My Favorite Photography Deals of the Holiday Weekend

By Spencer Cox 15 Comments
Published On November 25, 2022

There are lots of great Black Friday deals still left for photographers that have carried over past Cyber Monday. From sales on Nikon F-mount lenses to a good deal on Topaz software, here are some of the ones that stand out to me the most.

Note: Many of the deals I listed over the weekend have now expired. Some are still around; any that remain live, I’ve kept below. FYI, many of the following sales have already passed the originally-planned expiration date, so I don’t know how long they’ll stay up. I apologize in advance if the sale is gone by the time you click it.

An Unusual $450 Off a MacBook Pro

Apple’s discounts are generally in the $50-150 range, but they are selling one specific configuration of their excellent late-2020 13″ MacBook Pro (M1 chip) for $450 off. It’s the 1 TB version with 16 GB of RAM in space gray, which normally costs $1900 but is $1450 today. The deal keeps getting pulled and then re-enabled each time I check on B&H. Hard to say when it will expire, but it seems back up for now.

  • Deal here: Apple MacBook Pro (1 TB, 16 GB RAM, space gray)
  • Sale price: $1450, was $1900 (24% off)

Nikon Z5: $1000

The Nikon Z5 has sold at $1000 a few times in the past, but now that camera gear is trending more expensive, it’s exciting to see the deal back. This is a very good full-frame mirrorless camera that punches far above its price tag (which is typically $1400). To put it another way, you’ll end up with better image quality by picking the Nikon Z5 with some great lenses compared to a more expensive camera like the Nikon Z6 II with cheap glass.

  • Deal here: Nikon Z5 from B&H
  • Sale price: $1000, was $1400 (29% off)

Other Nikon cameras that are on sale right now include the Nikon D850, Nikon Z6 II, and Nikon Z7 II. You can see all the Nikon camera sales here.

Nikon DSLR Lens Sales

There are some great sales on Nikon F-mount lenses this year. Probably the best is the Nikon 200-500mm f/5.6E VR for $1060, which is $340 off the usual price of $1400! Libor wrote about this lens not long ago if you missed it. Other discounted lenses include the 500mm f/5.6 PF, 58mm f/1.4, 105mm f/1.4, and our favorite 28mm f/1.4.

  • Deal here: Nikon F-mount lenses
  • Sale price: Up to $500 off

Tons of Canon Lens Sales

Canon’s Black Friday lens sales encompass most of their newest RF-series mirrorless lenses, including the RF 15-35mm f/2.8 ($400 off), RF 105mm f/2.8 Macro ($400 off), RF 15-30mm f/4 ($400 off again). Even some cheap prime lenses are 20-25% off.

  • Deal here: Canon RF lenses
  • Sale price: Up to $400 off

Sony Sales on Cameras and Lenses

Not to be outdone by Nikon and Canon, Sony has some nice sales on their cameras and lenses as well. The Sony 35mm f/1.8 OSS is 21% off at $373, for example. And some of Sony’s steepest deals are for their cameras. The Sony a7R IVA, for example – which was only replaced a few weeks ago by the a7R V – is already $500 off.

  • Deal here: Sony sales
  • Sale price: Up to $500 off

Fuji Joins the Party

There are some great Fuji sales this year as well. One of the best is a whopping $800 off Fuji’s GFX 50S II, making it just $3200! For a medium format camera as good as the 50S II, $3200 is a fantastic price. But there are also sales on Fuji’s lenses, both APS-C and medium format, so there’s something for almost every Fuji user.

  • Deal here: Fuji sales
  • Sale price: Up to $800 off

Topaz Software $300 Off

Topaz makes some of the best software today for upsampling photos, sharpening, and noise reduction. Their four-piece bundle (Photo AI, DeNoise AI, Gigapixel, and Sharpen AI) has a heavy discount for Black Friday and Cyber Monday.

  • Deal here: Topaz software bundle
  • Sale price: $159, was $459 (65% off)

Other Discounts

These are just some of the many Black Friday and Cyber Monday discounts that stood out to me for photographers. You can see more detailed lists below:

  • All B&H “Cyber Week” discounts

About Spencer Cox

I'm Spencer Cox, a landscape photographer based in Colorado. I started writing for Photography Life a decade ago, and now I run the website in collaboration with Nasim. I've used nearly every digital camera system under the sun, but for my personal work, I love the slow-paced nature of large format film. You can see more at my personal website and my not-exactly-active Instagram page.

Yes, I bought me a Z5 w/ the 35/1.8! $995 is real deal price. It’s tank-like & solid.

Fun to be using a fast prime again.

Happy new year to me.

Finally. Finally, I decided yesterday to go for it and buy a D850. I would’ve loved to buy through your affiliates, but alas (although happily for me) I live in Canada! It’s the most I’ve ever spent on a single piece of kit: that warranty is very important to me. I love. Love, my D700. I’ll never, ever replace it, but after five years I reason and hope that Nikon has the manufacture of this camera down perfectly. I’m generally not an excitable type, but I admit this has me full of anticipation : I had to share! Frankly, I hope that my technique and vision will eventually be worthy.

Vusi, that’s something to be very excited about! In my opinion, the D850 is the best DSLR ever made. I hope you like it as much as I do.

It arrived yesterday. A gem. No, a tour de force. Here’s to a few months of postgraduate reading and learning through experimentation, in exposure, tripod technique, Nikon system DNA, post-production on huge files, etc.. What fun…and, oh, my aching head!
I won’t really have a chance, though, to try to make it sing for a couple of weeks. I can hardly wait…

It’s high on the list, I already have all the sample photos. But I want to do the review the right way, which means also testing it with the 1.4x and 2x teleconverters. Just finding the best copies of the TCs is complex enough that it will take some time.

Don’t forget about the $1000 savings on the Z7. It’s now running at $1796.95 which to me is a steal considering it has the same sensor as the Z7 II. If you don’t need an additional card slot with the improved AF then it’s something to seriously consider.

Thanks, Michael! That’s a good one. I bought the Nikon Z7, still my primary Z camera, on the day it was announced at about double that price…

I should put our link to it if anyone’s interested: www.bhphotovideo.com/c/pro…05/SID/DFF

Regarding B&H, if you obtain a payboo card through them, you effectively eliminate the sales tax in most but not all states in the United States. For me that is an additional 9%, the amount of sales tax in my state.

It’s a great system assuming that you always pay the card back on time. I have one and have saved a lot with it. But the interest rates are very high, so it’s not a card you can ever miss a payment on, or pay any less than the full balance each month.

I took advantage of Nikon’s sale and the advice Spencer gave. All told I saved $800 by purchasing a Z5 body, an FTZ adaptor, and a 24-70 f/2.8 S lens to get myself in the Nikon full-frame ecosystem. Next on my wish list is the 105 f/2.8…
