Sigma 24-70mm f2.8 DG OS HSM Art for $999 [C/N]

Hundreds of products are participating in the B&H Photo BILD festivities as we mentioned earlier, and I can’t list or highlight them all, but I am highlighting three name-brand 3rd-party lenses, sadly only made for CaNiKoN. Thankfully adapters/converters/etc exist 🙂

We start with a classic pro zoom, the new condition Sigma 24-70mm f2.8 DG OS HSM Art going for $999 in your choice of Canon EF or Nikon F. This lens is not perfect [then what lens is?], but consider that you can buy TWO of these for the price of ONE Canon/Nikon-made option! Shiguma time, believe it!

Sigma 85mm f1.4 DG HSM ART for $899 [C/N]

And how about a bright prime lens? Also part of the B&H Photo BILD festivities, you can get the new condition Sigma 85mm f1.4 DG HSM Art for $899 in your choice of Canon EF or Nikon F. The Sigma SA is not on sale. Sadly this lens is not made for any other systems. Offer ends Thursday night or earlier if sold out.

Canon Coupon [yes, coupon] at B&H Photo [46 options, EF and RF]

If you love coupons and Canon, you are in luck because B&H Photo is having a Canon Coupon Sale. A total of 46 products are participating. Enter coupon code CANONSAVINGS to get a discount. The discount amount varies by product and product price. Too many products to test and list here individually.

The sale includes both RF (mirrorless) and EF (DSLR) gear).

Adorama appears to be running a similar promotion with coupon code CAJUNEDEAL, this is for example the Canon R7 body only participating in the promotion.

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
