The Canon Direct Store started a refurbished sale: 15%-off refurbished lenses and flashes.
Many of the desirable items are not in-stock at this time, but we expect at least one restock sometime between now and when the sale ends on January 2nd, 2016. Check out our refurb stock tracker to see all items in-stock, and most importantly, set notifications so you get e-mailed when the item you want is back in-stock before next week! Here are the slim pickings available now:
- EF 200mm f/2L IS USM is now $3875.32 — Only 1 In Stock
- EF 24mm f/2.8 IS USM is now $407.99

Canon Refurbished items come with a 1-year Canon USA warranty. Many readers report they’re indistinguishable from brand new!
Any tips to be able to pick one of the difficult to get items like the 200mm f2. I got the email in time, but just login and checkout process takes a while and by the time, items goes OOS.
Make sure you’re signed up for the item notification, not just the general emails. Practice checking out a few times so you have it streamlined and you can do it in a minute or less. There was only 1 so it sold awfully quick!
Pay via PayPal instead if credit card. It’s by far the fastest way to checkout. Once you have the items in your cart you can complete your checkout in about 15-20 seconds.
