Of e-reader interest under “Computers” at the Woot website there’s a trio of new condition 9th-generation 7-inch Kindle Oasis e-readers ranging from $150 to $200 (8GB = $150, 32GB = $170, 32GB + cellular = $200). They come with a 1-year Amazon warranty. This is the “previous generation”. The latest Kindles are the 10th generation which includes the Oasis 3. Neither uses USB-C. Once upon a time I knew this line-up by heart, now there’s way too many of them. Thankfully there’s a very nice Wackypedia page to sort them all out! I got started with the “Kindle Keyboard”, although I was ponderously pondering the 9.7-inch Kindle DX before that…

Zeiss Touit 50mm f2.8 MACRO w/freebies for $849 [E/X]

Speaking of normal primes, how about one that is also a MACRO? The new condition Zeiss Touit [does it have its own Twitter account?] 50mm f2.8 MACRO is on sale for $849 in the Fuji X and Sony E systems by Amazon itself (no freebies) and at Adorama (no freebies) and at B&H Photo (with FREE Zeiss T* 52mm UV filter)…

Pre-order new Tamron 17-70mm f2.8 Di III-A VC RXD for $799 [E]

Sony E fans, in mid-January 2021 you can have in your hands a brand new f2.8 zoom lens for the APS-C E system! That’s when the estimate is for the release of the just-announced Tamron 17-70mm f2.8 Di III-A VC RXD lens. It has a pre-order price of $799 and already B&H Photo is accepting pre-orders

Interesting decision to release a brand new APS-C lens in a world where full frame E-system cameras are close in price to the higher tier APS-C E-system cameras. But for those who are bought into the APS-C E-system, certainly having a compact(er) f2.8 17-70mm (25-105mm eq) lens can be quite tempting

Panasonic 25mm f1.7 with Extras for $148 [m43]

If you are looking for a normal prime for the world of micro four thirds without breaking the bank, the new condition Panasonic 25mm f1.7 lens is currently on sale for $148 by Amazon itself (no freebies) and at B&H Photo (free lens care kit) and also at Adorama (free filters and cleaning trinkets)…

Per the Amazon Camera and Photo Lightning Deals schedule, starting at 2:30pm eastern (3pm for non-Prime members) there is going to be a manual focus lightning deal, FINALLY at Amazon!

+ starts 2:30pm ET: Neewer 35mm f1.7 MF lens (price before sale $69)
+ the listing also has a 10% off clip-on coupon
+ the Gold Box listing points towards the Sony E option, which has the same pre-sale price as the Canon EF-M
+ also on the same listing is the Fuji X version which is down to $50
+ sometimes the lightning deal is for the item pointed to by the Gold Box teasers (in this case the Sony E)
+ sometimes the lightning deal is for all or multiple items in a listing
+ on rare occasion the lightning deal is on something other than the one pointed to by the Gold Box teasers
+ in order words, we’ll know for sure when it goes live at 2:30pm ET on Thursday 🙂

The rest of the lightning deals include the usual fare, lots of Neewer camera and photo accessories, including LP-E6 charging, lighting kits, AKASO and other action cams, etc, etc, etc…

+ 24mm f3.5 DG DN for $549
+ 35mm f2 DG DN for $639
+ 65mm f2 DG DN for $699

Initially at least, the prices are the same, there is no “Leica tax”. Of course prices can change over time, eg the E-system lenses getting discounted but not the Leica [pure speculation of course].

You can preorder these lenses at B&H Photo and Adorama
