Tamron SP 24-70mm f/2.8 DI VC USD with FREE Hoya 82mm Filter + $32 Rewards for $799 [C/N]

I couldn’t decide between a tummy and a Tammy Wynette intro for this deal, so let’s just pretend I wrote something funny and move on to the deal 🙂

The new condition Tamron SP 24-70mm f/2.8 DI VC USD Lens is bundled with a FREE Hoya 82mm UV Haze NXT HMC Filter and 4% promotional rewards (about $32 to be spent in future purchases) at B&H Photo in your choice of Canon or Nikon systems.

Note that the lens on sale is the first generation. The latest model is the G2 from Tamron which goes for $1199 in Canon and Nikon (without rewards or free Hoya filter).

I’m sure Pentax and Sony A shooters would love an $800 lens of this kind as well but is only a Canikon lens 🙁 At least the Pentax 24-70mm f2.8 is $1100, unlike Canon and Nikon who double or triple that amount.

Fuji XF 27mm f2.8 Lens (no warranty) for $290 w/free S&H

Also at the Massdrop website, with the offer running for the next six days and a few hours, you can get the new condition Fujifilm XF 27mm f2.8 lens for $290 with free USA shipping and handling. This will ship in mid-March 2018, and all sales are final. There is no warranty with it, so factor that in the price.

Sigma 135mm f1.8 ART for $1097 (Nikon) or $1140 (Canon)

When the Amazon Price Bots play their game of thrones, you win sometimes because Amazon’s own price drops to match some of the 3rd-party sellers. Such is the case at the moment for the new condition Sigma 135mm f1.8 ART lens. You can get it for $1097 with free shipping in the Nikon F system and $1140 in the Canon EF system. These links point to Amazon’s own listing. Other 3rd-party sellers offer them there for less, but they don’t look like authorized dealers or recognizable names.

Limit three of each per customer. As this is a random Price Bot price-match, the price can change at any point in time. Amazon’s price bots work in mysterious ways 🙂
