All come with a 90 day Nikon USA refurbished warranty – and by that I mean “warranty for refurbished items”, not that the warranty itself is refurbished 🙂

UPDATE: as of 11:21pm ET recheck, eBay is back to normal… as of 10pm ET, it looks like eBay individual product listing pages are taking a while to load.

Opteka 500mm f8 HD Mirror Lens + 2X Telephoto Converter + T-mount adapter for Canon for $90

The 47th Street Photo eBay store (99.2%) is offering the new condition Opteka 500mm f8 HD mirror lens. Included with that is an Opteka High Definition 2X Telephoto Converter (which is why the eBay listing says 500-1000mm f8), along with an Opteka T-Mount Adapter for Canon. The 500mm lens includes a soft pouch and three rear-mounted filters (two NDs and Skylight).

All that for $90 with free shipping. The 500mm lens has a 10 year warranty per the eBay listing. Over 690 units got sold so far from this eBay listing. The seller has a 60-day return policy but RMA must be issued within 45-days after purchase-date. Shipping charges not included/refunded.

Rokinon 14mm f2.8 for $280 [C/S/E/P/m43]

Rokinon needs a theme song to help them stand out in the crowded world of lenses. May I suggest licensing the Scorpions, “Here I am, Rockinon You…”.

With that totally unnecessary bad pun out of the way, we have a sale on the Rokinon 14mm f2.8 lens. You can get it for $280 with free shipping in the Canon EF, Sony SLR A-mount and MirrorNyet E-mount, Pentax K-mount, and Micro Four Thirds, or $290 with free shipping in the Fuji X mount. Check the various “mount tabs” at B&H Photo (SLR lenses) and B&H Photo (mirrorless lenses) and Amazon by Amazon itself to find the ones of interest.

Next up in the price ladder, at $300 you can get either the Samsung NX or the Nikon with AE chip.

NOTE: at Amazon, the Sony E-mount is currently restricted to Prime members only.

Zeiss 50mm f1.4 (ZE) with Zeiss 58mm UV filter and 4% rewards for $625

If this lens wants to license a theme song, how about Vanilla Ice with “Zeiss Zeiss Baby!”. Now that you have that song stuck in your heads for the next 24 hours (you are welcome), let’s get back on topic. The Zeiss 50mm f1.4 Planar T* Manual Focus for the Canon EF mount (ZE) is on sale for $625 with free expedited shipping and 4% promotional rewards (about $25) AND a free 58mm Carl Zeiss T* UV Filter included automatically by B&H Photo while this promotion is running… This is among the 2015 Photo Plus Expo Specials
