This offer expired but for all the latest updates, check the mega-post that is the Prime Day 2017 Situation Room…
Amazon is getting hipster-ironic by offering Prime lenses on Prime Day 🙂 Ending by 7pm ET on Tuesday as part of the Prime Day 2017, there is a lightning deal on the Rokinon 14mm f/2.8 prime lens in the Canon EF with built-in AE option for $333~ with free shipping. There are no other mounts on this listing. The price before the sale is $399.
CreativeLIVE: up to 50% off Classes
Online classes too are jumping on the Prime Day hype train. CreativeLIVE is having a Mid-Year up to 50% off Sale on their classes. The price you see over there, is the price you pay. No coupon code needed.
But if you prefer not to pay, and you have schedule flexibility, you can watch classes for FREE when they are originally recorded online. Check their ON-AIR SCHEDULE for the upcoming schedule. There’s a variety of classes, including camera-centric courses (eg T6, 80D, 77D, D-Rebel T7i), and photography and post-processing and more.
Note for RSS Readers: Prime Day Situation Room Tracking Mega Post is In Progress
This note is for those of you following on RSS news readers and services that depend on RSS. The Prime Day Situation Room tracker-style mega-post will be continuing with Prime day coverage until Wednesday AM. I will be posting some hot deals as individual blog posts (which you’ll see through RSS), but I can’t post everything as an individual blog-post, it will create blog and RSS overflow.
Your RSS reader may be able to automatically refresh the Prime Day Situation Room post. You can put it in a folder or bookmark it or favorite it if you want to check throughout Prime Week. Unfortunately there are too many RSS readers and services and each use various apps of their own along with 3rd-party apps, so testing which ones refresh and which ones don’t would be a big project in its own right.
Olympus 12-40mm f2.8 with $32 Rewards for $800 [M43]
After the Prime Day madness I will be making adjustments so I can better track the various Camera and Lens Instant Savings promotions. The July 2017 Price Charts were the first step. Until then, it’s helter skelter…
… which brings us to the Olympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 12-40mm f/2.8 PRO lens going for $800 with free expedited shipping at B&H Photo along with 4% promotional rewards ($32~ to be spent in the future at B&H).
Pre-order new Leica TL2 Mirrorless
It’s new camera time! Leica has officially announced the new TL2 mirrorless camera, with a 24mp APS-C sensor and Leica L-Bayonet Mount. It is available in the two customary Leica black and silver color schemes, with a pre-order price of $1950 at B&H Photo.
This new mirrorless camera now “evens the score” as we have 7 new DSLRs and 7 new Mirrorless cameras in 2017. There’s still plenty of time until the end of the year. But there is no Photokina this year, so we may need a penalty shootout if it ends up being a tie 😉
Find this Useful? Then Please Tell Your Friends!
If you find our non-stop coverage of Prime Day 2017 useful, then please consider telling all your friends who are interested in camera and photo shopping and madness! This is one of the best ways to help support this blog, the more interested people, the merrier 🙂
You can point them to the Home Page or the on-going Prime Deals Situation Room (a goofy name for an on-going round-up). You may also point out to them that we have a free full text RSS feed.
Thanks 🙂
(ENDED) B&N Coupon: 10% off $35+ or 15% off $60+ orders
This coupon promotion expired…
(ENDED) Prime Day Has Began!
Prime Day is now over…
If you are following the updates on RSS, our Prime Day coverage is centered on the Prime Day Situation Room, a mega-post that is frequently updated as deals come out. Due to the chaotic nature of these, I can’t create individual new posts for every single deal. It would create over 100 posts per day! Check the latest action at the Prime Day Situation Room or at the Amazon Prime Day page.
(ENDED) Monday: Davis & Sanford TR654C-36 Traverse Carbon Fiber Grounder Tripod With Ball Head for $100, Etc
These offers expired but for more action, check their Featured Sales…
(ENDED) Rokinon 14mm F2.8 Full Frame Auto Focus Lens for Sony E-Mount for $489
This Prime-Day offer expired…
We have another serious lens in the Prime Day Lightning Deals, ending by 11:19pm ET on Tuesday, the Rokinon 14mm F2.8 Full Frame Auto Focus Lens for Sony E-Mount going for $489 with free shipping. The price before the sale is $659. This is only available for the Sony E system. Yes, this is an Auto Focus lens, a miracle of modern Rokinon engineering 🙂
(ENDED) Buy $25+ Amazon Gift Card, Get $5 Promo Credit [ends Wedn 3am ET]
This Prime Day offer expired at 3am ET on Wednesday 7/12/17…
(ENDED) Starts Monday 9pm ET: Microsoft Store 1-Day Sale
This 24 hour sale ended too…
This is a heads-up! Starting at 9pm Eastern today (Monday 7/10/17), the official Microsoft online store is going to be having a
One Day Sale with free shipping and free returns. Sale prices will be revealed when the promotion starts. I am posting it ahead of time for those interested. 9pm ET is when the Amazon Prime Day begins, so at that point in time, I will be a digital Doug Flutie.
(ENDED) Samyang 12mm f2 for $254 (Sony E)
This offer ended…
Another one of today’s busy Lightning Deals of the Amazon Gold Box is currently live, good until 2:05pm ET today, the Samyang SY12M-E-BK 12mm F2.0 Ultra Wide Angle Lens for Sony E is on lightning deal for $254~ in the silver color scheme. The listing for the black color scheme appears to be confused (most likely sold out) in terms of the lightning deal offer. The price before the sale was $319 last night.
(ENDED) Rokinon 135mm f2 for $375 (Sony E-mount) [ends Mon 2pm ET]
This offer ended…
The Gold Box widget had pointed to the Canon EF version of the Rokinon 135mm f2 lens when I posted the Lightning Deals schedule last night, but now that the promotion has gone live, it turns out it is ONLY the Sony E-mount version that is a lightning deal, going for $375 with free shipping until 2:05pm ET today! Since it is “hidden” like that from Gold Box viewers, it has no chances of selling out before its expiration 🙂
(ENDED) YI 4K+/60fps Action Camera with Waterproof Case for $280
This sale ended…
The new condition YI 4K+/60fps Action Camera with Waterproof Case with RAW capture is on sale for $280 with free shipping at Amazon.com offered at this price by both the YI Amazon store, and by Amazon itself. This is not a lightning deal but an “organic” sale. It is NOT restricted to Prime members.
Pre-order new Gitzo 100 Year Anniversary Tripods
Nikon has launched their 100 Year Anniversary products but they are not the only ones celebrating 100 years. If you are a fan of Gitzo Tripods, they have in very limited quantities two new 100-Year Anniversary tripods. Just like the Nikon cameras, they are priced for collectors and hardcore fans in terms of pricing.
The Gitzo 100-Year Anniversary Edition Tripod with Ball Head goes for $1500, while the Gitzo 100-Year Anniversary Arsene Gitzhoven Edition Tripod with Ball Head goes for $3000. They are expected to ship in late October 2017.
The former can be purchased online, but the latter (the $3000 model) can only be ordered in-store or by calling B&H and it is not returnable and non-cancelable. The $1500 model is a regular internet purchase without the above restrictions.

