Welcome to the Camera Dome :)
Today is Zee Day for Nikon Zee fans, because the current Adorama daily deal, good until Sunday at 10am ET [or earlier if sold out] is the new condition Nikon Z version of the Rokinon 85mm f1.4 UMC lens, a manual focus lens of course, going for $149 with free US shipping…
It’s hard to argue for the price, unless you hate manual focus with the passion of a thousand suns 🙂
While we are waiting for the Apple WWDC 2020 live stream to begin [which I am live-tweeting for fun at @1001noisycamera], we have a camera as the Adorama daily deal which is good until Tuesday at 10am ET or earlier if sold out…
It is the new condition Olympus E-M10 Mark II with 14-42mm EZ going for $315 with free US shipping…
Monday is here and it’s a lens day at the B&H daily deals, good until 11:59pm ET [or earlier if sold out] as follows:

In the EU market, Amazon Germany is offering the new condition DJI Osmo Action Cam Digital Action Camera for $269 with up to three per customer at the sale price…
One more zoom-zoom lens option is coming soon for you Sony E-shooters! Tamron has just revealed their brand new 28-200mm f2.8-5.6 Di III RXD lens for the Sony E-system, and it is available for pre-ordering for $729 at B&H Photo et al…
PS: I have double-checked, this is indeed Tamron, not Tokina [because I often get them confused]
Prime time for fans of Sony E, Micro Four Thirds and Canon EF-M, the new condition Sigma 30mm f1.4 DC DN Contemporary lens is on sale for $289 with free US shipping and a free 52mm Tiffen UV filter at B&H Photo as part of their OPTIC deals…
The one day I forgot to check the Adorama daily deal and it’s a lens! It’s the new condition SLR Magic 50mm T1.8 MicroPrime Cine going for $429 with free US shipping in the Micro Four Thirds system. Offer ends on Saturday at 10am ET (or earlier if sold out)…
The current Adorama deal du jour is the new condition Sigma 30mm f1.4 DC DN lens for the Sony E-system going for $229 with free US shipping until Wednesday at 10am ET (or earlier if sold out)…
IF the new $399 Rokinon 85mm f1.4 II manual focus lenses do not tempt you and you want to optimize for a lower price, $269 is what it takes to get into the new condition Samyang 85mm f1.4 MF lens with the Nikon Focus Confirm…
The other Samyang and Rokinon 85mm f1.4 options [look for them in the aforelinked search results]:
+ M43rds for $248
+ Pentax K mount and Fuji X for $259
+ Nikon Z for $269
+ Sony E for $299
+ Canon RF for $319
+ the search results also include the Auto Focus (AF) lenses which obviously cost double or more
I know, I know, it is 2020, some of you will argue, there’s no way I’m dealing with Manual Focus Lenses in 2020. Next thing you’re gonna tell me to buy a Huawei P40 phone and spend 20 hours every single frakking week hunting for new hacks and loopholes to run Google Play on them 😉
And you would be right if your typical subject matter or your style of photography requires autofocus. But a lot of things don’t move at all, others move in predictable ways, and in these COVID-stressful times there’s a certain level of relaxation and grounding when you use manual focus. And in some ways, it forces you to pay closer attention to the scene you are photographing…
Rokinon fans, unite and take over! Rokinon lenses are now old enough that we have “II” models, and two new “II” primes are now available for pre-ordering at B&H Photo as follows:
+ 85mm f1.4 II for $399 in Sony E, Canon EF, Nikon F, Fuji X, Canon EF-M, M43
+ 14mm f2.8 II for $499 in Sony E, Canon EF, Nikon F, Fuji X, Canon EF-M, M43
These are manual focus lenses. Try finding a 85/1.4 for this price for Canon EF or Nikon F or Sony of any kind…
Trigger Warning for Olympus Fans for this new episode of “Cheaters!” 🙂
The Panasonic S1 body only full frame mirrorless camera is now down to $1998 with free US shipping at B&H Photo and you also get a Filmmaker V-Log Upgrade software key for FREE…
All along the Micro Four Thirds Tower, we have a new offer! B&H Photo is offering this Panasonic G7 bundle for $598 with free US shipping. This includes the G7 camera with the 14-42 and 45-150mm lenses along with the option to triple the original 1-year warranty by filing paperwork with Panasonic [the Bureaucrats Rule the World!]
But that’s not all, you also get some free accessories included automatically in the bundle from B&H. So in total, you get:
If you are a fan of all things Fuji, another round of Fuji Instant Savings is running at Adorama, with 201 options available that are part of the X-system, their Medium Format system, and there are some fixed lens cameras too… In addition to the instant savings discount, check also the USED prices if you are a fan of used camera gear. Adorama offers a 90-day warranty of their own for used items (those in usable condition; for example, the “spare parts only” obviously do not get a 90-day warranty)…
And if you are jumping on the COVID-19 Gadgets Hype Train, Adorama is offering their new condition Green Extreme TH-100 Digital Non-contact Infrared Forehead Thermometer for $49 with free US shipping. You can also use it with your Star Trek cosplays! It’s a 2-in-1 🙂
To coincide with what would have been NAB 2020, for those video-curious and Nikon-Z-curious, Nikon has announced a new Nikon Z50 Creator’s Kit and this is available for pre-ordering at B&H Photo for $1147. This kit includes:
+ Nikon Z50 camera
+ Nikon Z 16-50mm f3.5-6.3 DX VR
+ Rode VideoMicro shotgun microphone
+ Joby GorillaPod 3K flex
+ SmallRig mounting plate

