Olympus Outlet Store Watch: Empty Again BUT New Condition Sales Continue!

The Olympus Outlet store (the refurbished section) has achieved Emptiness once again! “There are no products matching the selection” says an error message sandwiches between the website’s header and footer.

However, the good news is that their Black-Cyber Friday-Monday sales continue on their new condition products, including the two $100 lenses, the expected 40-150mm and perhaps the surprise $100 lens, the 30mm f3.5 MACRO.

Refurbished Olympus FL-600R for $160 after coupon

The Olympus FL-600R flash was not discounted in this round of instant savings, it remains at $299 in new condition at B&H Photo and Adorama, so the 20% off coupon code CYBERSAVINGS is a welcome discount as it drops it from $200 to $160 at the Olympus Outlet store.

Olympus Barrel Style Lens Cases for $8 to $13

If you only need a couple of lens cases, you can put your Prime membership to work! The trio of Olympus Barrel Style Lens Cases is on sale for $8 for the Ultra Compact, $10 for the the Compact, and $13 for the Full Size. Limit up to five per size per customer.

These are sold and shipped by Amazon itself and NOT Add-On items, so as a Prime member, you can buy one and still get free 2-day shipping. Or select slow shipping (no rush credit) and get the $1 digital credit or the $10 Amazon Restaurants credit. It’s harder to damage a lens case in longer transit. As a Post Office worker used to say, “you can’t damage a book”.

For fit, check descriptions, reviews, answered questions, dimensions, etc. The names of Compact and Full Size are relative. No matter how large the lens case, it will have a hard time fitting this 🙂

Olympus Outlet Store refilled with 8 items

As of the time of writing, eight items now appear at the Olympus Outlet Store, up from zero before. From what I recall, they were there before it got emptied, the E-M1 II, some lenses, and the FL-600R for $200, and a couple of converter/lens-cap thingies.

So the theory that they emptied the Outlet store for Black Friday and would refill it for Cyber Monday is on the right track. Just like Voq = Tyler 😉

After all, some of their deals are better than refurbished, for example, the Olympus 30mm f3.5 Macro [M43] for $99 at Adorama and at the Olympus USA store and at B&H Photo

November 26, 2017 Filed Under: mirrorless deals, olympus Tagged With: , , ,

Mystery continues: Olympus Outlet Store still Empty

I don’t know if Olympus is “saving” the refurbished cameras and lenses for Cyber Monday, or if they want to “direct” shoppers towards their new condition products, or maybe they actually run out? Their Olympus Outlet store sat out the Black Friday festivities, it remained empty, and it still is empty as of the time of writing. I will be monitoring the situation and post updates as we get closer to Cyber Monday.

In-Stock Now: Olympus 45mm f1.2 PRO [m43]

I am posting as fast I can type, although how fast I can think is the limiting factor here 🙂 Prime your E-system cameras! The new condition Olympus 45mm f1.2 ED PRO lens is in-stock and shipping at B&H Photo at its starting price of $1199 with free expedited shipping.

The lens is not on the list of the Olympus Black Friday lenses but since these start on Thursday, you may want to add it to your shopping cart and wait until the Black Friday Olympus deals go live in case it gets discounted. It is unusual for a “just released” professional tier product to get discounted, but Thursday is just 11 hours away in the Eastern Time Zone 🙂
