Lowest Prices Ever

...Should there be eight exclamation points at the end of that title?

But my contacts at B&H Photo tell me these actually are the lowest prices on these items they've ever offered. (It's possible you might be able to find them advertised for even less, but then you wouldn't be dealing with B&H Photo. They clearly label anything that's gray market ("Imported"), they never bait-and-switch, they never sell open-box as new, their delivery is quick and efficient, and they offer generous, no-hassle returns. Dealing with B&H is as safe as mail-order gets.)

I think these deals are just for today? Not sure. On to the news:

Sony A9 body, ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS OFF (lowest price ever)

Canon 6D Mark II, $500 off and a grip for free (lowest price ever)

Canon EF 16–35mm ƒ/2.8 III wide angle zoom, $300 off. This deal ends at the end of the day (11:59 p.m. EST) on Wednesday.

Canon EOS 5D Mark IV, $500 off (lowest price ever)

Sony A7RIII, $400 off (lowest price ever)

Older Sony A7RII, only $1,598, (lowest price ever) (42 MP and IBIS...no, Mike. Down boy.)

Canon 24–70mm ƒ/2.8 II normal zoom (if you haven't seen Roger's teardown of this lens, check it out. He concluded, "Would I get one? Of course—I’m a resolution freak, a gear-head, and I don’t have a 24–70. I’ve just examined the highest resolving zoom lens I’ve ever tested and found it’s also built and designed superbly. I can’t walk away from that combination.")

Canon 100–400mm ƒ/4.5–5.6 IS II, $400 off

Canon EOS 5D Mark IV with 24–70mm ƒ/4, $650 off (lowest price ever. Also comes with an extra battery, the BG-E20 battery grip, a SanDisk 64 GB Extreme Pro memory card, and a shoulder bag, all thrown in to sweeten the deal.)

A few other things are on sale, but those are the big deals. Go nuts! (But careful, don't spend the rent money.)

Featured Comments from:

Geoff Wittig: "If you've ever lusted after Canon's 16–35mm ƒ/2.8L III, just buy it. I can't praise it highly enough. I wasn't much of a wide angle user previously, tending to favor ~70–120 mm equivalent or so, but this lens has changed the way I see. Build quality is fabulous, handling is impeccable, and it's sharp edge to edge even wide open. Distortion is trivial, especially for this focal length range. It's much, much better than versions I and II."

Michael Perini: "I would second Geoff's comment about Canon's 16–35mm ƒ/2.8 III. I bought it and the new 24–70 ƒ/2.8—they are about as good as lenses get. Not only are they dead sharp, they both focus nearly instantly. But more than that, they create images that have a 'rightness' and depth about them. They are both better than most primes. I also own the 17mm T/S which I thought was in a league of its own—it now has company."

Oskar Ojala: "I paid nearly a grand more for my Sony A7RII when I bought it. Tells a lot about the camera market today. I still use it as my main camera, several times a week, and it was the mirrorless that made me completely give up on DSLRs. Yes, it has some quirks, but so do all cameras, and I get results consistently, so I'm not looking for a new camera right now (although the raw speed of the A9 is tempting...). And 42 megapixels might be too much, but it still looks stunning even if I need to crop."

B&H just....well, they just ROCK. They also have a very knowledgeable staff for their various departments.

Regarding the Canon 5DIV: While I haven't shot with one, I've had a chance to edit and play with some 5DIV files from the Bay Area professional real-estate photographer who has very kindly been allowing me to shadow him, Peter Lyons. Needless to say, I was very, very impressed with the image quality and color of the 5DIV's files. Having shot with Canon for a very long time, I know that system well, and the Canon 5DIV is...impressive. Canon's legendary "color science" is all there, too, and the 5DIV also has remarkably accurate auto-white balance.

Those that have thinking of upgrading their Canon DSLRs to the 5DIV, at these prices, I would go for it. You will not be disappointed.

And remember to use Mike's B&H affiliate links! ;-)

Roger Cicala: "But is it a practical lens for you? Well, if you’re a working pro or a very serious (and well-healed) amateur ..."
Loved that typo; only a well-healed photographer would invite such punishment to his already battered wallet!
