Welcome to the Camera Dome :)
Just like most babies (except perhaps Gilly’s baby), the Lensbabies are growing up in size and in cost. Their Velvet 56, available for various DSLR and mirrorless systems is now going for $450 at Adorama and by various at Amazon.
CORRECTION: blog-post title initially showed price as $50. It is/was $450. Probably cause of typo: the dollar-sign being shift-4.
CreativeLIVE is back with another sale, this time they offer a dozen online classes for $19 each. It is a diverse set, from building DIY Lighting Gear, to authentic portraits, to being a second shooter, and more.
But if you prefer not to pay, and you have schedule flexibility, you can watch classes for FREE when they are originally recording online. Check their ON-AIR SCHEDULE for the upcoming schedule. There’s a variety of classes, including a set classes focusing on Posing. On the camera training front, they plan the following camera “Fast Start” classes:
+ July 24: Olympus E-M1 Mark II
+ July 25: Sony a6500
+ these will be free to watch while they are recording live
If you are a T-Mobile customer, rejoice! They finally have some photography-themed freebies for their July 18 (2017) “T-Mobile Tuesdays” freebies. Anyone who is a paying T-Mobile customer qualifies for these offers, and better yet, you get one set of freebies per line, not per customer or main account holder.
If you are not familiar, you can get the freebies at the T-Mobile Tuesdays website or by downloading their Tuesdays app (this is a separate app, not the regular T-Mobile app). Prepare for your screen to be taken over by magenta overload 🙂 You login using your T-Mobile account number and password. If you have multiple accounts, login with each phone number if you want to claim more than one set of freebies.
For Tuesday July 18, 2017, the two photographer freebies are:
Also, some of the prizes to be won (if you play the “games” on their app or website include National Geographic prizes.
Screenshots of the freebies after the jump…
The previously mentioned coupon code PXSTEP10 gets you $10 off a $20+ order at AdoramaPIX, but if you are planning to place a much larger order of photo prints or custom photo books, coupon codes PRINT4TH (for prints) and BOOK4TH (for custom photo books) get you 10% off the order total.
In other words, if your order total is $100+, you save more with the 10% off coupon. If it is under $100, then $10 off is a bigger discount. Cannot be combined with other offers. Coupon cannot be stacked. Free shipping with $49+ orders. Hudson albums excluded.
Both coupons expire 7/16/17 at 11:59pm pacifica time.

The weekend is over, and so is this sale…
The weekend is here, which means another DiscountMags weekend sale until Monday night. This is what I call the “Default Sale” with Outdoor Photographer, Digital Photo going for $5 per magazine per year, “Digital Photo PRO” goes for $7 per year. These three are printed magazines delivered to your front door. But there’s also a digital Zinio subscription for Shutterbug for $9 per year. The usual terms apply.

This promotion ended but check back on the blog next Friday since they seem to have new coupons on Fridays…
This is not “action camera day”, it just happens there are sales everywhere of them 🙂 BuyDig through the Rakuten website is offering the new condition GoPro HERO4 CHDHX-401 for $276 with free shipping until 7/16/17 or earlier if sold out. The price is automatically discounted while this promotion is running.
You can use promo code REWARDME to get 5% in Rakuten Reward points. This does not change the price you pay. It only earns you Rakuten Rewards which you can use in future purchases.
The YI M43rds camera sale continues from Prime Day at Amazon’s website, but there’s more action on the YI sales front. Their entry-level YI action camera gets a FREE YI Action Camera Battery Replacement, all together for $60 with free shipping. You can add them to the shopping cart individually, or you can page down to the “Special offers and product promotions” of the action camera product page and click on the “Add Both to Cart” yellow button. No coupon is needed.
The price of the battery will be deducted at the top right corner of the Amazon Checkout page. No coupon is needed. If the price of the battery does not get deducted, it means the offer ended or there’s something else wrong.
These are sold by YI’s Amazon store, with the orders fulfilled by Amazon, so they are Prime-eligible if you are a member.
We have a new camera in-stock alert! The Canon EOS 5D Mark IV DSLR Camera with Canon Log body only is in-stock and ready to ship for $3599 with free expedited shipping at B&H Photo. The standard log-less model goes for $3299.
It was delayed by the Prime Day madness, but not defeated! The Fixed Lens Cameras has just been posted. It goes through Fixed Lens Cameras, with this year, removing 1/2.x” cameras from consideration. It’s 2017 🙂
To make up for the delay, I will launch a brand new fifth installment in the series by the weekend. This will be based on existing data. You can probably guess what it will be if you think it through but I won’t spoil it ahead of time 🙂
TIP: these can get long, but you can send them to your favorite “read it later” / bookmarking service for undistracted reading.
+ 35mm FULL FRAME digital cameras
+ APS-C dSLRs
+ Mirrorless Cameras
+ Fixed Lens Cameras
+ COMING NEXT: NEW Installment using Existing Data
This lightning deal expired but Rokinon lenses are recurring at the Gold Box, so I’m sure more of them will return at unspecified points in time in the future…
Oops, this one was hidden in the convoluted way Amazon product pages with multiple options are presented. Also good until 2:15am ET on Saturday is the Sony E mount version of the Rokinon Cine DS DS85M-NEX 85mm T1.5 AS IF UMC Full Frame Cine Wide Angle Lens for Sony E for $240 with free shipping.
This deal of the day deal expired…

