Lensbaby  Updated 12/3!
Lensbaby makes lenses, but their lenses are special and unique and offer cool effects. They are not your standard lenses. The image shown here was taken with a Lensbaby Spark. 

Use my link to access their Ho sale from now until 12/31. During this sale you can get 20% off sitewite. These are fantastic savings!

They haven't announced this, but I am hoping it will be part of the sale. In addition, Lensbaby offers rewards points for discounts on future purchases. Lensbaby is also offering a free online creative conference from December 7-9. Register on their site.
Manfrotto
I cannot say enough good things about Manfrotto. I have 3 of their tripods and would probably own more if I needed them! Manfrotto makes quality products that last and if for some reason you have one that breaks you can buy parts and get it repaired instead of it being a throw-away!

Use my link for now and I will update if they offer any sales. So far I have not seen anything advertised. Even at full price I can't say enough good things about this brand. If you sign up for their newsletter you can get a one time use 20% off coupon.
B&H Photo Video
B&H Photo Video is a retailer for photography and videography gear. They are located in New York and are my "go-to" company for big purchases or specialty items (locally I use KEH for used or Best Buy for new) that I cannot get anywhere but a camera store. They are an authorized retailer for most brands. Their sale for Black Friday typically includes up to 20% off savings. Use this link to visit their site. Follow them on social media for other deals this season.

Tamron is offering $200 off select lenses until Jan 1, 2023. You can find this offer at major retailers like BH Video above and at Tamron's website.

Sony usually offers LOTS of deals on cameras and lenses. Currently the ZV-1 is on sale for $100 off and the Alpha 7R IV is $500 off.  I have the ZV-1 and it is a portable (fits in a pocket), lightweight, but excellent camera. I use it for video mostly. Visit Sony's site here for all their Black Friday deals (as they are announced).

The Rebel series of cameras are great and they are my go-to cameras when teaching a new student who doesn't own a camera yet and needs to borrow one!

Westcott
Westcott is a well-known brand for flashes and lighting. Many of their lighting kits and portable FJ Wireless Flash Kits are on typically on sale "Cyber Week." Currently only the FJ400 is on sale ($74 off) but I am sure other deals are coming soon!

Epson makes lots of office products, but their printers for "creatives" are really good. I use the EcoTank ET-8550 with Epson papers and I love it. The image quality is fantastic. Unfortunately, that printer isn't one of their deals right now, but they do have some items up to 50% off and if you need any ink or toner you can get Free Ground shipping at this link.
Picture
BenQ Newly Updated 11/27!
BenQ makes professional monitors for the photography industry, graphic design and gaming, and more. If you want or need accurate color, then a BenQ monitor should be on your desk. I use a BenQ monitor, mostly for my YouTube video editing, but also for photo editing. I love the size and color can be calibrated so what I see is what I get. They are promising some deals this weekend but I haven't seen the offers yet, at least not for photography. They do have some gaming monitors on sale for up to $150 off. For now, you can still visit their website here.

Update: Follow their BenQ North America Twitter page for their deal of the day. Today's deal is FINALLY for photographers! Get $200 off the SW271C monitor (for photography work and great color accuracy!) with code SW271CBF

Freewell
Freewell offers a magnetic quick-swap filter system for DSLR, drone cameras, GoPros cameras, and more. It makes on-the-go shooting easy and fast! They will hopefully be offering deals on their site and they consistently offer free shipping on orders of $100 or more. Deals coming soon!

SmallRig creates "cages" and grips for cameras that allow the user to configure add-ons to their camera or video setup. Their rigs allow you to add things like monitors, lights, mics, and more to your camera and hold it all easily. Their sales are already starting with "flash sales" and a holiday events at this link.

Spider Holster  Newly Added 11/25!
A holster for those who carry more than one camera! Currently they are offering up to 35% off select holsters and belt systems with code BF22. They also sell organizers, wrist straps, lens covers and more. I have never bought any products from this company. I typically find what I need at other companies such as Peak Design, however, PD is not offering a sale on the majority of their products and this company is offering some significant discounts. Might be worth a look. Their sale runs through 11/29 at their site here.
Aputure Lighting  Newly Added 11/27!
Aputure Lighting is highly recommend by those I know who do studio work, however, I have never purchased one of their products. They are consistently highly rated and their products seem to be a good option at a decent price. Studio lighting is notoriously expensive! They have a sale for up to 45% off through midnight tonight (11/27) at their site shop.aputure.com

The Free Website Guys  Newly Added 11/27!
This a new company that I have not worked with but just send me their promotional info to share. Visit their site here to see what they have to offer. If you decide to sign up using that link it will provide you with 3 extra hours of development time (a $150 value). They offer a free base website built for free, but read their terms carefully for all add-ons and costs. I don't know enough about this company yet to know whether I would recommend them or not, although they were rated a top-rated web development agency for 2022 by Good Firms.
