LAST CALL (ends Wedn PM): Get 5% bonus when you Sell Your Own Gear to KEH Camera
LAST CALL ALERT!
If you have camera gear you want to sell, and don’t want to deal with classified ads and eBay and such, one option is to sell your camera gear to KEH Camera. And good until 5/13/20 at 11:59pm ET, coupon code BONUS gets you a 5% bonus on the KEH quote.

Note that KEH has COVIDified their process when selling your gear, the evaluation could also happen over video chat. Getting a quote is not a commitment to sell to KEH.

New Fuji X-System Instant Savings (Cameras, Lenses, MF, RAWsumers)
If you are mesmerized by the Fuji X-system, you are in luck and your wallet is potentially in tears as there’s a new round of Fuji Instant Savings running at B&H Photo that includes both camera kits and lenses on their own. Fuji cameras may be easier to adapter-use 3rd-party lenses on, but for fans of native AF lenses the options are fewer than other mirrorless systems, which keeps the Fuji lens prices without a lot of competition. People are not even willing to let go of the kit lenses when selling the cameras 🙂
The sale includes the X-T30 with the 15-45 and freebies for $999, the 16-55 f2.8 lens with freebies for $900, and so on… Too many camera kits (X-T200, X-E3, X-A7 in the adorkable mint-green color scheme, etc) and lenses to list here individually…
