Imported Nikon 35mm f1.8G DX without warranty for $150
The Nikon 35mm f1.8G DX VR goes for $197 with various freebies or promotional rewards at authorized Nikon USA dealers (eg Adorama and B&H Photo).
But if you are a bit of a risk-taker, you can get this in imported grey-market with no warranty for $150 with free shipping by eBay selelr “PhotoVideo4Less” (100%, New York). Limit five per customer. Over 3100 units got sold so far from this listing. For the speed-readers, there is no warranty included.
A simple, low priced prime lens is certainly a lower risk than buying a zoom or pro or complicated lens, but still, it’s up to you to decide where your risk and comfort levels are.
Flashpoint RoveLight 600 Ws Monolight with On Board Power (Bowens Mount) for $450
Another one of the March Madness sales is the new condition Flashpoint RoveLight 600 Ws Monolight with On Board Power (Bowens Mount) offered for $450 with free expedited shipping… Optionally, when you expand the yellow “Special Offer” section, you are greeted with a variety of combined purchase discount possibilities. There are five different sub-tabs to look into, here’s a partial screenshot of them:
Flashpoint 198 LED BiColor On-Camera Light for $50 w/free S&H
The Flashpoint 198 LED BiColor On-Camera Light is currently on sale for $50 with free S&H at Adorama as one of their latest March Madness sales… Optionally, when you expand the yellow “Special Offer” section of the Flashpoint, there are various combined purchase discounts if you buy this together with other Flashpoint lighting-related products…
Refurbished Canon 24-105mm f4L IS w/1yr warranty for $540
The new condition Canon 24-105mm f4L IS USM EF lens goes for $1000 at authorized dealers, bundled with a handful of lens-y accessories, eg Adorama (filters, cleaning kit, tether, lens shade, Corel software bundle).
But if you want to pay almost half of that, you can get it in manufacturer refurbished condition with a 1-year warranty at the official Canon USA store for $540 with free standard US shipping. You can almost buy two for the price of one!
PS: I wonder how authorized dealers feel when the manufacturer undercuts them dramatically in price, while at the same time the manufacturer places strict restrictions on what prices authorized dealers can offer. Sounds -opoly-ish to me but I’m not an expert in this field, just a bloviator with a keyboard 🙂
