B&H Mega Deal Zone: 77 Lens options participating

I accidentally started a B&H Photo Mega Deal Zone Marathon of Posts. I couldn’t possibly do this without a specific lens-centric post!

As of the time of writing there are 58 lenses participating including:

+ Sigma 12-24mm f4 DG HSM Art for $849
+ IRIX primes, including the 150mm f2.8 Macro 1:1 for $430 in Pentax K, Nikon F, Canon EF
+ lots and lots of Lensbabies
+ insert never-ending debate [whether they are “real” lenses or not] here

BUT WAIT, there’s more! There are 19 lenses in the Video Lenses category, from Sirui and Viltrox, many of them anamorphic.

PS: in the search-listings, each individual lens option counts as one. For example, if an imaginary 50mm 1.8 lens is available in six mounts, it will show up as six listings in the search results.
