Panasonic Leica 42.5mm f1.2 OIS with lots of extras for $1398
The Panasonic Leica 42.5mm f1.2 OIS micro four thirds lens is on sale for $1398 with a boatload of free lens-y accessories at Adorama: 67mm filter kit, Corel software bundle, FocusShifter DSLR Follow Focus & Rack Focus, lens wrap, lens shade, and cleaning kit.
If you don’t need the extra accessories, you can instead get 4% promotional rewards ($56~ to be used in future purchases) at B&H Photo or if you pay with a Prime VISA, you can get 5% statement credit by Amazon itself.
1-Year Dropbox Plus Subscription + $25 Promo eGift Card for $60
Dell Small Business is off to the Black Friday races with a cloud-busting deal. They are offering 1-Year Annual Dropbox PLUS subscription for $60 and with that you also receive a $25 promotional Dell e-Gift Card within 20 days after purchasing.
Dropbox Plus gets you 1TB of storage for one year for one user. They support all the major platforms including Linux. I do not know if this offer can be appended to an existing Dropbox paid subscription.
The $25 promo e-gift card can only be spent at Dell, and usually within 90 days upon receipt. That’s why it’s a promotional e-gift card instead of a regular gift card.
PS: speaking of clouds, Stacksocial offers the 2TB Lifetime Zoolz Cloud Storage for $40 instead of its usual price of $50. The 2TB are broken into 1TB of Instant Storage and 1TB of Cold Storage. It includes access to two machines for backups. This is for new customers only and cannot be “stacked” for more space. This is a lifetime service, not an annual subscription!
NewEgg Pre Black Friday Sale with 1000+ items

UPDATE 11/16/17 at 9am ET I’m not sure what happened to these. They are nowhere to be found. I didn’t save the individually links of the laptops for forensic analysis… Unfortunately these type of alerts are only as good as the Gold Box Lightning Deals Upcoming schedule is accurate…

Panasonic G9 returns to Amazon
A few days ago the option to pre-order the Panasonic G9 at Amazon disappeared, but as of the time of writing, the option to pre-order this for $1700 has returned at Amazon. I have no clue why it disappeared. AI Bots Gone Wild? 🙂
You can see how it stacks up price-wise with other mirrorless camera in last week’s Mirrorless Price Chart. Its announcement came just as I was preparing the charts. If I was a day early, it wouldn’t have made it. So sometimes being late pays off 🙂
Speaking of Panasonic, a number of their M43rds cameras, lenses and fixed lens cameras are on sale. You can find them all under the Panasonic category, or under the Mirrorless section of the Black Friday 2017 Situation Room. It looks like mayhaps they are trying to steal a march on the other camera manufacturers by rolling out their sales earlier.

YMMV: 8% back in eBay Bucks [no minimum]
It’s the Union of the Two Towers ~ in a good way ~ if you are an eBay shopper.
As previously mentioned, running until next Monday morning is a big 20% off coupon promotion for all.
And here comes the second, stackable offer: IF you are participating in the eBay Rewards program, you may have also been invited to participate in another Bonus Bucks promotion, you get 8% eBay Bucks without a minimum purchase amount until Thursday 11/16/17 at 11:59pm pacific time.
First you have to manually activate the offer from the eBay email or your eBay messages (if invited/selected to participate). Some exclusions apply as usual and the maximum rewards you can earn is $100 per transaction, and $500 during the promotional period.
A good place to look for ideas are the eBay Deals along with the Trending Deals (shows only 100 trending deals, less overwhelming to look at than their main deals page). There’s also a dedicated search box there that searches only the Deals, not everything else on eBay.
Another way to look for ideas is our eBay Category posts here…
More Black Friday Ads Digested
Another buffet of BF ads has been digested in our Black Friday Ads Digest of 2017 with another handful of stores including Overstock, Microsoft and more. The new additions have been integrated to the various categories as usual. The biggest addition with this group was a mystery GoPRO HERO5 bundle at Overstock with lots of accessories but no price given 🙁
Here’s an example of the breakdown by category. As you can see, by grouping them together, the Nikon D3400 two lens kit that is offered at many places only appears once in the list, making it easier to skim and scan:
As usual, most of these will be price-matched by the internet sellers by (or often before) the actual Black Friday.
Still available: Pentax K-1 Silver Limited Edition
The Pentax K-1 Silver Limited Edition (body only with official battery grip) is out of stock and cannot be ordered at Amazon and B&H Photo, but hope is not lost!
Adorama comes to the rescue. As of the time of writing it remains in-stock and shipping for $2200 with free expedited shipping over there. Optional financing offers are available with the new Adorama Credit Card.
Yes, Adorama has an official credit card, offered by Comenity Capital Bank per the listing over there.
40% off SmugMug subscriptions
Good until 11/27/17, you can get 40% off on SmugMug subscriptions. There is no coupon code to enter, the promotion is factored in at their website.
In-Stock Alert: Firefox 57 (Windows) blazing fast browser
We have an in-stock alert of a different kind! Version 57 of Firefox for Windows is now out, and it’s a blazer. This time for real! This was a long-planned version to de-slugfest-ify Firefox and it’s working so far. Very noticeable difference in speed! Only issue is that the “New Tab” page is pre-populated with crap, but you can quickly remove them by clicking on the Settings Wheel (from the New Tab page) and unclicking the five things that are defaulted on).
More details on the new release via Techmeme including a profile of the new developments at C|Net.
