Welcome to the Camera Dome :)
The new condition Sigma 105mm f2.8 EX DG HSM OS Macro lens is on sale for $569 with free shipping and 4% promotional rewards ($28~ to be used in the future) at B&H Photo in the Canon, Nikon, Sony A, and Sigma systems.
If you prefer free lens-y accessories instead of 4% promotional rewards, you can get them as such at Adorama where they are backordered, but you can still order them if you want to lock the price.
The new condition Phottix Odin TCU TTL Flash Trigger Transmitter for Nikon is on sale for $100 with free expedited shipping at B&H Photo until Thrusday 12/7/17 at 11:59pm ET… This and more are part of their Photo Accessories sale…
CORRECTION: the lens in the two lens kit is the 70-300mm DX, not the old 75-300. I typed 75-300 in every single mention below out of habit 🙂 Thanks to one of our readers for the alert in the comments!
On the “Take Pictures With” two-lens kit front, the new condition Nikon D5600 with the 18-55 and 70-300 lenses is on sale for $797 with free shipping at authorized dealers such as Adorama (with free accessories) and B&H Photo (with free accessories) and Amazon itself (limit 3).
The D5600 body only goes for $650, while the D5600 w/18-55 goes for $750. So you are getting the 70-300 for an extra $50 versus the standard 1-lens kit. This being the holiday season, even if you don’t need the 18-55 and 70-300 for yourself, you can use them in a gift bundle for friends and family, eg bundle them with a Nikon DSLR you don’t need or use often.
The D5600 body only went for $650 in early November as well when I posted the APS-C DSLR price charts.
If you don’t need the new condition version though, you can wait for another manufacturer refurbished sale. It went for $620 at least a couple of times in the past.
PRO TIP: the new WordPress search engine is very fast and efficient, so if you want to look up favorite brands or see previous deals on cameras, use the search box in the blog header or sidebar! It even picks up new posts in almost real time!
Since we mentioned it last week, this offer added a $20 eBay Gift Card to the mix, while keeping the same price…
To the eBAY Deals we go, where the BuyDIG eBAY store is offering it in manufacturer refurbished condition for $400 with free shipping, a $20 eBay Gift Card, and a 90-day Nikon USA warranty. You can buy up to five kits per customer. The red color scheme is sold out, but the standard black color scheme is still available. Over 1500 units have been sold from this listing so far.
The new condition Nikon D3400 two-lens kit with the 18-55 DX VR and 70-300 DX non-VR goes for $500 at authorized dealers with a variety of different freebies offered at each retailer, such as Amazon by Amazon itself (with extras including a 60 inch AB tripod) and Adorama (with extras) and B&H Photo (with extras) and BuyDIG (with extras).
It’s Tamron time! The new condition Tamron SP 28-75mm f/2.8 XR Di LD-IF is on sale for $399 with free shipping and 4% promotional rewards ($16~ to be used in future purchases) at Adorama and also at B&H Photo in the Canon and Nikon at both places. The Pentax K version is not only, while the Sony Alpha is on sale but only at B&H Photo.
The current Zeiss Milvus lens sale for Canon and Nikon SLR systems expires at the very specific time of Thursday 12/1/17 at 4:15pm eastern time at B&H Photo, so this is a Last Call alert if you are interested. The lenses are:
+ Milvus 15mm f2.8 for $2294
+ Milvus 18mm f/2.8 for $1955
+ Milvus 21mm f2.8 for $1568

+ Milvus 100mm f2 for $1568

The Nikon D850 listings (option to pre-order from Amazon itself) disappeared last night at the Amazon website but as of the time of writing, they are pre-orderable again, in the all-encompassing and all-mysterious “temporarily out of stock” status.
The D850 remains in Pre-Order status at B&H Photo and in “Coming Soon” at Adorama.
If you are a fan of fish and eyes, you may also be a fan of fisheye lenses! The Rokinon 12mm f/2.8 ED AS IF NCS UMC Fisheye is on sale for $349 with free expedited shipping and 2% promotional rewards (around $7~) at B&H Photo in the Canon, Nikon and Pentax SLR systems, and the Sony E mirrornyet systems.
There are plenty of Nikon Sales at B&H Photo, including the professional Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 24-70mm f/2.8E ED VR Lens for $2197 with free expedited shipping and 4% promotional rewards which are about $88 to be spent in future purchases at B&H.
A variety of DSLRs and lenses are participating, including the free battery grip promotions for the Nikon D500 kits and the Nikon D810 kits and the Nikon D750 kits.
No free battery grip for the D850. I suspect some photographers would be willing to give Nikon a battery grip for a chance to get the D850 🙂 Speaking of the D850, I just rechecked, it remains in pre-order/backorder at B&H and Adorama, and at the all-encompassing and all-frustrating when you are waiting for a new camera to arrive “temporarily out of stock” at Amazon.
The new condition Sigma 135mm f/1.8 DG HSM Art Lens is bundled with the Sigma USB Dock for $1199 with free expedited shipping until Monday at 11:59pm ET at B&H Photo in your choice of Nikon or Canon systems.

