Nikon sale: Camera giant offering discounts of up to $350 on 18 lenses

By Trevor Mogg February 18, 2013

If you’re a US-based owner of a Nikon DSLR and you’ve been thinking about adding some new glass to your camera bag, you’re in luck.

The Japanese camera company is offering discounts of up to $350 on a range of lenses compatible with its DX crop-sensor cameras such as the D7000, D5200 and D90 as well as its professional full-frame snappers like the D3S and D4.

Avid sports or wildlife shooters with cash to splash might want to take a look at the Nikkor 80-400mm f/4.5-5.6D going for $1,369 following a $350 price cut.

A popular professional lens that always gets great reviews is the Nikon AF-S Nikkor 70-200mm f/2.8G ED VR II lens – this one gets a $300 discount, though admittedly at $2,087 it’s still going to be out of the range of most photographers.

So instead, how about the Nikon AF-S Nikkor 50mm f/1.4G lens, a decent prime that opens wide, allowing for low-light shooting and images with beautiful bokeh. Nikon’s $100 discount brings the price of this piece of glass down to $384.

The offer, which covers eighteen lenses and in most cases includes free shipping, lasts until March 2 with stores such as B&H, Adorama and Amazon participating. Too bad it’s not open to Nikon camera owners located outside the US, though I suppose there’s always the used camera store….

Crutchfield sale: Save on Canon, Sony and Nikon mirrorless cameras

Photography can be a fun and even lucrative endeavor, although it also can be exceedingly expensive, with some of the best full-frame cameras on the market easily reaching and even exceeding one or two thousand dollars, and that's without taking into account the cost of the lenses. Luckily, there is a great sale at Crutchfield right now on various cameras and camera kits, and you can actually grab yourself some excellent cameras, whether you're just starting out or want to upgrade to the next level. To that end, we've picked some of our favorite deals below, although it's well worth checking out the full Crutchfield sale that's happenning now.

What you should buy in Crutchfield's camera sale
If you're just starting out with photography and don't want to spend the thousands of dollars you do for the slightly better cameras that you'll find in the mid-range, the Canon EOS R100 is an excellent option, and this kit includes a lens as well. It has a 24.1-megapixel sensor for high-quality photography, a 3-inch screen so you can get a better sense of what you're filming, and, of course, the RF-S 18-45mm f/4.5-6.3 lens that the kit comes with. It can also connect with both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, and all of that comes packaged at , which is $100 off the usual $599 price tag.
