Amazon is discounting the popular Nanuk 950 Protective Rolling Case — these great alternatives to the Pelican 1610/1614. They are highly touted for their easy-to-use latches, and are slightly more affordable than their Pelican equivalents.
The Nanuk 950 Rolling Hard Case (Graphite, No Foam) is $147.90 and the Nanuk 950 Rolling Case (Black, Foam Dividers) is now $236.60, a 15% discount (limited time and stock only).
Today’s B&H DealZone (one-day deal) features a hot deal on the Impact Luxbanx Duo Small Strip Softbox (12 x 36″). It’s only $54.95 (reg. $190), and includes a free fabric grid ($67.95 value)!
The Luxbanx Duo Small Strip Softbox from Impact works with strobe, LED, and fluorescent lights. The long, narrow shape of the softbox make it ideal for side-lighting and hair-lighting in portraiture, tabletop work, and up-lighting backgrounds.
Our two great “add a battery” deals are still live — while quantities last. Via our street price program, get a great deal on a brand new RF lens with no sales tax collected by the authorized Canon dealer — you save $150-$200 vs. the advertised price. You can then also add a genuine Canon LP-E6N battery (a $63 value) for only $39 to the lens purchase!
These lenses are brand new with a 1-year Canon USA warranty and free shipping.
Amazon is usually a great bellwether for the stock and popularity of new equipment, as they give a detailed shipping estimate. They’re now showing that new orders for the EOS R6 (at $2499.00) “usually ship within 1-2 months”. The specific delivery estimates depend on location, and range from late-September to mid-October.
This implies that a second shipment of R6 is not expected until late-September, with a third in October, and dealers are still unsure if the second shipment will have enough bodies to cover all existing orders.
This is likely a better situation than the EOS R5 which is now showing no delivery estimate (was previously 2-5 weeks). It may be months before we see that camera in-stock and available.
There’s currently a major Canon EF-EOS R adapter shortage — but some affordable 3rd party alternatives are making their way to market. K&F Concept via Amazon has the K&F Concept Lens Mount Adapter for EF Lens to EOS R Camera Body for only $31.99. This is sold by K&F Concept and shipped by Amazon.
They indicate this adapter is made with a copper aluminum alloy, and supports full manual control, manual focusing, aperture priority, and infinity focus. A limited quantity is available.
At this great price you could buy one of these adapters plus a Canon adapter (when back in-stock at $99), and still be less than the $165 current asking price.
NOTE: This adapter doesn’t seem to support auto-focus, which isn’t very clear from the description. Auto-focus adapters are going for $49, $57, $58, or $76, with mixed reviews. Luckily everything (including the K&F Concept adapter) are all “Free Return”, so you can buy and try them with little risk.
Today’s B&H DealZone (one-day deal) features several nice deals. The Sirui T-1204SK Carbon Fiber Tripod with G-10KX Ball Head (and detachable monopod) is only $149.90, a 50% savings from regular price. The Datacolor SpyderX Elite Colorimeter is discounted $100 to $169.99.
If you’re trying to find that elusive, out-of-stock, EOS R6 body-only, note that you can split a kit to get it for as low as $2534!
First, start with the EOS R6 with RF 24-105mm f/4-7.1 IS STM — our street price is $2749 (limited stock left). Alternatively, B&H and Adorama are showing stock at $2799.
The included RF 24-105 STM lens is fantastic and regularly retails for $399, but you can very easily sell the lens. For example, used dealer mpb.com is currently offering $215 for the lens, and they pay for shipping. This brings the cost of acquiring the kit pretty close to the body-only price with zero risk (but be sure to lock in your quote now before the used offers change).
As an added bonus, if you do not own RF lenses you can use the RF 24-105 STM first to test out the camera (especially given that the EF-EOS R mount adapters are in such short supply), then sell it.
