Welcome to the Camera Dome :)
This auction ended for $2950 with 62 bids placed…
A quick look at the Stock Status Tracker reminded us that today is the last day of the user-listed Nikon D850 body only auction. As of the time of writing (aka OP as in Original Post as in 10:26am ET), the price is $2950 with 62 bids. Shipping is an extra $13~.
Another development from the update of the Stock Status Tracker is another “sale by user” for the Nikon D850 body only. It is in USED condition and an Auction-style eBay Listing. It is currently going for $2800 with 59 bids. It ships from North Carolina for $13, from a 100% eBay user (91 transactions). The auction ends on Monday at 3:32pm eastern. Mayhaps the Superbowl will distract some and the price won’t skyrocket 🙂
In other stock update action, the Panasonic G9 body only is back in-stock at B&H Photo for its starting price of $1700 with free shipping…

The second development from the just-updated Stock Status Tracker is that the new condition imported grey market Nikon D850 body only by eBay seller “Deals All Year” has now dropped to $3250. The new condition at authorized Nikon USA dealers is $3300 (and still hard to find).
If of all the Canon EF-S lenses it is the Canon EF-S 17-85mm f/4-5.6 IS USM Lens the one you want, it is currently on sale for a limited time for $299 with free expedited shipping at B&H Photo. This is new condition with USA warranty.
On the other hand, if you are a fan of used lenses, you can get it in USED – Condition 8+ for $140 with free expedited shipping at B&H Photo. The “In the Box” section on the right side further down their Used product listings shows what’s included. In this case, it’s the lens, lens caps and a 90-day B&H Used warranty.
PS: to be 100% clear, this is a warranty for used items. The warranty is not used. It’s a new warranty for used items 🙂
Joss Whedon is not involved with the making of this Firefly! The new condition IRIX 11mm f/4 Firefly Lens is on sale for $525 with free expedited shipping until Wednesday at 11:59pm eastern at B&H Photo in the Canon, Nikon and Pentax K SLR/DSLR systems. These are manual focusing lenses with focus lock. Hooray for Pentax fans as this is a 3rd-party lens that offers a Pentax version before Sony/Sigma 🙂
Meanwhile the IRIX 15mm f/2.4 Blackstone Lens is on sale for $575 with free expedited shipping in the same three mounts at B&H Photo but no expiration date is mentioned on its sale.
Also part of Expiration Monday is a sale on the Rokinon 14mm f/2.8 IF ED UMC Lens for $259 with free shipping at B&H Photo in the Canon EF system and Sony E-Mount and Sony A-mount. Meanwhile the Nikon AE Chip version goes for $269, and the Pentax K-mount for $289. Some of the mount options receive 2% promotional rewards as well.

Just like we rounded-up the various B&H Tech Deals, in this post we rounding up some of the latest B&H Photo lens deals. Free shipping unless otherwise indicated below…
+ Sigma 105mm f/2.8 EX DG OS Macro with 4% promotional rewards for $569 in the Canon, Nikon, Sony A and Sigma SLR systems
+ Tamron SP 24-70mm f/2.8 DI VC USD with Hoya 82mm UV Haze NXT HMC Filter and $36 promotional rewards for $899 in the Canon and Nikon systems
+ this is the first generation, not the G2 model (second generation)
+ Lensbaby Velvet 85mm f/1.8 Lens for $399 in Fuji X, Sony E, Nikon F, Canon EF, Pentax K, Sony A, M43rds and even good old Samsung NX
+ Canon EF 11-24mm f/4L USM Lens with $108 promotional rewards for $2699
+ Zeiss Distagon T* 15mm f/2.8 ZE Lens for $1899 in Canon and Nikon (Nikon version gets 4% promotional rewards)
If you happen to want both the Nikon D7500 APS-C DSLR and the 18-55 DX VR and 70-300 f4.5-6.3G VR AF-P lenses, Costco has them in a bundle for $1600 with free shipping. You also get a 2-year extended warranty on the camera body (not the lenses) along with a 32GB SD card, an extra battery, a Nikon branded gagdet bag and a Nikon online class.
Non-members can buy this online with a 5% surcharge, which in this case is $80 more. Given that an annual Costco membership is $60 (Gold Star individual or Business member), it makes sense to sign up for a membership instead of paying the $80 non-member surcharge. Occasionally they have new member promotions that give you some freebies for your first membership year. Then with a membership you buy a mountain of toilet paper and “tp” all your frenemies 😉
This bundle may also be available at your local Costco store but they don’t have a store look-up option (yet???) on their website.
Another thing that surfaced during the Stock Status Update is that there are two live classic bid-style auctions on the Nikon D850 body only running on eBay and as fate would have it, they both end a few hours apart from each other. The listings end next Tuesday though, so the prices will definitely go up by then.
These are sold by individual eBay users, not camera retailers…
+ Auction #1 (eBay) in New-Other condition
+ $1675 with 44 bids as of blog-posting time
+ Auction #2 (eBay) in NEW condition
+ $1852 with 1 bid as of blog-posting time
The official Canon USA outlet store has launched two refurbished sales as follows:
+ refurbished Lenses and Speedlites (11 options)
+ refurbished Canon Powershot digital cameras (21 options)
+ NOTE: some of these are out of stock and they cannot be ordered while they are out of stock
+ I will “digest” these later today
Another day, another update of the Stock Status Tracker and we have some action on the Nikon D850 body only. The camera is offered in new condition, imported grey-market with a 1-year seller warranty for $2280 with free shipping by eBay seller Deals All Year (99.8%, New Jersey, up to three per customer).
The new condition price at authorized Nikon USA dealers is $3300.
The third generation is the latest model going for $2000, but if you prefer the second generation or a significantly lower price, the new condition Canon EF 16-35mm f/2.8L II USM is on sale for $1299 with free expedited shipping at B&H Photo for a limited time.
When the Amazon Price Bots play their game of thrones, you win sometimes because Amazon’s own price drops to match some of the 3rd-party sellers. Such is the case at the moment for the new condition Sigma 135mm f1.8 ART lens. You can get it for $1097 with free shipping in the Nikon F system and $1140 in the Canon EF system. These links point to Amazon’s own listing. Other 3rd-party sellers offer them there for less, but they don’t look like authorized dealers or recognizable names.
Limit three of each per customer. As this is a random Price Bot price-match, the price can change at any point in time. Amazon’s price bots work in mysterious ways 🙂
As of 1/21/18 AM recheck, this promotion expired… Original post after the break for historical reference…

Nikon revealed their first lens of 2018 at CES 2018, but decidedly not a consumer lens 🙂 It is the new Nikon NIKKOR 180-400mm f/4E TC1.4 FL ED VR AF-S available for pre-order for the price of a well used Honda Accord ($12,400) att Adorama and by Amazon itself and at B&H Photo.
