I saved THOUSANDS on the 'Holy Trinity' of Nikon lenses by shopping around on Black Friday

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…
