I don’t know when this was exactly released, but I just now noticed it. Please remember we are no longer on the daily beat of daily photography news and such 🙂

PS: the standard color version of the K-3 Mark III is currently on sale for $1700 at B&H Photo and at Adorama

Prime Dayz: Rokinon and Samyang Lens sales

One of the stables of Prime Dayz and Holiday shopping deals and Lightning Deals at Amazon are Rokinon and Samyang lenses. And like clockwork, there’s a 4-page sale of Rokinon/Samyang lenses.

Separate from the above, there’s another Rokinon lens sale, this one with 11 participants.

Too many to list here and too many to price-check here individually. You can price-check them at Adorama and B&H Photo if you like…

Prime Dayz: Zeiss Prime Lens Sale (8 options)

Zeiss-Zeiss Baby! As of the time of writing there are eight lens options that participating in the Zeiss Prime Dayz sale at Amazon, along with one Terra pocket bino.

Prime Dayz Pentax Lens Deals: 50/1.8 DA for $92, 55-300/4-5.8 ED WR DA for $230

+ Pentax HD DA 55-300mm f/4-5.8 ED WR for $230

+ Pentax DA 50mm f1.8 lens for $92

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.

Blackmagic Design Pocket Cinema Camera 6K G2 for $1495

According to the “Top Sellers” ranking in the B&H Mega Deal Zone, the #1 seller camera of this All-Star Game is the new condition Blackmagic Design Pocket Cinema Camera 6K G2 going for $1495.

This is a Super35 compact-ish interchangeable-lens camera, using the Canon EF mount, and as such, it is compatible with 200+ lenses. Certainly a smart choice considering there are millions and millions of EF lenses out there!

ALSO part of this All-Star game is another EF-mount video camera, the new condition Canon EOS C200B Cinema Body Only going for $1999. Note that is camera is non-returnable, so purchase only if 99.05% certain!

PS: these are the only “real” cameras I’ve found. And there’s good reason, because mainstream cameras, because of the whole pricing thing, rarely (if ever) participate in daily deals, so you won’t find them in the All-Star Game. The only cameras in the Camera sub-category of the sale are 13 variants of the Paper Shoot Paper Camera type things.

Amazon loves YOU so much they have bought another company so they can offer the One Medical service for $144 prepaid total for the first 12 months ($12 per month). They have explainers and FAQs there to explain what exactly they offer. The new Amazon CEO (I believe his name is Not Bezos) issued a Welcome Letter to launch the whole thing.

The above is open to all customers regardless of Prime status.

Previously launched but lesser known, for Prime members only, they have the RX Pass prescription service. For $5 per month you can get your prescriptions filled for select generic medications for common ailments, and you only pay $5 per month regardless of how many different participating prescriptions you need filled per month. About 50 common generic prescriptions are covered by this. Generic, thus the $5/month price.

Check the terms, conditions restrictions and all that before jumping in!

Pentax Official Store Trade-In Offer for DSLRs

The official Pentax (okay Ricoh) online store is running a trade-in promotion until 3/31/23. You trade-in a DSLR, and you get trade-in credit towards the purchase of either the K-1 Mark II or the K-3 Mark III, in new condition, at the official Pentax-Ricoh online US store.

Non-Pentax DSLRs get a $100 trade-in credit regardless, while Pentax DSLRs range from $100 to $250 depending on the model you are trading in.

Needless to say, before you send in your camera for a trade-in at these fixed prices, be sure to check its going prices at used marketplaces such as KEH Camera, because you may get more if you sell it on your own. Depending on condition, demand, etc, etc, etc…
