Welcome to the Camera Dome :)
For about three days and change (as of the time of writing of this blog post), Massdrop is offering the new condition Kamlan 28mm f1.4 manual focus lens for $150 with free US shipping in your choice of Fuji X, Sony E, Micro Four Thirds or Canon EF-M.
These will ship in mid-September from the vendor. The listing does not mention warranty, so assume there is none.
Woot is running yet another Garage sale, and among the Electronics garage items you can find the new condition Olympus 40-150mm f4-5.6R M.Zuiko micro.four.thirds lens in the silver.color.scheme going for $100 with free shipping for Prime members or $6 calendar-day flat for non-members. It comes with a 1-year Olympus warranty…
The aforementioned sale also includes the previously-mentioned Zeikos Deluxe Medium Hard-Shell Camera-Case going for $28 with the same shipping terms/fees as above… There’s also a Canon NB-6H battery going for $20, and the BB-8 Droid with Force Band for $56…
NOTE also that Woot is celebrating its birthday and there are various sale-a-brations happening over there this week… Among other things, they are planning on selling 15,000 “Boxes of Crap” aka BOCs…
HOLY CATS! That's 15 thousand BOCs for this week's #Woot 15th Birthday celebration! pic.twitter.com/pwWa1LHAZw

Shipping is free for Prime members (you have to connect your Prime and Woot accounts ~ a one time activity) or $6 flat for non-members…
For a limited time, Adorama is having a flash sale on the new condition Rokinon 12mm f2 NCS CS MF manual focus lens going for $249 with free US shipping in the Sony E, Fuji X, M43rds and Canon EF-M in the black color scheme. Additionally, the Sony E version is also on sale for $249 in the silver color while, while the silver Fuji X and M43rds go for $20 more…
Speaking of Adorama, they are having a limited time Studio/Lighting gear sale of their house brands (along with a few name brands like iKAN) for the weekend…
Massdrop is back on again with a new lens offering. It is the new condition Olympus M. Zuiko ED 12-40mm f/2.8 lens offered for $560 with free US shipping. International shipping appears to hover around $10 but I can’t check all the countries in the universe 🙂
There is no mention of warranty in the listing, and this is the international version of the lens. In other words, a grey market from the perspective of the US market.
The offer runs for the next seven days (from posting time) and will get shipping in mid-to-late April 2019 by Massdrop
In new condition at authorized Olympus USA dealers this goes for $1000 (eg B&H, Adorama). Used prices start at $559 in condition “V” at Adorama
If you are a fan of mirrorless systems and manual focus prime lenses, the Kamlan 28mm F1.4 is currently offered for $150 at the Massdrop website for the next five days and change. This is available in four different mirrorless systems, Fuji X, Sony E-mount, Micro Four Thirds, and Canon EF-M.
Orders will ship in mid-April 2019. The product description has no mention of a warranty, so assume there is none. Shipping is free in the US. International shipping is around $5, with the exact amount depending on individual countries and regions. A prime lens is not that hard to ship after all 🙂
If you are comfortable getting a PRO lens without a manufacturer warranty, Massdrop is offering for the next two days and change [from blog-posting time] the new condition Olympus 40-150mm f2.8 PRO ED M.Zuiko lens for $880 plus shipping which is under $10 for the US zipcodes I tried and varying around $20 depending on country.
There is no mention of warranty in the listing, so assume there is no warranty. This is the international version of the lens. This is how they explain it on their page.
The orders will be shipped in mid-April of 2019 by Massdrop…
Adorama is running a limited time promotion [they call them “snapshot deals”] on the new condition Rokinon 12mm f2 NCS CS MF lens for $249 in the silver color scheme in the Sony E and Micro Four Thirds systems and $269 in the Fuji X and Canon M systems. Meanwhile the black color scheme goes for $269 with free shipping in all four aforementioned systems…

This is only on reconditioned/refurbished items which is what their Outlet store has. The Olympus store offers a 90-day Olympus USA warranty on the reconditioned products they sell. Free shipping with orders of $50+. They are not famous for fast shipping so if you cutting it too short for a date or deadline, keep that in mind…

A total of 43 listings are available. They are slow to remove sold-out/out-of-stock items, so they don’t disappear from that listing immediately after they sell out…
The official Olympus Outlet Store has been refilled! As of the time of writing, the number of offered items have increased to 32! The recent turnaround of items going in and out of stock got my short-term memory confused, so I don’t know which ones are the new additions…
The action continues at the Olympus Outlet Store with items going in and out of stock.
