+ Adorama with FREE Fuji-Domke F-803 camera bag for same price of $1900

Party’s over! As of a 3/5/18 at 2:45pm ET recheck, the price has climbed up to $550…
If you are a fan of autofocusing technology and the Sony E system, Adorama is offering the new condition Rokinon 35mm f2.8 Autofocus lens for the Sony E system for $299 with free expedited shipping. Yes, Rokinon is embracing AF AF 🙂
It’s WPPI time after all, and thanks to the avalanche of Sony 35mm full frame mirrorless cameras, FE-shooters can now have their very own Zeiss full frame portrait lenses.
The Zeiss 85mm f1.8 Batis for the Sony E-system goes for $999 with free shipping and $40~ promotional rewards at Adorama and B&H Photo…
The 135mm f2.8 Zeiss Batis is on sale for $1499 with free shipping at B&H Photo and Adorama…
These sold out as the G9 is getting harder to find… An update of the Stock Status Tracker finds the Panasonic G9 available in “Used – Very Good” condition (minor cosmetic imperfections; damaged original packaging) offered for $1487~ with free shipping by Amazon Warehouse Deals itself. There’s only one used listing for this at the moment… The new condition price at authorized dealers is $1700…
The manufacturer refurbished Olympus E-M1 II body only is back in-stock at the official Olympus USA Outlet store going for $1500 with free shipping and a 90-day Olympus USA warranty… It goes for $1700 in new condition at authorized Olympus USA dealers like Adorama and Amazon itself…
Get your e-wallets ready if interested in this one! Pre-orders for the new Sony a7 III body only full frame Sony E-system camera will begin at 11am eastern today (Wednesday 2/28/18) at authorized Sony dealers for $2000 body only or $2200 with the 28-70 lens at B&H Photo and Adorama et al.
You can see how it stacks up price-wise to the rest of the cameras using the:
+ 35mm full frame price charts
+ Mirrorless Price Charts
+ these were created before the a7 III was announced (that’s why it’s not in there; but it will be in the next iteration of these)
Among the latest new Lenses announced is an autofocus version of the Tokina Firin 20mm f2 FE (Sony E system) lens, with the “AF” designator added to the model name. No price/availability details yet but B&H Photo has created a product page for it.
If autofocusing is not a high priority or you need a lens now, the first generation manual focus version of the lens is on sale for $699 with free shipping at Adorama and B&H Photo and Amazon…
This lightning deal expired…
Sony has plenty of 35mm full frame cameras [see 35mm full frame price charts] but that’s not stopping them from revealing a brand new model! The Sony a7 III body only is now an official product and pre-orders of it will begin on Wednesday 2/28/18 at 11am eastern at authorized Sony dealers.
The starting price is $2000 for the body only, and $2200 for the kit with the 28-70mm lens. A listing for the camera is available at B&H Photo and Adorama with the pre-ordering option activating on Wednesday at 11am eastern.
This has been added to the New Cameras of 2018 tracking page and has given mirrorless cameras a 7-1 lead over DSLRs in 2018.
Prime time among the B&H WPPI sales, the new condition Venus Optics Laowa 15mm f/2 FE Zero-D Lens for the Sony E-system is on sale for a limited time for $799 with free expedited shipping. A feast of primes for the Sony E-system!
Priced in-between the Canon M5 and the M6 [see Mirrorless Price Chart], the brand new Canon M50 was revealed yesterday with three different kits:
+ M50 body only for $779 in black or white
+ M50 with 15-45 for $899 in black
+ M50 with 15-45 and 55-200 for $1249 in black
These kits are now available for pre-ordering at Adorama and B&H Photo.
The new camera has been added to the New Cameras of 2018 where it has increased the Mirrorless lead over DSLRs in 2018 to 6-1.
Our wild ride now takes us to Fujilandia where B&H Photo is bundling both a $100 B&H Photo gift card and the Fuji-Domke co-brandeD F803 camera bag when you purchase the following two Fuji X lenses:
+ Fuji XF 50-140mm f/2.8 R LM OIS WR for $1599
+ Fuji XF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6 R LM OIS WR for $1899
The lenses go for the same prices without the gift card and camera bag, so you are getting two serious freebies. Four more Fuji lenses are on sale but don’t get a free gift card or free bag at B&H Photo; these too part of their WPPI 2018 specials…
With the release of the new Sony a7r III, the a7r II body only dropped in price, currently going for $2400 [see 35mm Full Frame Price Charts], but that’s not all, Adorama is bundling it with a FREE Flashpoint Zoom Li-on R2 TTL On-Camera Flash Speedlight for Sony, together going for the same authorized dealer price of $2400 with free expedited shipping. This too is part of their WPPI specials.
There is no theme, this is like rolling the blogging dice, things are coming in from all directions! 🙂 Now we have a pre-order of a brand new micro four thirds pro lens, almost a constant aperture but not quite! It is the brand new Panasonic 50-200mm f2.8-4 Power OIS (Lumix G, Leica, aspherical, Vario-Elmarit) available for pre-ordering for $1698 at Adorama and B&H Photo… It has been added to the New Lenses of 2018 tracking page…
Zoom-zoom on the Micro Four Thirds front! The new condition Panasonic Leica DG Vario-Elmar 100-400mm f/4-6.3 POWER OIS is getting a $100 B&H Photo gift card as a bonus while still selling at the authorized dealer price of $1800 with free expedited shipping at B&H. As usual, you can optionally triple the original warranty by filing with Panasonic. This too is part of the WPPI B&H sales…
Not faster than the speed of light, but getting close! The new condition Mitakon Zhongyi Speedmaster 35mm f/0.95 Mark II Lens is on sale as part of the WPPI festivities at B&H for $479 to $499 with free shipping depending on option. It is available in the Sony E, Fuji X, and Canon EF-M system. They also get 2% promotional rewards. The $479 price is for the black Sony E and silver Canon EF-M. The others go for $499.
