Top Black Friday Deals for Filmmakers – Part 2: Lenses, Computers, Laptops, Tablets

Special Deals

by Jakub HanNovember 26^th, 2019

Our second Black Friday deals post features interesting lenses from Canon, FUJIFILM, Olympus, Panasonic, Rokinon, Sigma, and Sony. Additionally there are a couple of Black Friday offers from Apple and one Lenovo laptop. This is the second out of three Black Friday posts. In the next post we will take a look at more filmmaking gear – gimbals, tripods, monitors, etc…

I browsed the current deals on our partners’ websites and have selected the best offers currently available which I think could be interesting for you. Some offers are only available at the American store B&H, others are only available at the European store CVP, and some are available globally with both our partners. By shopping at our partners’ stores, you are supporting cinema5D through our buy links, as we get a small affiliate commission when a purchase is completed.

This year we decided to divide the Black Friday deals into three posts, which we will publish in the next days before Friday November 29:

1. Cameras, Drones, FilmConvert, MZed
2. Lenses, Computers, Laptops, Tablets
3. Gimbals, Tripods, Monitors, Wireless Video

Today’s post is the second out of three and it features only lenses, computers, laptops, and tablets. Most of these posts should be active til Cyber Monday on December 2nd, but there might be exceptions. Please always check the link to see when the deal expires.

Now, let’s take a look at the top Black friday camera deals for filmmakers:
