Wednesday Lightning Deals: Yi, Aukey, Usual Camera/Photo accessories
There are over 40 items listed in the Camera & Photo lightning deals (old format) or Full Page format (faster to navigate on Desktop) of the Amazon Gold Box. Due to time constraints I cannot create a detailed listing of them all. The usual assortment of accessories are running throughout the day.
Pre-order three new Canon Tilt Shift Macro Prime Lenses for $2199 each
If you are a Canon EF shooter and love tilt-shift lenses, it’s your lucky day! Canon has revealed three new tilt-shift TS-E EF lenses, each one priced at $2199. So for the price of a used old Honda Civic, you can get all three 🙂 They are available for pre-ordering as follows:
+ Canon TS-E 50mm f2.8L Macro Tilt-Shift Lens at B&H Photo and Amazon itself and Adorama
+ Canon TS-E 90mm f2.8L Macro Tilt-Shift at B&H Photo and Amazon itself and Adorama
+ Canon TS-E 135mm f4L Macro Tilt-Shift at B&H Photo and Amazon itself and Adorama
PS: car prices are estimates and do not represent Blue Book values 😉
PS2: these too have been added to the New Lenses of 2017
Pre-order Canon EF 85mm f1.4L IS USM Lens
A new lens from Canon to brighten your photography and darken your wallet! The new Canon EF 85mm f1.4L IS USM Lens is available for pre-ordering for $1599 at B&H Photo and Amazon itself and Adorama.
The lens has been added to the New Lenses of 2017 tracking page.
Imported Sony a6300 w/16-50mm for $830
The Sony a6300 with 16-50mm goes for $1000 in new condition at authorized Sony USA dealers who are bundling it with various free accessories such as Adorama and B&H Photo.
But if you are comfortable with new condition imported grey-market cameras with a 1-year seller warranty (instead of a Sony USA warranty), then off to the eBay Deals we go, where you can get the camera as mentioned in this paragraph for $830 with free shipping by 6ave’s eBay store (New Jersey, 98.9%).
For a refresher on mirrorless prices, check the July 2017 edition of the Mirrorless Price Charts.
PS: if you are eligible for this offer, don’t forget to first activate the 8% eBay Bucks promotion. This would be a serious rewards amount, that’s around $66 to spend in the future on eBay (through the eBay Bucks rewards program).
Pre-order new Canon M100 mirrorless camera
Canon is back with their renewed interest in their mirrorless system. They have a new camera, the M100, that will be available in two options. For $600, with the 15-45mm kit lens, and for $950 with the 15-45 and the 55-200 lenses. They are available in black or white and pre-ordering is available at B&H Photo and Aamzon itself and Adorama.
With this announcement, mirrorless cameras “scored an equalizer”, making the score 8 vs 8 in DSLR vs Mirrorless among the New Cameras of 2017.
Pre-order new Canon MT-26EX-RT Macro Twin Lite
Of Canon lighting interest, they have revealed a brand new Canon MT-26EX-RT Macro Twin Lite with a starting price of $989 and a mid-November 2017 release estimate. Pre-orders are accepted at B&H Photo and Amazon itself and Adorama.
Despite that estimate, there are a couple of listings at Amazon by Beach Camera that say this is in-stock and shipping in a few days. They have the same price and include some free accessories, one bundle with a 128GB Sandisk Extreme PRO SDXC, and another bundle with a Tripod, Kodak Flash and more. This also shows as in-stock at Beach Camera’s own website, but not at their Buydig online-centric website.
I have no way of verifying whether it is indeed in-stock there, so YMMV…
Starts 6pm ET: Nikon D850 Live Panel II
Nikon D850 Learnings Part II! Starting at 6pm ET today, there will a brand new live video-streaming six-person panel talking about the Nikon D850 and its capabilities. The panel will have both still and video experts, including the one and only Joe McNally.
You can watch it at Adorama and B&H Photo. The stream is using Livestream technology which may require Adobe Flash.
For pre-ordering options, check the Stock Tracker.
Refurbished Nikon 50mm f1.8D for $100
It is good to have choices. Especially when it comes to normal prime lenses 🙂 There is a cascade of three options for the good old Nikon 50mm f1.8D lens depending on condition and warranty situation:
+ manufacturer refurbished for $100 with free shipping at Adorama with a 90-day Nikon USA warranty
+ new condition imported grey-market with filter kit, and accessoro-trinkets for $112 by eBay seller “PhotoVideo 4 Less” without warranty
+ if buying on eBay and if eligible, don’t forget to first activate the 8% eBay Bucks offer
+ new condition with Nikon USA warranty with 52mm UV filter and accessoro-trinkets and 2% promotional rewards for $132 at Adorama
Speaking of Adorama, here is the latest situation in their Nikon manufacturer refurbished gear:
+ recently added refurbished Nikon gear
YMMV: 8% back in eBay Bucks on $50+ items
Jump in the Bay of Fees 🙂 This is YMMV ~ I do not know if eBay offers this to everyone or a subset of their registered users. Good until Thursday 3am eastern (8/31/17), you earn 8% eBay Bucks on your purchases of individual items priced at $50 or more.
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. The email title announcing this promotion is not as clear as previous ones, but it has “eBay Bucks” in it, so look for that if you are skimming or filtering eBay emails.
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.
Refurbished Nikon D810 body for $2199
The new Nikon D850 is coming later this year for $3300 [see Stock Tracker for options]. The existing Nikon D810 goes for $2800 in new condition at authorize dealers…
… but if you prefer to get it refurbished from an A-list dealer, you can get it refurbished at B&H Photo for $2199 with free shipping with a 90-day warranty (I think the warranty is from B&H, not Nikon).
Strategically, it’s not a bad idea, if you are going for the previous generation model, to get it refurbished or used, when the price difference between the new condition models is closer. Of course this is all relative, and one’s individual preferences and priorities vary, so there’s no one size fits all type of answer.

(SOLD OUT) Refurbished Olympus E-M10 II body for $300
As of a 1:22pm ET recheck, this is sold out again. These go in and out of stock at the Get Olympus store in a rather frequent (and maddening to anyone wanting to buy them right away) fashion. You can check the Olympus Outlet store for future listings. I’m also monitoring these and will post new blog-posts when they are back in-stock…
These have to be in-stock otherwise you can’t buy them. If the page doesn’t have an “Add to Cart” button [see screenshot at the bottom of this post], you can’t buy them…
