Back to the Bargain BIN deep cuts, the Bower Super-Wide 14mm T3.1 Digital Cine Lens for Sony E (NEX), model SLY14VDSE, is available in “USED – Like New” condition, with a more detailed description and a gallery of pictures of the used item, going for $147 with free shipping by Amazon Warehouse Deals itself. This is the only option that’s available at this price!
PS: the one 1-star review there is from someone who received the wrong model.
Among the latest items featured in the Amazon Warehouse Deals Bargain Bin Sale, you can get in “USED – Like New” condition, in damaged original packaging, the Fotodiox Pro Lens Mount Adapter for Bronica ETR Mount SLR Lenses to Fujifilm X-Series camera bodies for the very specific price of $20.68 with free shipping for Prime members or with a $25+ order.

Lensbabies are multiplying like bunnies these days. The new Lensbaby Sweet 80 Optic is available for pre-ordering for $200. This if you already have a compatible Lensbaby “Lens Body”.
If not, fear not, they also have bundles of the Sweet 80 with the Composer Pro II, together available for pre-order for $379 at B&H Photo in your choice of Nikon, Pentax K, Sony A, or Canon in SLR systems, and in your choice of Fuji X, M43rds, Sony E or Samsung NX in mirrorless systems.
Sony’s Trade-IN promotion towards a Sony a9 is running September 30, 2017, that’s less than two weeks away. You can see all eligible cameras you can trade-in (your own used cameras) towards the a9, and learn more at the promotion at the B&H Photo Sony Trade-IN page…
In a new “blessed by Fuji” bundle, you can now get the new condition Fuji X-T20 with the 16-50mm f/3.5-5.6 OIS II and 50-230mm f4.5-6.7 OIS II lenses and the Fuji Metal Hand Grip, all together for $1200 at authorized dealers.
But that’s not all! If you like the silver Fuji X-T20 bundle, Adorama is offering additional free accessories for the same price of $1200: Lowepro 140 bag, 16GB Sandisk SD card, 58mm Pro-Optic Filters kit, lens cap tether, memory card wallet, another 58mm MC UV filter, a Slinger soft lens case, and the Corel software bundle.
Likewise, Adorama offers the black X-T20 bundle with the same accessories and the same price of $1200.
Even if you don’t need the extra accessories, you can save them when you create photography gift bundles for your friends and family during the holidays or birthdays and graduations and such. Or you can donate them to a local school or art center.
If you are a fan of B&H, as of the time of writing, the black X-T20 bundle is in-stock and shipping at B&H Photo, but no additional freebies.
The party is sadly over for the Fuji promotion that got you a FREE 35mm f2R lens with the purchase of select Fuji X-T1 kits at authorized dealers. Not only that, but the price of the various camera kits went up as well…
I will be monitoring the situation and post new alerts if or when the promotion returns. I saved the entries from the Stock Tracker, so I can quickly re-add/re-use them if/when necessary…
As Star Trek taught us, all good things come to an end, and so did this limited time old-fashion sale, as of a 9/21/17 AM recheck…
If you are looking for a budget “normal” Micro Four Thirds lens, the Panasonic 25mm f1.7 lens continues to go for $148 with free shipping in new condition at authorized dealers, but that’s not all. Some of them are offering extras!
This sale continues as of 9/17/17 recheck: you can instead get 4% promotional rewards (around $6~ towards future purchases) at B&H Photo.
As of a 9/17/17 recheck, the price returned to $250… At Adorama you get the Corel Software Bundle (five software titles), and a 3-piece filter kit with case, a lens wrapper, tether, and cleaning kit.

This is among the latest B&H Featured Sales…
Party’s over 🙁 As of a 9/17/17 recheck, the free lens promotion expired, AND the price of the X-T1 kits went up…
As of a 9/14/17 AM recheck, this too got sold out and its page became a 404. I do not know if they’ll be able to “find” additional inventory before the coupon expires today…
It’s a day of things selling-out today, the 7-14mm is sold out as of a 8:22pm ET recheck, thanks to the Olympus Outlet store promotion with coupon code SEPTOUTLET running until Thursday night…

Coupon expires Thursday 11:59pm ET or earlier if sold out.
In new condition at authorized dealers, the lens goes for $1150 with 4% promotional rewards (around $46 in future purchases) at B&H Photo and Adorama.
In this case, video is not killing the radio or the M43rds star. Instead, it is giving it a discount 🙂
The new condition Tokina Cinema 11-16mm T3.0 lens, only in the Micro Four Thirds option, is on sale, for a limited time, for $799 with free expedited shipping at B&H Photo where it also gets 4% promotional rewards (around $32 to spend in the future at B&H).

