Friday: MEH-rathon, Pho Fundamentals
Friday is here and we have an end of summer MEH-rathon (aka Woot-OFF) at the Meh website. Unlike Woot-OFFs, during MEH-rathons, you can purchase any of the previously posted deals during the day’s MEH-rathon – as long as they remain in-stock of course.
It’s back to basics at the Friday 9/22/23 Creative LIVE On-AiR free-streaming schedule. No, not Pho as in edible Pho, but Photography Fundamentals, an 86 minute class with John Greengo. The class will repeat multiple times throughout the streaming day [starts 12pm ET every day] as its runtime is about 1.5 hours.
Thursday: Light & Modifiers FREE-to-watch Class, Sachtler Etc
There’s no photography without light, and understanding light is key to photography! Which brings us to the headliner free-streaming class at creativeLIVE ON-AiR starting Thursday at 12pm ET, it is the 6 hour and 22 minute class “Understanding Light & Light Modifiers” with Mark Wallace. Given the runtime, it will air three times in full during the free-streaming window.
Adorama continues to run Top Deals mode at their daily deals, while Pepsi fans may be thrilled by Amazon because they have a Pepsi Promotion, spend $60+ on select products and get a $15 Amazon credit towards future purchases. Participating products include Pepsi, Gatorate, Lay’s, Quaker, Tostitos, Miss Vickie, Jacks, Doritos, SodaStream, etc. Everything you need for a quick transition to The Metabolic Syndrome 🙂
Yesterday it was lens day, today is a rather quiet day at the B&H Photo daily deals:
+ Sachtler Ace M Fluid Head with 2-Stage Aluminum Tripod & Mid-Level Spreader for $499
+ Roland mixer, Anton Bauer battery thing, Wall Mounts, Rotary Trimmer, case for a specific video camera (PXW-FX6)
Preorder the new irresistible Nikon Zf for $2000
Trigger warning: if you like sexy old-school style digital cameras, stop reading this as you may fall into a $2000 temptation 😉
Available for pre-ordering right now is the new Nikon Z f (Zf is a less goofy spelling in my opinion) mirrorless camera that wants to empty all your wallets! It is available for pre-ordering for $2000 as body only, or $2600 with the 24-70mm f4 lens or $2237 with the 40mm f2 lens.
Yes, slowly but steadily Nikon wants you to re-buy everything twice, in FX and DX, but in mirrorless this time 🙂
Pre-orders are accepted right now at B&H Photo and Adorama where you can optionally add the Nikon FTZ II adapter for +$150 as a bundle option.
Already plenty of reviewalia on the interwebs and also on the YouTube. YouTube-embedding below Kai W’s take. Let’s get him to 1 million subscribers! Trigger warning for US audiences, he says “Nikkkkon” and Zed 😉
Wedn: Uber Power Bank, Tenba, Sachtler, Browning, Nanuk, Etc
Do you find most of the power banks out there weak and powerless? Well, fear not because the Wednesday 9/20/23 MEH daily deal comes to the rescue with the Puleida 600W/518Wh Portable Power Station offered for $150 plus S&H [free for paying MEH-members]. It comes with a 90-day MEH warranty. It has various options including USB-A, USB-C, PD, AC, DC, but not AC/DC 😉 It weighs 10.4 pounds so you can incorporate it in your workouts as well OR use it as a doorstop or paperweight 😉
The CreativeLIVE ON-AIR free-streaming headliner starting on Wedn 12pm ET has us all confused about day and night 😉 IT is a 65 minute class, “Mobile Photography: Day for Night Effect” with Lisa Carney, and it will repeat multiple times throughout the day!

