Rokinon 14mm f2.8 (Sony E) for $229 [Prime Deal]

I can’t post individually for every single one of the camera and photo lightning deals ~ you can find them over there in the typical Amazon format…ilter

… but when some of them are doing well percentage-claimed wise, I give in and post about them individually. Such is the case for the new condition Rokinon 14mm F2.8 manual focus lens, model FE14M-E, going for $229 with free shipping for PRIME members until 9:25pm ET or earlier if sold out. IT is 27% claimed as of 3:53pm ET.

And starting at 4:30pm ET, there will be lightning deals on some (or may be all) of the Kenko Nyumon filters. The listing has the full range from 37mm to 82mm, but it doesn’t say ahead of time which one(s) will be on sale…

Mirrorless Lenses under $500 (500+ options)

Among the latest action at Adorama (sales, instant savings, clearance, new arrivals, etc) they have a featured sale on Mirrorless Lenses under $500 with a staggering over 500 options available.

Participating in this sale are the camera manufacturers making lenses (Canon, Fuji, Sony, Panasonica, Olympus) , along with various 3rd party makers (Shiguma, Rokinon, Samyang, Meike, 7Artisans, HandEvision, etc)… There’s even two lenses for the good old adorkable Pentax Q system…

You can use the left hand side of the aforelinked pages to filter the results by manufacturer or “Lens Mount” or zoom ratio and so forth. Lots of filtering options.

Wednesday: Zeiss Batis 25/2 (Sony E) for $899, ONA Backpack, E-Image Tripod, 55″ LG, Zoom, Etc

It’s a Lens Day at the Wednesday B&H Photo daily deals with a six-pack of offers running until 11:59pm ET (or earlier if any of them manages to sell out ahead of its designated expiration time):

+ Zeiss Batis 25mm f/2 for $899 for the Sony E system

+ E-Image 2-Stage Aluminum Tripod with GH03 Head for $159
+ with Dolly for $219

+ ONA The Leather Clifton Camera and Everyday Backpack for $169

+ LG C7C 55″ Class HDR 4K UHD Smart OLED TV for $1000
+ UHD 3840 x 2160, OLED, HDR10, Dolby Vision, HLG HDR, Wi-Fi & Ethernet, etc

+ THRUSTMASTER T-GT Racing Wheel for $400

In other daily deals action, at the Amazon USA Gold Box there’s a sale of Estalon laptop bags, an Audeze gaming headphone for $299, a Roomba 860 for $270, and of more practical and mundane interest, various Gilette razors and blades…

Meanwhile at the Best Buy dailies the headliner is the new condition 12.3″ Surface PRO, 6th generation, going for $699. This is without the Pen and without the keyboard-case-thing. It has 8GB RAM (which should really be minimum for any Windows computer without a single core processor), 128GB SSD, Core i5 processor, and things like that…

Having said that, the promise and premise of a Surface is kinda defeated when it is sold without the pen and keyboard-cover ~ you are essentially buying an expensive Windows tablet. When you add the Type Cover, the Pen, and the Moon Dial, the prices goes up up and away.

On the other hand, Surface fans can become Surface households, so they may already have the necessary accessories and they just need more devices. Oops, this is turning into an out of control post, so the time is writing to stop writing in this post, stop writing NOW 🙂
