B&H DealZone: Sigma Art 40mm f/1.4 DG HSM for $999 (reg. $1399)


Today’s B&H DealZone (one-day deal) features a $400 discount on the recently available Sigma Art 40mm f/1.4 DG HSM. It’s now $999.00 (save 28% from the regular price of $1399). This is the lowest price we’ve seen yet for this lens! Adorama has also matched this price today.

This lens was first released in December of 2018, so it’s surprising to see such a steep discount already. This deal is today only or until sold out.

B&H Refunds Sales Tax via New “Payboo” Credit Card

B&H has launched a new “Payboo” credit card that lets you save the sales tax on a purchase at B&H: the amount of sales tax paid is instantly credited to your card (as a reward). This could end up being a huge savings (for example, up to 9.9% if you live in Washington state). The card has no annual fee.

To check the reward available to your particular state, take a look at the B&H Payboo page and click “Check Savings”.

We previously wrote about B&H and other dealers now collecting sales tax to an increasing number of states, as a result of the South Dakota v. Wayfair ruling. No doubt this has been affecting sales at these big online dealers, and this new offering from B&H tries to turn the clock back to how out-of-state shopping used to be.

A reminder that our street price options often do not collect tax on items shipped to most states, so always do check in with us prior to a large purchase.



SanDisk Extreme PRO (170 MB/s) 256 GB for $65, 64GB for $19


The memory card sale continues with improved prices on SanDisk Extreme PRO (170 MB/s) SDXC cards at both B&H and Adorama. These are super-fast UHS-I cards (not UHS-II cards), which is great because most Canon cameras don’t take full advantage of UHS-II speed. These cards are rated to a max read speed of 170 MB/s and write of 90 MB/s.

The 256GB card for $64.99 is an especially good deal with a $28 savings (30%) from the regular price of $93.



B&H DealZone: Lowepro PhotoStream RL 150 Roller for $79.95 AR

This roller is designed to hold 1-2 professional DSLR camera bodies, and up to 8 different lenses or speedlights. The dividers can be moved to customize the bag, and a 15″ laptop can be stored in the dedicated hinged compartment. A side tripod mount allows for external transport of a small or medium tripod.



Hot: EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS STM for $149.99 at Target


Target has the Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS STM for $149.99, when you add the item to cart. As Target is an authorized Canon USA dealer, this is the lowest price seen yet from an authorized dealer with a 1-year Canon USA warranty.

This lens is already considered one of the best value lenses in the Canon line-up, and at half price ($150) it is a steal. Unfortunately, Target does collect tax to most states.
