Nikon Black Friday offers (91 options)

Ninety one is the magic number of options in the B&H Nikon Black Friday with a mix of DSLR and mirrorless cameras, but surprise-surprise there’s a Coolpix P1000 superzoom (or is it a telescope?) bundle. There’s lenses of course for both DSLR and mirrorless, along with Nikon MB-D16 Multi Battery Grip for $137. Too many to list here individually…

Canon Black Friday offers (61 offers)

Make every shot a Powershot, but they are not participating in this installment of the Canon Black Friday offers at B&H Photo. They have 61 offers that are mostly DSLR and mirrorless cameras and associated lenses, flashes, and other accessories and binoculars. Too many to list here individually..

Fuji Black Friday offers (22 options)

Fuji is having a bit of a similar strategy to Pentax, an APS-C system and a medium format system and this is reflected in their Black Friday offerings at B&H as it is a mix of the X-System and their medium format mirrorless system. No Fuji X100V in the BF offers as there are supply issues. Hard to sell something you don’t have, it pains me to say.

Panasonic (73) and Olympus (41) Black Friday offers

A love affair that was born four thirds together, so in this post we group the OlyPan offers at the B&H Black Friday!

We start with the Panasonic offers, a total of 73 of them, a mix of mirrorless cameras and lenses (mostly M43rds, but some S-series too), and fixed lens cameras too (FZ/ZS zooms and LX rawsumers), along with the HC-X1 camcorder.

On the other side of the aisle, there are 41 Olympus offers featuring M43rds cameras and lenses.

Sigma and Tamron Lens Deals (75 options)

And now let’s group together the two major third-party lens manufacturers at the B&H Black Friday offers. Sigma offers 56 mostly lenses of DSLR and mirrorless variety for a variety of systems. Too many to list here individually. Also part of the festivities is the FP (really Sigma, couldn’t find a better name) camera for $1500 or $1600 with 45mm lens. They also have three mount adapters.

Then we take a look at the Tamron offers where we find 19 lenses, a mix of DSLR (Canon, Nikon) and mirrorless (mostly Sony E but also a Fuji X option)…

Sony Black Friday offers (68 options)

Sony time now, B&H Photo is running 68 Sony offers at their Black Friday featuring mirrorless cameras, lenses, memory cards, and system accessories too (flash, grip, battery, etc). There’s also one fixed lens camera, the ZV-1 going for $650…

Neewer 35mm f1.4 for Fuji X for $35 AC

I had opened way too many browser tabs for the previously-posted chinese manual budget lenses and when closing the tabs because the computer became unusable, I found a tab with this deal that is good for all, not just prime members.

It is a 30% off clip-on coupon, and it drops the price of the new condition Neewer 35mm f1.4 for Fuji X APS-C from $50 to $35. You can’t even buy Fuji-branded toilet paper for $35 😉

$50ish Manual APS-C Primes for Sony E and Nikon Z

And now a small excursion in the land of manual chinese prime lenses, For some reason [the notorious invisible hand of the market?], these particular mount options of these lenses are on sale for around $50 as follows:

+ Neewer 35mm f1.4 for $40.55 for Sony E APS-C, for PRIME MEMBERS ONLY

+ Voking 35mm 1.7 for $46 in Sony E APS-C

+ Neewer 35mm f1.7 for $49 in Sony APS-C, for PRIME MEMBERS ONLY

+ Meike 25mm f1.8 for $52.50 in Nikon Z APS-C

+ this is just a sampling

CAUTION: chinese budget manual prime lenses are a never-ending rabbit hole, so please do not blame me if you spend the next 12 hours looking into them 😉