As usual, restrictions apply. You can test the coupon and get a S&H estimate without logging in or signing up.

Per the shopping cart, this is restricted to Prime members. The restriction is on the purchase of the lens, which obviously blocks the use of the coupon for non-Prime members. Coupon expires 7/11/17 PM.
Also eligible for this 20% off clip-on coupon is the Canon DSLR version dropping from $300 to $240. Same expiration date.

Lens Coupon (!): $25 off Rokinon 8mm f2.5 Fisheye makes Canon $175, Nikon $204, Pentax $244, Alpha $254
Coupons for groceries are common. Coupons for lenses, not so much. But they do exist. Right now. At Amazon, there is a clip-on coupon (no code to enter, just click to clip the coupon to your Amazon account), that gets you $25 off the current price of the Rokinon 8mm f2.5 Fisheye lens. Amazon itself must needs be the seller for the coupon to work. After the coupon is factored in, it makes the Canon EF drop to $175, the Nikon F drop to $204, the Pentax K drops to $244, and the Sony Alpha drops to $254. Coupon expires 7/11/17 PM.
If you are not familiar with these, here’s a screenshot of what to look out for:
UPDATE: the non-HD Canon version has its own 20% off clip-on coupon, bringing the price of the Rokinon FE8M-C 8mm F3.5 Fisheye from $200 down to $160. Coupon expires 7/11/17.
Prime Only: 20% off select Amazon Warehouse Deals items in Cart
Select items at Amazon Warehouse Deals get an automatic 20% off discount in the shopping cart. There’s no coupon code to enter. The price drops after you add it to the shopping cart. Eligible items mention it in their used listings. Only items sold by Amazon Warehouse Deals itself are eligible, not by other sellers. Offer ends Monday night 7/10/17.
Amazon Warehouse Deals sells used and refurbished items. Just like the regular new condition Amazon purchases, both Amazon itself and 3rd-party sellers are offering products. As usual, be careful when seeing “Just Launched” or otherwise iffy sellers, especially if they are offering the product for the lowest price or a too good to be true price or ask you to contact them before buying.
This is one of the first wave Prime Day deals. You can find this and many more at the on-going Prime DAY Situation Room.
In other Amazon Prime deals, the certified refurbished Amazon Echo goes for $90 in black or white, with a limit of one color per customer. Offer ends by 3am ET on Sunday or earlier if they sell out of them.
Prime Day offers are only available to Prime members. If you are Prime curious, this is a good opportunity to start a 30-day free trial and participate in the festivities. We have a Comprehensive Guide to Prime Benefits if you need a refresher…
