Extra 10% off on refurbished and open-box Pentax and Ricoh

Happy Black Friday Eve y’all!

We start the party with Pentax-Ricoh! The official Ricoh online store is having a black Friday sale until 11/27/23 (or earlier if sold out), you get an extra 10% off on refurbished and open-box products. This includes APS-C, full frame and 645 Pentax cameras along with Ricoh fixed lens cameras. There’s also Pentax lenses and (zooms and primes) and binoculars. Too many to list here individually.

In-Stock Alert: Pentax K-3 III Monochrome Matte Black

According to the Ricoh Imaging online store, the Pentax K-3 III Monochrome Matte Black body only kit is in-stock and ready to ship for $2300. I cannot verify this (meaning, I can’t buy it just to see its shipping status).

Per Ricoh, the Matte Black Edition features a sleek black finish (and $100 more) 🙂

Speaking of in-stock alerts, the Tenderloin Steak sandwich is back in-stock at The Habit Burger Grill 😉

In-Stock Alert: Pentax K-3 Mark III Monochrome for $2200

I don’t know when this was exactly released, but I just now noticed it. Please remember we are no longer on the daily beat of daily photography news and such 🙂

Monochrome is in and Pentax K-mount system fans now have an option to have a monochrome DSLR and they pay DSLR prices, not Leica prices 🙂

In-stock and ready to ship is the Pentax K-III Monochrome DSLR body only going for $2200 at B&H Photo and at Adorama and at the Ricoh Official Shop which offers an optional $184/mo 0% APR financing plan through Affirm.

As usual with financing plans, be sure to check the terms, conditions, restrictions and traps ahead of time!

YES, this is like decaf coffee, it’s more work and more expensive to remove the caffeine / color from the coffee / sensor 😉

PS: the standard color version of the K-3 Mark III is currently on sale for $1700 at B&H Photo and at Adorama

Prime Dayz Pentax Lens Deals: 50/1.8 DA for $92, 55-300/4-5.8 ED WR DA for $230

Pentax fans have a couple of Prime deals, and as of the time of writing, Amazon beats the B&H and Adorama prices, as only Amazon has discounted these two Prime-participating lenses:

+ Pentax HD DA 55-300mm f/4-5.8 ED WR for $230

+ Pentax DA 50mm f1.8 lens for $92

Thursday: IRIX 150/2.8 Macro for $430 [C/N/P], Benro, Case Logic, Amazon One Medical, Etc

Do you love Macro? Because Macro Loves You today in the Thursday 3/2/23 B&H Photo daily deals:

+ IRIX 150mm f/2.8 Macro 1:1 for $430 in Pentax K, Nikon F, Canon EF

+ Benro Aero 2 PRO Carbon Fiber Travel Video Tripod with Twist Locks for $300

Sound is the theme at the Thursday Adorama daily deals with an H&A mic for $35 and Sony LinkBuds for $148.

Amazon loves YOU so much they have bought another company so they can offer the One Medical service for $144 prepaid total for the first 12 months ($12 per month). They have explainers and FAQs there to explain what exactly they offer. The new Amazon CEO (I believe his name is Not Bezos) issued a Welcome Letter to launch the whole thing.

The above is open to all customers regardless of Prime status.

Previously launched but lesser known, for Prime members only, they have the RX Pass prescription service. For $5 per month you can get your prescriptions filled for select generic medications for common ailments, and you only pay $5 per month regardless of how many different participating prescriptions you need filled per month. About 50 common generic prescriptions are covered by this. Generic, thus the $5/month price.

Check the terms, conditions restrictions and all that before jumping in!

Pentax Official Store Trade-In Offer for DSLRs

The official Pentax (okay Ricoh) online store is running a trade-in promotion until 3/31/23. You trade-in a DSLR, and you get trade-in credit towards the purchase of either the K-1 Mark II or the K-3 Mark III, in new condition, at the official Pentax-Ricoh online US store.

Non-Pentax DSLRs get a $100 trade-in credit regardless, while Pentax DSLRs range from $100 to $250 depending on the model you are trading in.

Needless to say, before you send in your camera for a trade-in at these fixed prices, be sure to check its going prices at used marketplaces such as KEH Camera, because you may get more if you sell it on your own. Depending on condition, demand, etc, etc, etc…