More B&H WPPI action. The Olympus E-M1 II body continues to go for $1700 at authorized dealers, same as last week when we posted our Mirrorless price charts, BUT if you also want to get the official Olympus HLD-9 Power Battery Grip (goes for $249 on its own), you can get them together as a bundle for $1898 at B&H Photo.
More B&H WPPI action coupon code BHWPPI18 gets you additional savings on over 100 Sigma lenses. There are too many to list here individually, but the aforelinked page has them nicely organized.
And now we begin digesting the B&H WPPI 2018 specials, starting with select Fuji GF lenses for their medium format system getting a $150 B&H Photo gift card with purchase. Eligible lenses show this on their product page.
UPDATE: oops, I forgot to mention this, you also get a $200 B&H Photo gift card when you purchase the new condition Fujifilm GFX 50S with the 110mm f2 lens for $8299 with free expedited shipping.
An early bird update of the Stock Status Tracker has good news for fans of the Panasonic G9! The camera is in-stock and shipping in new condition from authorized dealer Samy’s Camera (one unit left per the page over there).
If you are a fan of used, there are two “Used – Demo” condition listings at Adorama for $1500 plus shipping. This is shown under the “Buy for as low as $1499.00 in Used” in small print on their website. I can’t find them by searching their USED department. IF/when they sell out, you will no longer see the used option. Annotated screenshot below:
The Olympus E-M10 III body only came out of the gate for $650 but it has its first serious discount, it is currently going for the rather unusual price of $584 with free shipping at B&H Photo and Adorama and Amazon itself.
If you prefer to get the Olympus E-M10 II in new condition from authorized dealers instead of wait/hunt for a refurbished deal at the Olympus USA Outlet store, the prices of the three E-M10 II options are a $50 staircase: the body only goes for $450, with the 14-42 for $500, and with the 114-42 EZ for $550 at Adorama and B&H Photo and Amazon itself. You can find the different kits and colors at the root listings of the aforelinked retailers.
I am getting a headache price-checking them alone, I can’t imagine the confusion of someone trying to decide which one of the current Panasonic G-series to get. All those 8s in the model names cause jumbled brain 🙂 One option is to go for the value bundle, and the offer continues since the last time we mentioned it:
The Panasonic GX85 with the 12-32mm and 45-150 f4-5.6 lenses AND a $100 Adorama gift certificate and $24~ promotional rewards can be yours for $598 in your choice of silver color scheme or the black color scheme with expedited shipping at Adorama…
We already mentioned the various freebies the $1800 Panasonic GH5 gets at B&H and Adorama, but there is another option at Focus Camera, for the same price of $1800 with free shipping you get the following freebies:
+ Rode Microphones VideoMicro On-Camera Mic w/ Rycote Lyre Shock Mount
+ two 128GB Extreme PRO SDXC memory cards
+ Wasabi Charger and two batteries
+ Ape Case Envoy messenger
More Panasonic action, good until Saturday night, a Panasonic initiated instant savings promotion has dropped the price of the G7 with 14-42mm to $600, and the price of the G7 with 14-140mm f3.5-5.6 POWER OIS to $900 at various authorized dealers, some of which are also included FREE accessories.
Panasonic G7 with 14-42 for $600
+ Adorama with FREE Corel software, 32GB Sandisk Ultra SD, Lowepro 140 bag, 46mm UV filter and more

+ Amazon itself no freebies but 5% statement credit if you pay with Prime VISA or Store Card
Panasonic G7 with 14-140 for $900
+ similar freebies at Adorama and B&H Photo and similar statement credit thing at Amazon
More things surfacing from our Mirrorless Price Checking. The new condition Panasonic G9 body only for $1700 is out of stock at the tracked authorized dealers, but if you are comfortable with used, B&H Photo has it USED, in “Condition 10” for $1530 with free expedited shipping. Used quantities are limited. If/when they run out of used, the used listing on their website will automatically redirect to the new condition.
For the big picture, check the latest iteration of the Stock Status Tracker now with the Pentax K-1 II and Fuji X-H1 added.
Another one of the New Cameras of 2018 is in-stock and shipping, in two of the three colors, it’s the Fuji X-A5 with the 15-45mm kit lens at its starting price of $599 with free shipping by Amazon itself and Adorama and B&H Photo…
Price goofiness with the Fuji X-T20. The body only goes for $900 and that’s also the price for the kit with the 16-50mm lens. But add $200 to that, and you also get the Fuji XC 50-230mm (76-350mm) F4.5-6.7 OIS II Lens (which goes for $400 on its own), along with the Fuji Metal Hand Grip. On top of that, Adorama has additional freebies included as well:
+ Lowepro 140 Format bag
+ 16GB Sandisk Extreme SD
+ 58mm Pro Optic Filter Kit and 58mm MC UV
+ Slinger soft lens case
+ new Corel Software Bundle (four “on topic” titles)
+ various other small accessories
On the other hand, as we just previously mentioned, you can get the X-T1 for $600 or X-T1 Graphite for $650 and their battery grip (actual battery grip, not hand grip) is only $100.
