BuyDig has the image-stabilized Tamron SP 24-70mm f/2.8 DI VC USD for Canon for $999.00, after a $100 mail-in rebate. BuyDig is an authorized Tamron dealer.
You see a discounted price of $1099 at checkout, $999 after mail-in rebate. This ties for the lowest price we’ve seen for this lens new from an authorized dealer.
Is this lens worth to upgrade from Canon 24-105 f4?
It would be a good upgrade, just remember that you are losing 35mm of zoom in exchange for the extra stop of light.
Darrell, The specs on this lens are excellent. It’s definitely on my wish list.
Got one. I use mine all the time.
Testing the discounted price … it must come up AFTER you enter your payment info. Is that standard procedure with this company? That made me a bit nervous so I did not go further.
Yes, for BuyDig the discount shows up after payment info but prior to order confirmation.
hmm doesn’t seem to show me the discount at checkout. is it over?
Yes, it would appear to be. It’s come back at least once already, so wait a few more days…
This is on my wishlist – can’t believe I missed it. how can I get notified if it comes on sale this low again?
You can setup a price notification to get e-mailed when it’s available for the price you want.
