In-progress now is updating the Holiday Shopping Situation Room. I am removing both expired offers and also offers that lingered there since Cyber Monday. The idea is now that the Black-Cyber week is over, to make this more lightweight and robust.
That updating brought a new discount with it, in addition to the previously mentioned Canon D-Rebel drops, the Nikon mount version of the Tokina Tamron 100mm f2.8 (Nikon) is down to $340 after $20 MIR (mail-in rebate) at Adorama. It was $350 AR before. It also gets 4% promotional rewards, which dropped $0.40 since the price drop, now around $14.40~ to be used in future Adorama purchases.
BLANKET CORRECTION: this is a Tokina lens, not a Tamron lens. Who knows how many other times I wrote this as Tamron 🙂 Thanks to Mike for pointing it out in the comments! I always get Tamron and Tokina confused 🙂 Of all the names, they both picked six-character T-names with the only difference being two characters in each (“mr” vs “ki”).
FYI: It’s a Tokina, not a Tamron …
I am thinking about buying this.
It’s considered a good macro lens for the money. It won’t autofocus with all Nikon bodies though. That’s probably not a problem if you’re using it for Macro work only.

thanks for catching it! I always get Tamron and Tokina confused 🙂 Of all the names, they both picked six-character T-names with the only difference being two characters in each (mr vs ki). It is now corrected!
PS: yes indeed, the price is definitely good for a 100mm f2.8 macro.
