If you are a fan of Prime lenses made by non-mainstream lens manufacturers, the membership website MassDrop is offering the new condition Kamlan 50mm F/1.1 APS-C Prime Lens for $130 with free shipping for USA shoppers. Shipping is extra for non-USA shoppers. The lens is available in Canon EF-M, Fuji X, M43rds and Sony E. You select the option at checkout. It comes with a 1-year warranty. All sales are final. These will ship in late January 2018. There is no express shipping option!
If you are not familiar with MassDrop, think of them as a group buy shopping club. You have to create an account (free to join, no annual/membership fees) to see the prices and details of a product. Orders do not ship right away like Amazon. It’s the opposite of Prime. Orders can take weeks to months before they ship because of the nature of group buys. Sales are final. Some items come with a manufacturer warranty, others don’t. Some are purchased directly from the manufacturer, others through third parties.
If you hate waiting, then mayhaps it’s not for you. You can instead go for near-instant gratification with the B&H FREE Next Day delivery of various products 🙂

Canon is running some more holiday promotions on various refurbished DSLRs and mirrorless cameras. Since these can sell out quickly, I’m posting them now instead of waiting until I can find time to go through them, because some of the good deals can (and do) sell out before I can find time to “digest” them:
+ manufacturer 60 refurbished DSLRs and M Mirrorless cameras
+ some unconventional/uncommon kits among these new condition cameras
As of a 6:37pm ET recheck this is back-ordered again… For the big picture, check the just-updated Stock Status Tracker…
Rejoice Sony a7r III body fans! As of the time of writing, the camera is in-stock and ready to ship at B&H Photo with free next day delivery for orders placed before 4pm eastern ~ while the camera remains in-stock ~ they can’t ship overnight something when it’s out of stock…
PS: your purchases through our various affiliate links is our primary source of funding. IF you find our stock status tracking useful, then please consider making your purchases through our links!
PS2: speaking of the Stock Status Tracker, the used Fuji X100F prices went up across the board. Mayhaps a side-effect of holiday season and end of year Section 179 buying?

Also participating in the Prime 20% Statement Credit offer are a total of 301 photography lenses. We already mentioned some of them, but I obviously can’t create individual posts for 301 lenses. The majority of them are Rokinon and Samyang models for various camera systems. You can find them all in the Digital Camera Lenses listing which you can filter by mount and manufacturer and other factors available in the left hand side over there.
Remember, these lenses must be sold and shipped by Amazon itself and you must pay for the items with either one of the Amazon Prime credit cards and you must be a Prime member. Check our Introductory post for an explanation of the offer.
This is a limited time offer. Expiration date is unknown.
The Fuji 14mm f2.8 R lens goes for $800 on its own (eg B&H Photo, while the Fuji X-E2S body only camera goes for $499 with a $50 house gift card at Adorama.
But what if you want both of them? If so, Adorama has you covered! The Fuji X-E2S with the XF 14mm f2.8 R lens is offered for $999 with free shipping. You also receive for FREE the Fujifilm MHG-XE Metal Hand Grip AND the Manfrotto NX Shoulder CSC Bag AND a $50 Adorama gift card.
So compared to the body only, you pay $500 more and for that you receive the 14mm f2.8R lens, and the Fuji metal hand grip and the Manfrotto bag.
If of all the Fuji cameras it is the X-E2 body only the one you want, at the moment, Adorama is bundling it with a $50 Adorama gift card for $499 with free expedited shipping!
What if you want the camera AND the 18-55mm zoom? You can get the X-E2S with 18-55 OIS for $799 with free expedited shipping AND a $50 Adorama gift card.
The offer is available in either the silver or black X-E2 color scheme.
