seasons are new seasons to me 😉

UPDATE!
There’s no camera-n-photo item in this round of Adorama daily deals (change Friday 6/10/22 at 10am ET) so I’m appending them to this post instead of creating a new one:

+ ASUS ZenBook Duo UX482 14″ Full HD Touchscreen Notebook for $1250
+ i7-1165G7 2.8GHz, 8GB RAM, 512GB SSD
+ Windows 10 Home, Free Upgrade to Windows 11

+ H&A Studio Monitor Stands (Pair) for $45

+ H&A HA-OML-XLR Professional Omni-Directional Lavalier XLR Microphone for $20

Preorder the new 12.4″ Surface Laptop GO 2 for $700-$800

Per The Fairness Doctrine (TM), since we previously mentioned the M-series MacBooks we must also mention a Microsoft Surface product 😉

And what a coincidence, the “Surface Laptop GO 2”, a multi-touch 12.4-inch actual laptop is now available for pre-ordering for $700 (128GB on-board) or $800 (256GB) at B&H Photo and Amazon and such…

This has 8GB RAM, 2.4 GHz Intel Core i5 4-Core (11th Gen), 12.4″ 1536 x 1024 PixelSense touchscreen with Intel Irix Xe graphics, Wifi 6, Bluetooth 5.1, one of each USB A and C ports, fingerprint reader, Windows 11, etc.

The laptop supports the Surface Pen but it is NOT included. It promises up to 13.5 hours battery life.

PS: 128GB is just too “Apple” (aka too little) for the price 🙂
