+ and more at the refurbished DSLR sale

The new round of Nikon SLR Lens Instant savings are now nicely organized at B&H Photo for quick perusal. A total of 16 lenses and 1 converter are participating in this round. Many of the lenses are eligible for 2% promotional rewards.
It’s Sunday, with an extra hour to boot, yes, it is a 25 hour Sunday! The microwave timer is probably wrong now? You can use part of that extra hour to take a look at the latest round of Nikon Instant Savings on DSLRs and mostly DSLR-Lenses. Some discount-highlights from Adorama:
+ Nikon 24-85mm f3.5-4.5G ED AF-S VR for $500
+ Nikon 14-24mm f2.8G ED-IF AF-S for $1900
+ Nikon 24mm f1.4G AF-S ED for $2000
+ some items also earn Adorama promotional rewards
+ actual prices are *6.95, but I round them for expediency
On a semi-related note, other things equal, a new round of Price Charts will be completed by the end of this week. I have to start on Monday-Tuesday, because there are manufacturer-initiated price-changes on Sundays, and they sometimes propagate at different times at different retailers. PS: please feel free to e-yell at me until it gets published 🙂
It’s Shiguma time once again at the featured eBay Deals, where BuyDig’s eBay store is offering the new condition Sigma 18-250mm F3.5-6.3 OS DC HSM Macro lens for $240 with free shipping, in your choice of Canon, Nikon, Sony and Pentax SLR mounts. Limit five per customer. The Canon and Nikon versions are OS (optical image stabilization), while the Sony and Pentax are not (presumably [I can’t really speak on behalf of Shiguma, so I can only presume/assume]) because of the sensor-shift image stabilization in those cameras.
If you are fond of mirror lenses, the Trending eBay Deals have something of potential interest, especially if a Canon shooter. The 47th Street Photo eBay store (99.2%) is offering the new condition Opteka 500mm f8 HD mirror lens. Included with that is an Opteka High Definition 2X Telephoto Converter (which is why the eBay listing says 500-1000mm f8), along with an Opteka T-Mount Adapter for Canon. The 500mm lens includes a soft pouch and three rear-mounted filters (two NDs and Skylight).
All that for $90 with free shipping. The 500mm lens has a 10 year warranty per the eBay listing. Over 690 units got sold so far from this eBay listing. The seller has a 60-day return policy but RMA must be issued within 45-days after purchase-date. Shipping charges not included/refunded.
The Olympus USA Outlet store has received more supplies and sales for their refurbished Olympus cameras and lenses. Among the headliners of the refurbished sale is E-M10 body for $360 or w/14-42 for $400, the 12-40/2.8 for $640, the E-M1 for $960, and more. A total of 31 items are part of this sale. Their refurbished items come with a 90-day warranty.
Separately, the Olympus store has a 30% off sale on 4-year extended warranty for cameras or lenses, but as of the time of writing, the price is not discounted after you add it to the shopping cart. I don’t know if there’s a glitch or a magic coupon code is needed. The aforelinked page says “in-cart savings”. Maybe the discount appears at the very last step before paying?
The Opteka 6.5mm f3.5 HD Aspherical Fisheye with removable hood is one of the featured eBay Deals for $150, but you can actually get it for even less, $140 with free shipping by 47th Street fulfilled by Amazon, so it gets Prime shipping, and you deal with Amazon’s customer service in case of questions or problems. The $140 price is for the Canon and Sony-Minolta-Dyxum-Alpha. The others go for $150+.
B&H Photo has a sale on Hasselblad E-mount lenses. Some are lens-only, some come bundled with either a black or brown bag. Check each individual listing for details and options. A total of seven options are there, for the 16mm f2.8 and 16-70/4 and 18-200/3.5-6.3 OSS lenses.
Waiting for the new Nikon 24mm f1.8G lens? Good news! As of the time of writing, the lens in-stock and ready to ship for $750 with free expedited shipping and 2% promotional rewards at B&H Photo.
If you don’t need it right away, Adorama bundles a handful of free accessories with it for the same price: 72mm Tiffen filter, Corel Software kit (includes Aftershot Pro 2 and Corel PSP X7), lens cap tether, and cleaning kit.
Tokina time. This offer ends by the end of day on Monday 10/26/15, B&H Photo is offering the Tokina AT-X 116 PRO DX-II 11-16mm f2.8 for $400 with free expedited shipping and 4% promotional rewards (= $16~) in the Canon mount and Nikon mount and Sony-Minolta mount.
Rokinon needs a theme song to help them stand out in the crowded world of lenses. May I suggest licensing the Scorpions, “Here I am, Rockinon You…”.
With that totally unnecessary bad pun out of the way, we have a sale on the Rokinon 14mm f2.8 lens. You can get it for $280 with free shipping in the Canon EF, Sony SLR A-mount and MirrorNyet E-mount, Pentax K-mount, and Micro Four Thirds, or $290 with free shipping in the Fuji X mount. Check the various “mount tabs” at B&H Photo (SLR lenses) and B&H Photo (mirrorless lenses) and Amazon by Amazon itself to find the ones of interest.
Next up in the price ladder, at $300 you can get either the Samsung NX or the Nikon with AE chip.
NOTE: at Amazon, the Sony E-mount is currently restricted to Prime members only.
If this lens wants to license a theme song, how about Vanilla Ice with “Zeiss Zeiss Baby!”. Now that you have that song stuck in your heads for the next 24 hours (you are welcome), let’s get back on topic. The Zeiss 50mm f1.4 Planar T* Manual Focus for the Canon EF mount (ZE) is on sale for $625 with free expedited shipping and 4% promotional rewards (about $25) AND a free 58mm Carl Zeiss T* UV Filter included automatically by B&H Photo while this promotion is running… This is among the 2015 Photo Plus Expo Specials…
I cannot find the Nikon version at the B&H website using the search function, but you can get it for the same price and 4% rewards but without the free Zeiss UV filter at Adorama.
