New Lens Instant Savings II: Pentax, Sigma, Rokinon, Samyang, Olympus

The previous Lens Instant Savings post got crowded, so now we have a Part II with some of the other lens manufacturers!

+ Pentax K-Lenses: 42 options including 24-70/2.8 SDM for $1100, 70-200/2.8 AW for $1600, 100/2.8 WR Macro for $500, etc

+ Sigma Lenses (various systems): 96 options including 17-50/2.8 DC OS HSM for $369, 105/2.8 HSM Macro for $569 and many more

+ Olympus M43 lenses: 15 options including 30/3.5 Macro for $199

+ Samyang Lenses (various systems): 49 options with a mix of photography-priority and video-priority lenses

+ Rokinon Lenses (various systems): 92 options with a mix of photography-priority and video-priority lenses including Sony E-system autofocus lenses
+ CORRECTED: an “option swith” is “options with” with the “s” at the wrong place 🙂

More on these later on, as, unfortunately, I am not IBM’s Watson and I cannot “digest” hundreds of lenses (over 500 of them in these two posts) on the fly. Not to mention that glass causes indigestion. Mayhaps I’ll start with the plastic lenses first 🙂

(SOLD OUT) Used Canon 7D II Body for $949 + S&H

As of a 11/16/17 AM recheck, this sold out at the $399 price. Supplies of used cameras are limited so they run out differently than new condition prices. Also prices are more volatile since they depend on more factors…

The new condition Canon 7D II body only goes for $1500 in new condition at authorized dealers, or for an extra $20 you can do the Pixma PRO 100 mail-in rebate bundle at B&H Photo. But if you want to pay triple figures and you are comfortable with used…

… Adorama is offering it in “Used – Very Good” condition for $949 plus shipping (around $12 or so) and it comes with a 90-day Adorama warranty and a 30-day return policy.

PS: if you don’t see anything in the link above, it means all the used options have sold out.

YMMV: $100 off the Nikon D850 IF You Apply and Get Approved for the Amazon Rewards VISA card

This is a YMMV promotion as Amazon’s AI bots have a mind of their own!!!

While checking the Nikon D850 stock status at Amazon I noticed a promotion that offers you a $100 discount IF you apply for an Amazon Rewards VISA credit card (by Chase) and Get Approved for it, and use the new card to pay the Nikon D850 [which remains in “Temporarily Out of Stock” status]. You don’t have to be a Prime member for this offer.

To see this offer however you may have to be logged on to your Amazon account, and NOT have an Amazon Rewards VISA card (by Chase). I only saw this offer on the non-Prime Amazon account I use to check prices/offers for non-Prime members. My Prime account (already has the Amazon Rewards VISA) was not offered this. Looking at the page without being logged on to an Amazon account also did not show the offer.

So this is a big YMMV.

If you are eligible for this offer, it looks like this [screenshot below]:

This has to be sold and shipped by Amazon itself, not 3rd-party sellers.

Non-Prime members get 3% credit cards rewards on Amazon purchases with the Amazon Rewards VISA, while Prime members get 5%. This is another one of the many Prime Benefits.

Nikon D850 body goes in TOOS status!

Breaking!!! The Nikon D850 body only is currently in “Temporarily out of stock” (TOOS) status at Amazon by Amazon itself. Limit three per customer… Previously the estimate was “2-4 months”, so that’s an improvement…

“TOOS” is an all-encompassing thing, so it’s hard to tell when you’ll get it…

All the options at the Amazon listing are in “TOOS”, which makes sense, since these are just DSLR + Lens sold by Amazon, they are not official Nikon kits, so basically once you have the DSLR, you have all the other combos as well [unless any of those lenses are unavailable].

B&H Photo remains in pre-order status, and Adorama in backorder status.

The eBay Search Results continue to be filled with sellers charging A LOT more. If you hate this practice, make a note of their names and never buy from them 🙂

The Stock Status Tracker has been updated, and the Nikon D850 listing moved to the top. For the reasons explained above, I’m not creating additional entries for the D850 + Lens combos since they all depend on the D850 body only stock status.

Pentax K-3 II Body with BG-5 Battery Grip for $853

I typically round prices for simplicity but in this case, the exact price is Jermaine Jackson (okay, germane) to the deal…

The new condition Pentax K-3 II body only goes for $846 in new condition at authorized dealers such as Adorama and Amazon itself.

But if you forgo a supersized Starbucks frappuccino, for $853 with free shipping you can get the K-3 II body only with the official Pentax BG-5 battery grip for $853 with free expedited shipping at B&H Photo. $7 more for the battery grip is pretty, pretty, pretty good!

Pentax KP with 18-55 and Extras for $1000

Somehow I strayed from the alphabetical price-checking and finished the S-cameras before the P-cameras. To the P-cameras we go! The Pentax KP body only goes for $1000 in new condition at authorized dealers. At the moment, there is a promotion that for the same price you also get the Pentax SMCP-DA 18mm-55mm f/3.5-5.6 AL Weather Resistant AF Lens for FREE, such as B&H Photo in either the silver or the black color scheme.

But wait, there’s more! At Adorama, for the same price, you also get a handful of free accessories, which if you don’t need, you can put them in various camera-related gifts during the upcoming holiday season 🙂 The additional freebies at Adorama are 24/7 Traffic Collection holster, 16GB Sandisk SD card, USB card reader, cleaning kit and the Corel software bundle (five titles as usual, AfterShot, PaintShop, VideoShop, etc).

This offer at Adorama with the freebies is available in both the silver KP DSLR kit and the black KP DSLR kit. The free lens is included, you have to expand the “Bundle Includes” section, it is the last one in the list. Here’s a screenshot:

Canon D-Rebel T5i with 18-55 and Pixma PRO 100 and SG-201 paper for $600 after $350 MIR (prepaid AMEX GC)

The Canon D-Rebel T5i remains one of a very few cameras with a cray-cray price-scheme. The body only goes for $650, while the kit with the 18-55mm lens goes for $600, in new condition, at authorized, reputable, MAP-blessed dealers. It’s not just now, it was also the case in the July APS-C Price Charts. So you are paying Canon a premium NOT to take their 18-55 lens? 🙂

Joking aside, the Canon D-Rebel T5 with 18-55 goes for $600 and if you are not afraid of mail-in rebates and prepaid AMEX gift cards, that’s the after rebate price you will pay if you buy the Adorama Printer Bundle of the D-Rebel T5i with 18-55 and Pixma PRO 100 and 50pk SG-201 13×19″ photo paper. You pay $950 at checkout, receive items, submit mail-in rebate, and a few weeks later you receive a $350 prepaid AMEX gift card, making it a $600 after MIR offer.

The Canon 7D II with the 18-135mm kit goes for $1850 at authorized dealers. If you are not afraid of mail-in rebates and prepaid AMEX gift cards, Adorama is offering the 7D II with 18-135mm and Pixma PRO 100 and Paper bundle for $1850 after a $350 mail-in rebate
