The holy trinity of lenses refers to the trio of wide-angle, standard and telephoto zoom lenses that covers all the bases that a photographer might need in their day-to-day lives. Not just any lenses, mind, but fast f/2.8 variants for that truly 'pro' feel. But there's no denying that these lenses are on the pricey side. I'm a Nikon Z-series user, and my shopping list was for a top-of-the-line Nikon 14-24mm f/2.8 S, Nikon Z 24-70mm f/2.8 S and Nikon 70-200mm f/2.8 VR S.
I'd long coveted the collection, and on Black Friday, I got them – making a handsome saving had I bought them at any other time of the year. I did have to shop around to get the very best deals though, buying the three lenses from three separate retailers. Here's how I got on…
Totting everything up, I shaved almost £2,000 off the 'was' prices, and while these need to be taken with a pinch of salt to a degree, I certainly saved a few hundred pounds had I bought them a couple of weeks earlier. And I got a free memory card into the bargain!
Competition is fierce, so keep your eyes peeled for the best deals as they pop up over the Black Friday weekend. And remember to look beyond the headline price and check for 'freebies' that sweeten the deal!
