KEH Camera: 20% off Overstock sale with coupon

And now something for those of you not interested in the Prime Dayz! This offer is open to all, not just Prime members 😉

KEH Camera is having a 20% off Overstock Sale on select participating products using coupon code SV20 or SV20A entered over there until 10/13/23 at 11:59pm ET. You can filter the various items by various options on the left hand side of their website.

Used Panasonic S5 two lens kit (20-60, 85) for $1388+

This offer is open to all! Let me explain…

As part of the Amazon Prime Deals, Amazon has a promotion on the Panasonic S5 two-lens kit with the 20-60mm and 85mm lenses. That price is nothing to write home about all things considered BUT if you don’t mind buying used, the used prices for this kit start at $1388 in “Used – Good” and $1449 in “Used – Very Good” and $1494 in “Used – Like New”. There’s also a “Used – Acceptable” for $1192 but no description of its condition. These are sold by Amazon Warehouse Deals itself.

Considering the number of options in the listing, there’s always the possibility of a mix-up for the USED items. But when you add the two-lens kit to the shopping cart, it shows it’s the two lens kit. But you never know, so take screenshots and such to be on the safe side 🙂

Needless to say there are plenty of L-mount options these days, and buying THREE used items (camera and two lenses) together increases the risk of potential problems in at least one of them, so be sure to factor all that in.

Fujifilm Instax Square SQ6 for $90 [PD]

And now to another Gold box darling, the instant cameras, headlined by the four color options of the Fujifilm Instax Square SQ6 going for $90 for Prime members as part of the Amazon Prime Dayz.

Also part of the sale is the Fujifilm Instax Mini Instant Film Value Pack (120 photos) offered for $67, just over 55c per photo,

On the other hand, if you are part of the Polaroid GO ecosystem, they offer the Polaroid Go Instant Mini Camera for $65~ in the black color scheme. Check “film” compatibility if you are not familiar with the various systems.

AND now a couple of tech items, unrelated to instant films, but I don’t want to create extra posts:

+ Joby USB-C to USB-A 3.0 adapter for $3.20

+ various Google Pixel offers

+ Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen) for $189 in either Lightning or USB-C

Rokinon Xeen Meister T1.3 Primes Sale [EF/PL/E] [PD]

Another staple of Prime Dayz is the Rokinon Xeen T1.3 Primes sale featuring the Meister T1.3 Prime lenses at 35mm, 50mm, and 85mm, along with a trio of non-Meister primes. System options vary but the sale includes PL-mount, Canon EF, and Sony E.

NEEWER Ring Light 18-inch Kit for $72 [PD]

A darling of the good old Amazon Gold Box lightning deals cannot miss Prime Dayz, it’s the NEEWER Ring Light 18-inch Kit for $72. It includes various things, include a bag [of course it does!] check the listing for details.

BUT that’s not all from Neewer, being a Lightning Deals darling it is also featured in two-pages of Home Studio Lighting offers including LED lighting, on-camera flashes, softboxes, chargers, stabilizer-y things, ring lights, and more – too many to list here individually.

NOTE: to keep the blog-post titles shorter, I’m using the “[PD]” abbreviation to denote Prime Dayz Dealz!
