It’s a Great Time to Buy Glass! Both Nikon and Fuji are Offering Steep Lens Rebates

If you’re in the market for some new glass, now is the time to act. Not only is this the time of year that Nikon offers its annual “lens only” rebates — where you can get steep discounts on lenses WITHOUT having to buy a DSLR — but other companies are following suit. Most notably Fuji, who is apparently slaughtering Nikon in this discount battle.

You can head straight over to B&H Photo’s deals on both Nikon and Fuji glass by clicking here or here, respectively. But for those of you who want a bit more info, here’s a quick breakdown of what’s on sale and how much you can expect to save.

As you can see, Fuji’s lens offers are pretty great across the board (no meager “$20 off” savings here), which probably has something to do with why Fuji is “crushing” Nikon in this rebate battle according to Fstoppers. And what’s more, these deals will be available until March 22nd, long after the Nikon deals have gone away.
