Welcome to the Camera Dome :)
Things are also hopping at the eBay Deals where the BuyDIG eBay store is offering the manufacturer refurbished Nikon D7500 two lens kit (18-55, 70-300, both DX VR lenses) for $900 with free shipping and a 90-day Nikon USA warranty. Limit up to five per customer at the sale price.
This can serve as a “take pictures with” entry-point into the Nikon APS-C DSLR system for more advanced photographers. As to the lenses, one or both can be sold/traded/gifted if they are not wanted/needed.
One of the high profile Black Friday deals featured in the various BF flyers, leaks and teasers is the Nikon D3500 two lens kit (18-55 DX VR, 70-300 DX non-VR) going for $500 (okay, $498) at authorized dealers, some of which are also bundling it with extras… At Adorama you get a 16GB Lexar, Nikon DSLR value pack, and such… At B&H Photo you get the Nikon DSLR Value pack, an F/Stoppers class [bundled with many products there during the BF/CM season], 16GB Sandisk, etc… At Amazon you get the Nikon DSLR value pack and 5% cashback if paid with a Prime cedit card…
If you don’t need the 70-300 lens, the D3500 w/18-55 DX VR kit goes for $400 at the same dealers mentioned above…
This offer is primarily of interest to fans of the KOHLS department stores, or anyone who does not object to shopping there to spend the rewards. For this offer, you must be part of the KOHLS rewards program or be willing to join it. It is free to join.
The offer is this. For every $50 you purchase, you earn $15 in Kohls rewards. Despite the name “Kohl’s Cash” this is not real cash, but virtual money you can spend sort of like cash at Kohls stores. Thus if you are a regular shopper there, it’s a good deal.
Which brings us to the Canon D-Rebel T6 w/18-55 which sells for $399.99. As it is, it earns $105 in Kohls rewards. But if you add any filler item priced $0.01+, your total goes to $400+, thus you earn an additional $15 in Kohls rewards. Kohls sells a gazillion of things, including many small trinkets, so it shouldn’t be hard to find some little thing to add.
So for Kohls Rewards members, this is sort of like paying $280 for this DSLR kit ~ again, assuming you have no problem spending the Kohls rewards on things you want/need. Between rewards and coupons and special promotions, you can get some really good deals at Kohls – if you have the time/energy/interest to chase these things ~ the chances of which increase if you are reading this sentence!
PRO TIP: you can rinse and repeat this type of a promotion with any other camera of interest that is carried by Kohls. Kohls is no B&H, so selection is pretty limited, eg popular instant cameras, basic P&S, etc…
If you are a fan of Sigma lenses, a total of 119 options are participating in the latest Sigma Lenses Instant Savings promotion that is part of the ever-growing B&H Black Friday sale for 2018. A mix of DSLR and mirrorless system lenses are available. Some of the lenses come with freebies (eg lens docks). Some of the lenses earn promotional rewards that can be used in future purchases at B&H…
NOTE that this is 119 options, not 119 different/unique lenses. For example if fictitious lens 5mm f0.005 is available in ten different mounts, it will appear as ten options under the above listings…
PS: and before you say 5mm f0.005 cannot be done, check the camera store at the Reptilian Mothership above the Equator 😉

The sale includes both lenses for DSLRs and for mirrorless camera systems. All but one are in-stock and ready to ship. The other one is a “special offer”…
PS: by now you may be curious to find out which one of the 61 lenses is the “special offer”. If you don’t want to find out yourself, here’s the SPOILER: it’s the Biogon T* 35mm f2 ZM in the silver color scheme.
PS2: Biogon sounds like the name of a fictional company working in biology/genetics from a videogame or superhero comic?
Sunday has also brought with it a new round of Canon Instant Savings featuring a mix of DSLR and mirrorless and Powershot cameras, along with lenses, bundles and accessories. For example, the EF 40/2.8 STM is down to $129 with 4% rewards, while the 6D II and 5D Mark IV get free battery grips. The 6D II body only is at its lowest price of $1300, while the 5D IV at $2800.

PS: to make sure I type the correct company name, this is indeed a Tokina lens, not a Tamron. Both with six characters, start with a T, and share 4 out of the 6 letters in their names. It’s as if they wanted to confuse us 😉
