So what have we bought this Black... Er, Weekend?
- Thread starter Harry Muff
- Start date
I loved the fact that the 3 big Canadian retailers, henrys and vistek used the canon rebate and called it there black Friday lens sale....haha I laugh at there stupidity as they have had that sale on going, but called it there black Friday notes lens deal.

Anyway, they did add savings on top of savings. For example the Sekonic L478D was already down from $399 to $329, and then they dropped it again to $289 for the weekend.
Personally, I picked up a pair of PW Plus X triggers for $50 off.
Then there was the EF 100-400 going for $1399...

Bioshock Infinite from Amazon at 75% off. Didn't want to spend since I had just gotten a 24mm f1.4L and 40mm f2.8 earlier in the month. We don't really have Black Friday or Cyber Monday over here but it seems like local shops want to imitate the US.

This is the lowest price I have ever seen on an EOS M kit + flash and the biggest sensor to have in that price range... just for casual pictures with friends and family.
triggyman, where did you get that?, 280, I'd do one 2
I got it from Don's Photo, that was a web only offer and to avoid shipping & handling costs I opted for in-store pick-up. I expect to pick up the camera this Monday.
I can't seem to find it, I guess it gone, do you still have the link?
Yes you're right - it's not there anymore. It was right next under the EOS 1D Mk III body. Sorry if I caused you to miss the sale because I replied late.

Some one help me I think I may be addicted.
It all started a few weeks before when I bough a 85mmf1.8 on a price drop om Amazon it was going for more used on Ebay even including Sales Tax. Then on Friday I bought a 24mm f2.8 IS Lens. Then on Saturday I bough a few PS3 games.
Then on Sunday after getting the majority of my Christmas shopping completed I said forget this I have wanted a 6D sense September last year and it was 1600 on Amazon.
Today I bough Lightroom 5.
Now I am broke. The A7r will have to wait until next year.

Monday added LR 5 for best deal I could find on the N side of the border and for under $100 I have a basket of lens adapters coming via eBay to use on my new Fuji.
If that's as much fun as I expect I might drop near $300 for the nikon to fuji tilt-shift adapter. No need to wait/pay for the Canon version for the close-up/macro work I want to try with it. I guess I could also build up a little bellows adapter too for ultimate lens control.
I suspect I'm gonna be spending more time crawling around the farm/yard this summer with a tiny & capable APSC macro rig.

I didn't buy any camera-related items in a BF sale this year, but I did buy the newest Olympus OMD and zoom lens and an 4/3-M43 adapter before the Olympus deal expired (it had nothing to do with BF) and, at the opposite end of the price scale, three "legacy" manual lenses (Olympus OM and Minolta) with suitable adapters - just for the heck of it (and dirt cheap for reasons unrelated to BF).

I'm sure to; I seem to have more fun pushing limited gear some days than using the higher end stuff.WPJ said:
Tho I suspect I'll be itching for one of the X-trans sensor'd Fujis in short order vs the Bayer-array bottom-end X-A1 I'm starting with.

Being Norwegian, Black Friday meant nothing to me. But if I'm not mistaken, it is the Friday prior to Thanksgiving. But this year, my mailbox has been jammed with Black Friday offers. Lots of good offers. And on top of that we got Cyber Monday the follow on Monday, which I have never heard of before. Where did that come from?alexanderferdinand said:
