B&H Update: Canon L Lenses – “limited time” (12/17/12)

Leave a comment

UPDATE: – Canon 5D Mark II bundle for $1599, and very low price on Canon Powershot S100.

  • Canon 5D Mark II Body for $1599.00 – (click to add to your cart to see the discount price) – bundle also includes Pearstone LP-E6 Lithium-Ion Battery Pack (7.4V 1450mAh), Vello BG-C2 Battery Grip for Canon EOS 5D Mark II, SanDisk 16GB CompactFlash Memory Card Extreme 400x UDMA.
    A word about this camera: I shoot the Canon EOS 5D Mark II. Although there is a newer Canon EOS 5D Mark III now, for many photographers the 5D2 will perform extremely well and at barely half the cost. Although I could upgrade to the new 5DIII, I have chosen to stick with the 5DII since it performs so well for me. If you have been waiting to get a full frame Canon camera, this may well be what you have been waiting for!
  • Canon S100 – $249.00 (add to cart to see this price) – this is a fine little “pocketable” camera that has a number of serious camera features. I sometimes use one for informal shooting when I don’t want to take out the full DSLR rig.

A quick note this morning about limited time discounts on four popular Canon L zooms at site-affiliate B&H – including the new 24-70mm f/2.8 L II zoom and the popular 70-200mm f/2.8 L IS and 16-35mm f/2.8 L lenses.

“In cart” means that you need to click the link and then add the item to your cart in order to see the reduced pricing.

As always, see the Deals Page for this and other recent special prices. (Please check the links for full and accurate details from B&H.)

Every so often it seems like time to do a bit of updating around the blog, and I’m embarking on a bit of that work here at the end of the summer season. Some of the changes are minor or even invisible, but you may notice others as you look around the blog – now and during upcoming weeks. One change has been to move some affiliate links to where you can find them a bit more easily in the right sidebar of the blog.

B&H Photo is the well known vendor of photography, video, audio, and many other products – with an impressive storefront in New York City and a great online store that carries just about anything photographic that you might need or want.

Craft And Vision eBooks

Craft & Vision has pioneered the creation and sales of excellent and inexpensive eBooks on a wide range of photographic topics, and written by a group of experienced photographers.

ThinkTank Photo

ThinkTank Photo produces and sells a range of very high quality and innovative photographic bags and related gear. My primary gear bag is their Airport Acceleration bag.

I personally purchase and use products from each of these vendors. I’m grateful when you make purchases through these links since they help support the blog and you get the same prices on great gear. If you find the information at this blog useful, consider making your purchases through these links. Thanks!
