Authorized dealer BuyDig via eBay has the Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM II for $1899.00 (after a $300 mail-in rebate). This is the cheapest price that we’ve ever seen for this lens!
UPDATE: This deal is expired. It is still live at B&H (discount at checkout), but probably will not last long there either.
Finally, this is the double-dip on the 70-200 II that we’ve been waiting for! As with all previous double-dip deals this price is only temporary — we expect it to be sold out by tonight or early tomorrow.
Double-dip deals are ones where the stores discount by the amount of the mail-in rebate (in this case, $300), effectively doubling the value. BuyDig is an authorized dealer and eligible for the $300 rebate. They also had a sale on the 100L Macro last week.
If you’re afraid about the mail-in rebate — we’ve heard from many readers that they received their rebates less than 3 weeks after making the claim.
Canon Mail-in-Rebates… LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL!!
They are much improved and using a new processor; people have already gotten their rebates within 2-3 weeks. http://www.canonpricewatch.com/blog/2013/10/canon-mail-in-rebates-received-in-less-than-3-weeks/

So does the double dip mean it’s 1600 after rebate?
No, it is $1899 after rebate.
no
$2199 – $300 mail-in rebate = $1899.
Other retailers are selling it for $2499 – $300 mail-in rebate = $2199.
I didn’t see anything about a rebate on the ebay site.
They are a Canon authorized retailer, you get your receipt from BuyDig, and thus are eligible for the $300 mail-in rebate. In their 100L macro sale last week, they mentioned it in the post title. They seem to have omitted it here.

What’s the reputation of Buy Dig? U.S. Warranty w their lenses?
Yes, they are an authorized dealer. US warranty.
Been waiting for this one for a while! This site’s notification system is wonderful!
I’m glad you were able to grab the deal! 🙂
Just placed the order, can’t wait

UPDATE: This deal (at BuyDig) is expired. It is still live at B&H (discount at checkout), but probably will not last long there either.
