Hundreds of products are participating in the B&H Photo BILD festivities as we mentioned earlier, and I can’t list or highlight them all, but I am highlighting three name-brand 3rd-party lenses, sadly only made for CaNiKoN. Thankfully adapters/converters/etc exist 🙂
We start with a classic pro zoom, the new condition Sigma 24-70mm f2.8 DG OS HSM Art going for $999 in your choice of Canon EF or Nikon F. This lens is not perfect [then what lens is?], but consider that you can buy TWO of these for the price of ONE Canon/Nikon-made option! Shiguma time, believe it!

Case in point, as part of the B&H BILD festivities ending Thursday night, you can have the new condition Tokina 11-16mm f2.8 CF ATX-i lens for $299 in your choice of Canon EF or Nikon F. Sadly this lens is not made for any other systems.
And how about a bright prime lens? Also part of the B&H Photo BILD festivities, you can get the new condition Sigma 85mm f1.4 DG HSM Art for $899 in your choice of Canon EF or Nikon F.

Around the Interwebs
We start with a FREEBIE, if you are a member of the Lucky’s supermarket rewards program, this weekend you can score a FREE 16oz A-Game sports drink of sorts.
If you are a fan of the REI stores, good until 7/24/23 they are having a handpicked REI Outlet sale with 423 products participating as of the time of writing.
If you are fond of the Ninja kitchen gear, there’s such a sale at Amazon headlined by the Foodi 5-in-1 Indoor Grill and Air Fryer for $130.
If you enjoy e-book e-reading, there’s over 110 e-book in the Sunday Kindle daily deals…
And we close with something even more off-topic: I just can’t believe that the only email sitting in my spam folder comes from one of the biggest and oldest and most …respected spammers of the interwebs, IEEE 🙂 Yes, the concentric ironies of that!
One of the stables of Prime Dayz and Holiday shopping deals and Lightning Deals at Amazon are Rokinon and Samyang lenses. And like clockwork, there’s a 4-page sale of Rokinon/Samyang lenses.
Separate from the above, there’s another Rokinon lens sale, this one with 11 participants.
Too many to list here and too many to price-check here individually. You can price-check them at Adorama and B&H Photo if you like…