This 2-day coupon expired, but Olympus launches these every few weeks…
Good until Thursday 11:59pm ET, coupon code SEPTOUTLET gets you 20% off eligible refurbished items at the Olympus Outlet store…
Most items are 20% off but some items have a maximum discount of $100 per item with the coupon.
Another one goes down! As of late 9/14/17 PM, the 12-40mm lens sold out too, and cannot be purchased at the time. Its product page has been yanked, returning a 404 error…
The Canon M5 body only mirrorless camera goes for $929 at authorized dealers, some of which are offering free accessories with it, such as Adorama.
Or it can participate in the Pixma AMEX MIR promotions, such as B&H Photo where you can get the M5 body only along with the Pixma PRO 100 printer and its trusty SG-201 sidekick (50pk 13×19 inch photo paper) for $959 after a $350 mail-in rebate (prepaid AMEX gift card).
Or if you just want the Canon M5 body only kit, without freebies or printers, you can get it in manufacturer refurbished condition for $750 with free shipping and a 1-year warranty from the official Canon USA store.
Coming along with the Fuji X-E3 camera and its accessories, Fuji also revealed a new medium format prime lens, but also a new prime lens for their X-System!
The new Fuji 80mm f2.8 R LM OIS WR MACRO has a starting price of $1200 and it is available for pre-ordering at B&H Photo and Adorama.
This too has been added to the New Lenses of 2017 tracking page.
Mirrorless cameras just scored a goal, increasing their lead to 10-8! Fuji put in a new middlefielder that scored this goal [okay, time to abandon soccer/football analogies]…
Fuji has a new 24mp APS-C mirrorless camera in their X-System, it is part of the X-E series, it is the brand new X-E3, available in silver or black [but still not Raiders edition].
It will be available in three official kits as follows:
Pre-orders at the above prices are now accepted at B&H Photo and Adorama and Amazon itself where the release estimate is September 28 (2017).
Keep in mind though, estimates are only estimates until or unless the cameras start shipping.
This reinforces the three Fuji X-System lines of X-T, X-E, and X-A.
It also juxtapositions this new camera with the existing Fuji X-T1 with FREE 35mm f2 promotion, at the moment giving the X-T1 an advantage in terms of both a lower price and a free lens included with it. [check the Stock Status Tracker for all the X-T1 options].
The new condition Olympus 17mm f1.8 is down to $349 with free shipping in the black or silver color schemes at Adorama and Amazon itself and B&H Photo.
They get 4% promotional rewards at B&H and Adorama, and the usual 5% for Amazon Prime if paying with a Prime-branded credit card.
Thanks to one of our readers for the email alert on this lens!
And now we continue refreshing the Stock Status Tracker with some Fuji X-T2 body only action!
If you are comfortable with imported cameras with a warranty provided by the seller (not Fuji USA), you can get the new condition Fuji X-T2 in imported grey-market condition for $1450 by Deals All Year on eBay (99.8%, New Jersey).
On the other hand, if you prefer used cameras, you can get it in “Used – Excellent” condition for $1349 plus shipping (starts at $14, varies by zipcode) from Adorama which offers a 90-day warranty of their own and a 30-day return policy.
Meanwhile Cardinal Photo is offering it in “Used – Like New” condition for $1399 through Amazon Warehouse Deals. Not Prime eligible. The description says this is the X-T2 with 18-55 kit, with the 18-55 removed (and presumably sold separately).
Some sellers do this, by selling them separately, they can get a better price than selling the kit as is. This is because of the built-in discount of the official “with lens” kits. As long as sellers are upfront about it and are clear in the descriptions, giving people more options and more alternatives is good.
On the other hand, if you prefer a “take pictures with” kit, you can get the Olympus E-M5 (first generation) with the 12-50mm EZ lens in manufacturer refurbished condition for $450 with free shipping at the Get Olympus USA store with a 90-day Olympus USA warranty.
Contract that to getting the body only used starting at around $300 with a 180-day warranty through KEH ~ check our Used options post for more details.
This too surfaced while price-checking the Get Olympus Refurbished Refill (I think that’s a new official term now).
PS: I can’t post all 20+ new additions to the Get Olympus refurbished store, but if any others stand out in your opinion and would be of interest to other photographers, please let me know in the comments here or using the online contact form.
While price-checking the Get Olympus Refurbished Refill (I think that’s a new official term now), this alternative offer to the Get Olympus store surfaced…
… you can get the Olympus E-M5 body only in “Used – Excellent” condition starting at $289 plus shipping (under $10 for most zipcodes) at KEH Camera with a 180-day non-transferable warranty…
… you can get the Olympus E-M5 body only in “Used – Excellent Plus” condition for $329 plus shipping (starts at around $8 and varies by zipcode) at Adorama USED. Used products at Adorama come with a 90-day warranty covered by Adorama, and a 30-day return policy.
So when comparing used prices to other places, eg Amazon Warehouse Deals (AWD), keep in mind that most sellers at AWD offer zero warranty!
The refurbished options at the Olympus USA store have been reloaded!
Of prime time silver lens interest, the manufacturer refurbished Olympus 25mm f1.8 M.Zuiko goes for $230 with free shipping and a 90-day Olympus USA warranty. The black version goes for $300.
The refurbished options at the Olympus USA store have been reloaded! The item count has jumped from 18 to 39!
I will be going through them and posting individual posts for good deals, but since some of them sell-out quickly, I’m posting this alert, so you can jump in right away!
*** HOT DEAL ALERT ***
*** MORE COMING UP ***
PS: the Stock Status Tracker update is being postponed until I finish going through the reload of the Get Olympus store!
If, as an experienced photographer, you are looking for a “Take Pictures With” jump into the Fuji X-System, the Fuji X-T1 body only bundled with the FREE 35mm f2R WR Fuji lens now has picked up FREE accessories for the same price of $800 with free shipping at B&H Photo: a Watson extra battery, a 16GB Sandisk Ultra SDHC, and a Ruggard DSLR holster bag.
If you don’t need the extra accessories, for the same price, you can get it from B&H Photo with 4% promotional rewards. That’s about $32 to be spent in future purchases at B&H.
The X-T1 with 18-55 and 35/2 bundle, and the X-T1 Graphite with 35/2 remain in-stock at multiple retailers for $1200, but the body only bundle is only in-stock at B&H as of the time of writing.
For the big picture, check the Stock Status Tracker or the posts here for the free lens promotion.