This coupon expired, but Monoprice has coupons on a weekly basis…
Friday is here and so is a new coupon for the Monoprice website. Coupon code DEALS20 gets you 20% off an order of $200+ (instead of the usual $300+), so it’s a plus if you want to place a smaller order. The coupon expires Friday night (like midnight in the pacific time zone since that’s where Monoprice is headquartered).
The second Rokinon lens in today’s Gold Box is the new condition Rokinon Cine DS DS85M-C 85mm T1.5 AS IF UMC for $319 in Canon EF. It is the only one that is a lightning deal which ends at 2:15am ET on Saturday.
Meanwhile ending at 3am ET on Saturday is the Kodak Dock & Wi-Fi 4×6” Photo Printer with Advanced Patent Dye Sublimation Printing Technology & Photo Preservation Overcoat Layer going for $100.

If you want to get the DJI Mavic PRO drone, butt also need more accessories than what comes with the standard kit, Adorama is bundling an extra battery, a Charging Pad, a Landing Pad, and a 64GB Sandisk Ultra microSDXC card. All together they go for $1028 with free expedited shipping from Adorama.
The Corel AfterShot Pro 3 is a post-Prime-Day sale for $20 in digital download option, for PC or for Mac, at Amazon by Amazon’s Digital Services, which is their digital selling persona. The key-card by mail option is NOT on sale. This is not a lighting deal, so expiration time/date is unknown.
Nikon has just launched a new 70-300mm flagship lens but if you want to go to the other end of the spectrum, and don’t want to spend a lot, you can get in open-box condition the Nikon 70-300mm f/4-5.6G AF for $109 plus shipping at B&H Photo with a 1-year warranty provided by B&H (not Nikon USA).
Prime Day also brought us a brand new Nikon F system stabilized lens. It is the new Nikon 70-300 f4.5-5.6E ED VR AF-P with a pre-order price of $750, available for pre-ordering at B&H Photo. So this adds even more options to the 70-300mm zoom range in the Nikon line-up, multiple with and without VR.
This lens too has been added to the New Lenses of 2017 tracking page.
The Prime Day coupon expired at the Get Olympus store but it looks like they have some more additions, including another blast from the bast fixed lens digital camera, it is the factory reconditioned Olympus Stylus SP-100 for $187~ with free shipping. This is a 50x optical zoom, with a 90-day Olympus repair warranty, and 30-day return policy.
Some more cameras and/or lenses and/or accessories got added but I’m hazy post-PrimeDay as to which ones were not there before 🙂
There is a nice choice of Prime lenses there, and if you are not afraid of silver lenses, the factory reconditioned Olympus 45mm f1.8 goes for $200, $40 less than the black color scheme. So one could build a prime lens arsenal by going refurbished instead of buying only one or two in new condition.
PS: occasionally they drop Four Thirds (DSLR) gear in there, so if you are interested in M43rds, to be on the safe side, make sure check that the lenses you buy are “M.Zuiko”. This also serves as a memo to self to remember to check before I post 🙂

Canon fans! For Thursday 7/13/17, KEH has a Canon Sale offering 5% off Canon Cameras, 10% off Canon Lenses, and 15% off Canon Accessories with coupon code CAN07A entered over there.
This sale ended but external hard drive sales come and go every few days…
It looks like this may be “defeating” the Prime Day sale (although I’m not sure if it was the exact same model since there are many variations). Regardless, the new condition 4TB Seagate Backup Plus Desktop External Hard Drive USB 3.0 (STDT4000100) is on sale for $90 with free shipping at Amazon by Amazon itself with a limit of up to two units per customer. It comes out to $22.50 per TB.
