Adorama and Sony have partnered to offer the Imagine and Create Week of Sony gear sales at Adorama, running up until 6/19/22.
Plenty of offers (too many to list here individually), along with special trade-in and financing promotions.
Wallets at the e-ready! B&H Photo is now accepting pre-orders for the recently revealed M2 MacBook PROs starting at $1299 for the 8GB RAM with 256GB SSD model.
Memory options include 16GB and 24GB with a +$200 jump at each step. Storage options include 500GB and 1TB with a +$200 jump at each step, and a 2TB option with a +$800 on the base price.
Optionally B&H has a “buy together and save” option with a “up to $24 off” combined purchase discount on the Logitech MX Master 3 or MX Anywhere 3 mice. Which is reasonable, you don’t pay for M2 and then use a $10 Amazon mouse 🙂
Hooray-Hooray, lenses are back at the Adorama daily deals, this set of offerings running until Saturday at 10am ET or earlier if sold out:
+ Rokinon 14mm T3.1 Cine DS ED AS IF UMC for $299 in Sony E, M43rds, Canon EF
+ the other mount options are $369+

Amazon has officially revealed that Prime Days 2022 will be July 12 and 13 in 2022, which, according to my calendar are Tuesday and Wednesday. This event is open to Prime members only.
If you are not a Prime member, you can still participate by starting a strategic 30-day Prime free trial that includes July 12-13 time window. Amazon is well aware of this and encouraging it because they know that a sizable percentage of those who start 30-day free trials will stick around as paying Prime members for eternity 🙂
Alternately, if you are not eligible for the free trial, but you also don’t want to commit to the $140 per year plan [back in our time kids, Prime was $100 per year but we had to climb up the internet hill backwards at dialup speeds to get it!], you can start a $15/month month-to-month membership and keep it only for the time window that covers the July 12-13 Prime Dayz.
Remember, a Prime membership also includes access to Amazon’s videos and movies, so you can factor your TV/movies streaming/watching schedule into the decision when to start your 30-day free trial!
A Prime membership includes many other benefits as well. To give you a general sense, we have a Prime Benefits round-up post at the main blog, but note that it was last updated in late April 2018, that’s *GASP* four years ago 🙂 Time sure does fly!
Congratulations to the Golden State Warriors for yet another championship, and Steve Kerr one shy of double figures! Welcome to 100.1 FM Sports Talk Radio 😉

We have another variant of the Kindle eBook Credit offer. This is YMMV, may be only pre-selected customers and requires simple offer activation (eg by visiting the offer page while logged on to your designated Amazon account).
The offer this time is this: spend $15+ and get a $5 ebook promotional credit that must be spent within 21 days of issuance.
The purchase window to get to $15+ is June 13-24 in 2022. As in previous incarnations, the whole purchase window counts as long as you activate the offer within the window. So if you activate on the 23rd, all purchases from the 13th on-wards still count towards the $15+ target…
For a limited time (not a daily deal, so expiration date unknown) Adorama is having a sale on Profoto Clic Gels going for $25 each. They are available in 13 lucky options including colors and grids 🙂
Meanwhile among the Tuesday 6/14/22 Amazon Daily Deals there’s Bosch tools and Fire tablets and Vahdam India Tea and Gifts with 17 options, including a “Dad Mug” (it literally says “Dad” on it).

Since summer is here, Cuisinart grills and related accessories are among the Monday Amazon Gold Box deals du jour…
At the Monday Woot dailies there’s a broad price-range of Viewsonic projectors ($110 to $1000), and refurbished Microsoft Surface bundles from $170 to $420…
If you want a Chromebook-type laptop price but running Windows 11 in S Mode instead, the headliner of the Monday Best Buy dailies is a 14-inch ASUS for $130. Yes, one hundred and thirty dollar(e)s! New condition with 1-year warranty! The trade-offs? Intel Celery 4020, 4GB RAM, 1360×768, and a very claustrophobic 64GB of on-board storage.
S-Mode is easy to get rid of if you don’t want it, just a setting change. But note that once you get rid of S-Mode, you can’t bring it back!
Yes, someone opened the door at an ASUS warehouse and used up whatever leftover parts they found. They should have called it “The Leftovers” 🙂 But did I mention it’s just $130? 🙂
Running until Monday 10am ET we have a duo of Adorama daily deals as follows:
+ Nanuk Small Series 905 Lightweight NK-7 Resin Waterproof Protective Case, Black for $30

REMINDER
The 2022 OPTIC B&H Conference kicks off today Sunday June 12 and goes until the 15th. It has both physical and virtual parts! Registration is FREE!

Our last reminder, the 2022 B&H Photo OPTIC 2022 Trade-Show/Conference event is taking place June 12-15 in 2022 in The Big Apple! This is a hybrid in-person and virtual event! Registration is FREE! You can find, at the aforelinked page, the schedule and details and also check which events are in-person (eg photo-walks) and which are virtual and which are both.
Fri-YAY is here and as usual, the B&H Photo dailies run until Saturday at 11:59pm ET:

This is not a daily deal but an “organic” or manufacturer-initiated sale. Or something like that. The point being, I do not know when it expires 🙂
The TTArtisan 35mm f1.4 Lens is on sale for $73 at Adorama and also at B&H Photo in either the silver or black color scheme of the lens…
The sale price is good on the M43rds, Fuji X, Sony E, Leica L, Nikon Z and Canon EF-M options. The Leica M however is decidedly NOT on sale ($449).
On a totally unrelated note (I don’t have anywhere else to put it in LOL), REI is having a name-brand clearance sale on past-season styles. Since I’m five seasons behind, past-seasons are new seasons to me 😉
UPDATE!
There’s no camera-n-photo item in this round of Adorama daily deals (change Friday 6/10/22 at 10am ET) so I’m appending them to this post instead of creating a new one:

+ Windows 10 Home, Free Upgrade to Windows 11
+ H&A Studio Monitor Stands (Pair) for $45
+ H&A HA-OML-XLR Professional Omni-Directional Lavalier XLR Microphone for $20
Per The Fairness Doctrine (TM), since we previously mentioned the M-series MacBooks we must also mention a Microsoft Surface product 😉
And what a coincidence, the “Surface Laptop GO 2”, a multi-touch 12.4-inch actual laptop is now available for pre-ordering for $700 (128GB on-board) or $800 (256GB) at B&H Photo and Amazon and such…
This has 8GB RAM, 2.4 GHz Intel Core i5 4-Core (11th Gen), 12.4″ 1536 x 1024 PixelSense touchscreen with Intel Irix Xe graphics, Wifi 6, Bluetooth 5.1, one of each USB A and C ports, fingerprint reader, Windows 11, etc.
The laptop supports the Surface Pen but it is NOT included. It promises up to 13.5 hours battery life.
PS: 128GB is just too “Apple” (aka too little) for the price 🙂

We have an in-stock alert! No, not the just-announced M2 MacBook AIRs, those will take some time, but the previously announced 14.2″ and 16.2″ Macbook PROs with the “M1 PRO” and “M1 MAX” chips are now in-stock and ready to ship at various configurations at B&H Photo.