These are a mix of DSLRs, lenses, fixed lens cameras, and in the case of Canon mirrorless too. Click on the “Load More” at the bottom of the Canon listing to see more options!
One of the benefits of having a Canon or Nikon DSLR system is that you have premium Zeiss lenses available for you and a handful of their C/N Milvus primes are available on sale as part of the Black-Cyber Fri-Monday festivities at B&H Photo as follows:

The new condition Nikon D3400 with 18-55 DX VR goes for $400 at authorized dealers, or $500 in the two lens kit. BuyDIG offers the two lens kit in manufacturer refurbished condition for $400.
BUT if you prefer the D3400 with 18-55mm kit instead of the two-lens kit, it goes for $400 in new condition at authorized dealers, or you can get it in manufacturer refurbished condition for $300 with free shipping and a 90-day USA warranty from the BuyDIG eBAY store. Limit five per customer.
The new condition Nikon D3400 two-lens kit with the 18-55 DX VR and 70-300 DX non-VR goes for $500 at authorized dealers as part of the Black Friday festivities, with a variety of freebies at each retailer, such as Adorama and B&H Photo (with extras) and BuyDIG.

The Nikon D500 dropped $100 since our previous check, but not only that, it gained a new friend, the Nikon MB-D17 battery grip for FREE! So $1800 gets you the D7200 body only with said MB-D17 battery grip and freebies that vary by retailer. This time Amazon is offering freebies (128GB Samsung EVO green microSD, bag), along with Adorama and B&H Photo offering their own sets of freebies.
The same promotion is also available for the D500 with 16-80mm kit which goes for $2400. It is interlinked in the listings of all the above retailers.
The Nikon D7500 body only remains at $1250, but having the previous generation model around gave Nikon the flexibility to create a discount since their prices were artificially too close to begin with. To cut a long story short, the Nikon D7200 body only dropped from $1000 to $800 since ten days ago. The other kits get parallel discounts. I don’t mention them all because it would take forever to do these posts.
So the $800 price, or $797 to be more specific, is available by Amazon itself (5% back with Prime VISA, or Discover Q4 cashback; I won’t repeat these in every post because it will take forever to post anything!) and Adorama (with freebies) and B&H Photo (with freebies).
Back to the Gold Box we go where Nikon Df fans (or Df-curious photographers) can get the paperback edition of the “Nikon Df (Expanded Guides)” by Jon Snow (oops, Jon Sparks) for $12.29, with free Prime shipping or with a $25+ order.
This has 240 pages, and it has “Look Inside” activated, so when you click on the main picture in the gallery, it will take you on a wild ride inside the book. This is handy because you can jump all over the book, it can give you a much better feel for the book than just the first few pages that we get with the Kindle sample.
Offer ends on Saturday at 2:45am ET or earlier if sold out.
The two Rokinon lightning deals go live at 7:05pm ET and 8:20pm ET tonight, but there’s more Rokinon action, not a lightning deal but a Black Friday bundle, the Rokinon 24, 35, 50, 85mm T1.5 Cine DS Lens Bundle is discounted to $1649 with free expedited shipping at B&H Photo in the Nikon, Canon, Sony E and M43rds. That’s $412.50 per lens 🙂
The Black Friday Ads have the Nikon D3400 with 18-55 for $400 and the two lens kit (with 70-300 DX) for $500, but you don’t have to wait for the actual Black Friday, the internets have already price-matched those offers as follows:

The Nikon D500 APS-C flagship currently goes for $1800 with a free MB-D17 battery grip in new condition at authorized dealers. But if you want a serious Nikon APS-C DSLR while almost 1/3rd of that price…
… then to the eBay Deals we go, where the BuyDIG eBAY store is offering the manufacturer refurbished Nikon D7200 body only for $650 with free shipping and a 90-day Nikon USA warranty. Limit up to three per customer.
There are a handful of lenses participating in the current Nikon Instant Savings, one of which is the classic prime, the 50mm f1.8G AF-S FX going for $177 with free shipping at authorized dealers.

PS: there are many and more things to post, I really wish I was IBM’s Watson 🙂
Last night when I posted the Nikon D750 Free Battery Grip promotions, Amazon’s humans, hybrids, and bots were asleep and did not have their own offers running.
But as of this recheck, Amazon created its own bundle, it’s a nice one, you get a FREE $80 AmazonBasics Hiker Camera and Laptop Backpack (link is for reference only; you don’t add it to shopping cart separately), and a 128GB Samsung EVO Select microSD (with matching SD adapter included), along of course with the Nikon MB-D16 Multi Battery Power Pack/Grip for D750.
So the bundles are, the Nikon D750 body only with the MB-D16 battery grip, AB Hiker Backpack and 128GB Samsung EVO microSD for $1500 or the Nikon D750 with 24-120 with the same three freebies for $2000.
All items will be included in the shopping cart automatically and priced accordingly. Amazon finally figured out how to do consumer-friendly bundles 🙂
If you pay with an Amazon Chase Prime VISA credit card, or the Amazon house store credit card, you get 5% back as a statement credit, which is a pretty nice amount considering the price of the cameras, $75 for the body only or $100 for the “with 24-120”.
If you are not a Prime member, but you have the Amazon Chase VISA credit card, you get 3% back as a statement credit, still a solid $45 or $60. Or if you have a Discover credit card, they are running 5% caskback promotions for Q4 of 2017. Note however that the maximum is $1500 per credit card for the quarter (October 1st until December 31st).
I suppose that’s one of the benefits of Amazon having its own brands of products like AmazonBasics, they can bundle them up as they please.
These lightning deals expired…
