Buy Olympus E-M1 body and a Zuiko Four Thirds Macro Prime (35/3.5 or 50/2), Get the MMF-3 Four Thirds Adapter for FREE
The GetOlympus store has an intermediate level deal going on right now. Especially of interest if you live at the intersection of M43rds and Four Thirds… The camera is M43, the lenses are Four Thirds below…
If you purchase the Olympus E-M1 body only (Micro Four Thirds) together with either one of these two Four Thirds Lenses (Zuiko 35mm f3.5 or 50mm f2 macro), and the MMF-3 Four Thirds adapter, the price of the MMF-3 adapter will be deducted from your total. Of interest if you use both M43 and Four Thirds or are happy to use the Zuiko prime with the MMF-3 adapter.
The steps are simple. Let’s break it down:
- Add the Olympus E-M1 body only (select color) to the shopping cart
- add either the Zuiko 35mm f3.5 macro (Four Thirds Lens) or the Zuiko 50mm f2 macro (Four Thirds Lens)
- add the MMF-3 Four Thirds adapter to the shopping cart
- click the yellow Proceed to Checkout button (page-down over there if you don’t see it)
- the price of the MMF-3 adapter ($179.99) will be deducted from your total
- no coupon/rebate – discount happens automatically while this promotion is running
Example
In the example below, we have in the shopping cart the E-M1 body only ($1100), the MMF-3 adapter ($180), and the 35mm f3.5 Zuiko ($230). Their total is $1510. Then the price of the MMF-3 is deducted from the total, making it $1330.

50pk Canon 8.5×11 inch Matte Photo paper for $4.44 (limit 90)
The 50pk of Canon 8.5×11 inch Matte Photo Paper is currently on sale for $4.44 per 50pk at Amazon by Amazon herself. This is part of the Add-On program, so you must place a minimum $25 order in physical goods (shipped or fulfilled by Amazon), otherwise the shopping cart won’t let you buy it.
If you are a Prime member, you get free 2-day shipping (once you clear the Add-On threshold). If you are not a Prime member, you get the usual $35+ free super-saver shipping. You can jump over the $25 and $35 hurdles by buying multiple packs of this or any other combination of eligible physical groups. There’s more photo paper specials there to get you closer to $25+/$35+.

YMMV Targeted: Amazon Auto-Reload Rewards: $10 bonus + 1% bonus [Debit Cards only]
Please note this is a YMMV promotion. Amazon has been running multiple of these promotions the last few weeks, but each time, only a percentage of their customers are eligible. As fate would have it, I am finally eligible for one of these, so I can tell you what happens.
You find out if you are eligible if you are logged on to your Amazon account and visit the Auto Reload Rewards page. If you are eligible, you will see the promotion mentioned below.
*** this turned into a long post, more after the break ***
27-inch Dell UltraSharp U2715H QHD + $200 Promo Gift Card for $540
If you are looking for a new computer monitor and planning (or not objecting) to make additional future purchases at Dell Home, they have a nice deal on their 27-inch Dell UltraSharp U2715H monitor. You pay $550, and for that you receive the computer monitor and 10-20 days later, you receive via e-mail a $200 promotional Dell Gift Card.
When you add the monitor to the shopping cart, the $200 promo gift card will be added automatically by the Dell website (annotated screenshot below).
The promotional gift card expires 90 days after it is sent (unless your State prohibits this practice, in which case, it will last longer). So strategically, it is a good idea to plan both this and the next purchase to spend the $200 promo gift card.
Main monitor specs: 2560 x 1440 @ 60 Hz, IPS, Anti-Glare, 2 HDMI, DisplayPorts, no VGA, no DVI, USB ports (five down, one up), 178-degree viewing angles, 3yr warranty, etc. Averages 4.3/5 with 10 reviews at Dell’s and 4.5/5 with 360+ customer reviews at Amazon.
Offer ends on 10/5/2015 at 7am Central or earlier if sold out…
