EF 85mm f/1.4L IS Available to Ship Tomorrow via Street Price Program


Our street price dealers — they are Canon USA authorized dealers — have a very limited quantity of the brand new Canon EF 85mm f/1.4L IS USM available to ship out tomorrow, November 10th. The price is $1599.00, and includes free shipping within the continental USA. Most other retailers (B&H, Adorama, and Amazon) are still showing availability dates of next week.

This lens is long-awaited and rumored to be low in supply, so you can be sure it will sell out. Please inquire via the street price form to place an order (while quantities last) that will ship out tomorrow. The lens also comes with a free 13-month CarePAK PLUS extended warranty covering accidental damage.

Hot: 4TB WD Slim USB 3.0 Hard Drive for $79.99 at Best Buy


If you missed the madness earlier this morning, here’s another chance: Best Buy has the WD Easystore 4TB External USB 3.0 Portable Hard Drive for $79.99. This is a great price for a very slim and portable 4TB hard drive.

This great deal is part of Best Buy’s early “Black Friday Ad Deals”. Inside this enclosure is typically a 2.5″ drive, not the 3.5″ drives found inside the larger enclosures.



Daily Deals: Vello Wi-Fi Remote $79.95, Case Logic Bag $19.95


The B&H DealZone has the Vello Extendá Wi-Fi Camera Remote Control for only $79.95. Compare with a regular price of $129. This adapter allows you to remotely control your camera using a laptop or desktop over Wi-Fi. You can also stream images taken directly from your camera to your computer. It supports many recent and old Canon camera models. This product is very similar to the popular CamRanger product but much more affordable.

Adorama continues with their ‘Snapshot’ daily deals: today’s deal is the Case Logic Reflexion DSLR Medium Shoulder Bag (Blue) for $19.99. Compare with a regular price of $50. This is a stylish DSLR shoulder bag with removable camera pod, and it easily transitions into an everyday bag.

Both deals are available today only, until 11:59 PM ET, or sold out.



Hot: 8TB WD External Hard Drive for $129.99 at Best Buy


Best Buy has the WD easystore 8TB External USB 3.0 for only $129.99. This is a terrific price for a 8 TB harddrive. This is available online only and quantity is limited to 1 each.

This is a great price for a standalone WD hard drive. Last time this deal was offered, it was discovered WD was using “Red” hard drives inside the enclosure, and those drives could be easily extracted. The model number has changed slightly, and we don’t know what kind of drive is inside this enclosure, or if they can be easily taken out. If it is still WD Red drives (suitable for NAS), it would be an even better deal as they typically go for about $274.

UPDATE: You may get a message that you can’t add it to cart. Reloading the page and try again. It may take several tries.

The Capture is $55 alone, or $70 with the Pro Pad which enables carrying larger or heavier rigs. Save about 20% vs retail.

The Slide ($50) and Slide Lite ($35) are quick-connecting, versatile, stable, and comfortable pro camera straps, one for DSLRs and one for mirrorless. They’ve been updated for improved comfort, durability, and aesthetics All hardware and materials have been updated for better comfort and smoother operation — enhanced silicon grips and connectors are some of the numerous changes. Save 25-30% vs retail.

Time is limited on this Kickstarter campaign — it expires in about three days. It’s already been funded to over 5 times the goal (now at $514,701), so this project is going ahead! These are great savings vs. retail. For example, the older Capture v2 at B&H is $59.95. This v3 on Kickstarter is $5 less!
