An unusual deal: BHphoto liquidates outdoor store. 50% off on most stuff!

Share


B&H has decided to pare down our Outdoor Gear lineup (Click here to see all items). This is their text:

We pride ourselves on being experts in the field of anything we sell. We are “The Source” for information and product. We feel that we do not have the expertise to be that source when it comes to Outdoor Gear. What that means is that we are liquidating a lot of our stock at up to 50% off.

There is stuff many photographers could find useful!

Reminder: You get up to $355 free extras at BHphoto (Click here). That’s on top of the regular up to $300 rebates. A couple of examples:
Free case and battery ($160 value) with the A7rII, A7sII, A7II and A7.
Free case, battery, card and Rode mic with the A7sII and 24-70mm f/4.0 kit.
Free case, battery, card and Rode mic with the A7sII and 24-70mm GM f/2.8 kit.

Pierre Paqueton about the new Batis: “aperture is low enough to make it dreamy”

Share

Zeiss Photographer Pierre Paqueton shared a couple of new shots taken with the yet to be announced new Batis tele portrait prime lens. When asked about the lens aperture he did answerthis:

aperture low enough to make it dreamy, and that’s all you need to know 😉

and in a next post:

I know so many of you are very curious as to what the focal length and aperture of the new Batis lens might be. Although, I can’t tell you any specifics, I hope this photo gives an idea of how shallow you can get with the lens. Sharp detail, focus, and Bokeh are 3 main factors for me when creating a shot. And I’m happy to say this lens exceeded my expectations in all 3 categories.

The lens will be announced within 1-2 weeks!
