Welcome to the Camera Dome :)
Hooray-Hooray, for the third day in a row it’s a LENS DAY at the Adorama daily deals, a big plus for Super Marco (okay, Macro) fans! This offer is good until Thursday 6/24/21 at 10am eastern or earlier if sold out…
“It” refers to the Nikon F version of the new condition Mitakon Zhongyi Creator 85mm f2.8 1-5X Super Macro Lens going for $299 with free US shipping…
The Canon EF and Pentax K versions remain at their standard prices (around $450)…
It’s back to back LENS DAYZ at the Adorama daily deals but today is not the type of lens most of you may have been expecting. It is an 18-55 APS-C kit lens 🙂
+ refurbished Nikon 18-55mm f3.5-5.6G DX VR AF-P for $80 with a 90-day Nikon USA warranty
+ GoDox Flashpoint FV200 R2 Hybrid Continuous LED Light and HSS Flash (Godox FV200) for $349
+ Glow 12×12′ Portable Butterfly Light Modifier Collapsible Kit for $500
+ Lian-Li PC-O11DW Dynamic Mid Tower Tempered Glass Computer Case for $145
Prime lenses for Prime members! Most of these lenses show the regular price with verbiage that says “save an additional 20%” for Prime members, so keep that in mind when you are looking at the search-index listing pages below. Or add them to the shopping cart.
For example, the first lens in the Samyang listing below is a $629 14/2.8 AF (RF) lens. If you are a Prime member and you add it to cart, you will pay 20% off that price, making it $500 and something
A total of 139 prime Rokinon and Samyang lenses of all kinds are on sale during Prime festivities. I obviously cannot list them all, so I will not list any of them per the Fairness Doctrine 😉
+ 20% off 94 Rokinon Lenses
+ 20% off 45 Samyang Lenses
+ note that the numbers are lens options, meaning that if a particular Samyang lens is made for five different mounts, it shows as five separate listings, so it counts as five of the 45 above
Do not bat an eye 😉 Prime members get a 20% off discount on the current price ($1299) of the new condition Zeiss Batis 25mm f2 for the Sony E system dropping it to $1040…
You can start a free 30-day Prime trial if you want to grab it…
NOTE: that some of the Prime Day deals show the sale price on the Amazon page, while others show the standard price with a 20% off for Prime members signage (the price will be adjusted in the shopping cart). I’m guessing this might be because of MAP?