NOTE: for those not following the Nikon Z system closely, this is an APS-C / DX camera bundled with an APS-C / DX lens…
If you are mesmerized by the Fuji X-system, you are in luck and your wallet is potentially in tears as there’s a new round of Fuji Instant Savings running at B&H Photo that includes both camera kits and lenses on their own. Fuji cameras may be easier to adapter-use 3rd-party lenses on, but for fans of native AF lenses the options are fewer than other mirrorless systems, which keeps the Fuji lens prices without a lot of competition. People are not even willing to let go of the kit lenses when selling the cameras 🙂
The sale includes the X-T30 with the 15-45 and freebies for $999, the 16-55 f2.8 lens with freebies for $900, and so on… Too many camera kits (X-T200, X-E3, X-A7 in the adorkable mint-green color scheme, etc) and lenses to list here individually…
In addition to those, the sale also includes some of the Fuji medium format gear along with their fixed-lens compact cameras (aka RAWsumers)… There’s also a couple of stray Finepix P&S cameras (of the water/elementproof kind)…
If you are a fan of the Sony RX-series of cameras, we have good news for you, there are some RX-series Instant Savings promotions that include the beastly speed-demon beast of the RX 10 Mark IV for $1598 with a free 64GB Sony SF-E UHS-II SDXC card and a RJ camera bag… Also participating in the sale are selections from the RX1* full-framer series and a gazillion different RX100 series models along with a couple of stray superzoom Cybershots…
But that’s not all. For fans of the E-system, they have over 80 instant savings options, too many to list here individually but you can easily peruse them and filter them over there…
Sony fans, you have options. 152 options. These are part of the Sony Instant Savings for May 2020 that are currently up and running at B&H Photo. The sale includes various Sony FE and APS-C camera kits and combos. Obviously too many to list here individually…
If you are comfortable buying used Leica camera gear, and you are a fan of “Paul Smith”, B&H Photo has in “USED CONDITION 9” the Paul Smith edition of the Leica CL with the 18mm f2.8 lens for $3200 while the new condition option goes for $4000… This is of course part of their new L mirrorless system, the camera being of the APS-C type, as hinted by the “C” in “CL”…
Panasonic fans, unite and take over! The May 2020 instant saving Panasonic promotions are up and running at B&H Photo with a total of 77 options, various kits and combos of their M43rds cameras, but also some of their S1 full frame system… Too many options to list here individually, check the aforelinked page for all the details…

If they made Lensbabies in the blue color scheme, they could have mayhaps licensed the “Blue Velvet” song? Well, they didn’t ask me for my marketing advice, so let’s move on 🙂
IF you are a fan of the Lensbaby way of lens-ing, the Lensbaby Velvet 28mm f2.5 is now in-stock in multiple color systems for $550 with free US shipping at B&H Photo, in the Canon EF, Nikon F, Nikon Z, Sony E, and Fuji X systems. Still not in-stock are the Canon R and M43rds…