It’s the new condition Hikeback Lightweight Packable Backpack- 24L going for $15. Available in four color schemes, so it’s great for color-organizing or person-organizing. It also self-folds into a tight drawstring bag type thing for transportation. Shipping is FREE for Prime members. Comes with a 90-day Woot warranty. It uses “30D nylon”. Because 3D is so last year 😉
SPEAKING of B&H, their next planned holiday closing is Sunday 24 and Monday 25 and will reopen on Tuesday 26. With the usual Sabbath closing Friday PM to Saturday PM, it may be a good idea to place your orders right now if you have a time-sensitive order!
UPDATE: I didn’t want to create a separate post for just this thing, so I’m appending it here. Yes, on this blog, you also get the editing history of posts and you don’t have to be a Platinum member 😉
A limited “daily deal” type of thing at the Monoprice website is the new condition Monoprice USB-C Charger, 100W 1-port PD, GaN Technology, Foldable Wall Plug, going for $22 with free standard US shipping. Averages 4.8 out of 5 based on 11 customer reviews…

ON the .edu front, the CreativeLIVE ON-AIR front, the headliner free-streamer that started on Monday at 12pm ET is “Lifestyle Newborn Photography – In the Home” with Emily Lucazs, runtime 9 hours and 45 minutes, so it will air twice in full during the free-streaming window.
The “invite-only” deals for Prime members are back at the Amazon USA Gold Box. Me personally I find these type of attempts to generate deal-engagement a little bit 2010s, not 2020s 🙂
NO invites and NO prime memberships are needed for another Kindle-crashing sale, this time the Kindle eBook sale has 485 options!
Also open to all is another iteration of the ANKER charging sale, this time with 13 options of the wall and portable charging and of course cables.
Speaking of cables, I would do not want to be Lightning cable seller right now! OUCH!
Sunday: Etc
It just dawned on me, when we say “baby photography” do we mean teach the baby about photography, or photographing the baby, or both?
Which brings us to the headliner Creative LIVE ON-AIR free-to-watch class, starting on Sunday at 12pm ET, “Baby Plans: Photographing the Early Years” with Julia Kelleher, with a runtime of 14 hours and 19 minutes, so it will only stream once during the free-streaming window.
More name-brand products have been added to the rotation at the Adorama Top Deals, while the B&H dailies, because of a holiday, remain the same.

Because DRM-loving Adobe is-not/should-not-be the center of the digital imaging universe.
Speaking of bad tech practices, Google did a really nasty sneaky thing, they are adding / have-added an ad tracking system in the Chrome browser and they are calling it a Privacy feature. This on desktop and mobile versions of Chrome. Two of the three “features” are automatically turned ON! Then the tech companies complain when they get fined billions 🙂
A great write-up on this by (who else?) Ron Amadeo at Ars Technica, one of the last few remaining tech sites that are not just press release rewrites 🙂

Saturday: Bag the …Batteries Bags for $15 + S&H
We have a very special Bag the Bags for you for Saturday 9/9/23, mayhaps the first time ever mentioned on this blog, it’s battery bags! That’s right.

There are two sizes in the bundle and you get BOTH for $15 plus shipping (free for paying Meh-Meh-Meh-members). The bundle also includes two battery testers and two mini screwdrivers!
The battery testers can be quite handy because batteries that may appear dead in high-drain devices actually have enough juice in them to be used in low-drain devices like remote controls and such.
The kits are available in three color schemes from the fashionable “leopard” to the more subdued black and slate gray options.
At Adorama, they continue to be in Top Deals mode with a PTZ camera [I think that’s the correct name] headlining the action.
Fire TV devices, Samsung S22 flagships, Sony electronics and more can be found at the Amazon USA Gold Box.

Refurb Nikon 10×25 binos for $45, Nanuk 918 kit for $150 AC, Etc
The B&H 50-Year BILD party is over but you can (re)watch it at any time at the B&H YouTube channel. The link is to their “Live” tab. Recently YouTube changed their layout and the “Live” videos don’t show up under “Videos”, which is extra work for the viewers because you have to check at two places for new videos (unless you are signed up for Notifications and those are notoriously not reliable). Anyway, back on-topic!
The BILD event may be over, but as of the time of writing the BILD Expo Special Offers continue! I do not know when they will expire, mayhaps when the link stops working 🙂
Back to the daily grind, it is Friday today and as usual the B&H daily deals run until Saturday at 11:59pm ET or earlier if sold out:
+ refurb Nikon 10×25 Aculon A30 Binoculars (black, Nikon USA refurbished) for $45

FREE to Watch (starts Thur 12pm ET): 14-hour Food Photography Class
