UPDATE: SOLD OUT about 15 minutes after our post…
Authorized Canon USA dealer Unique Photo via Amazon is discounting the TS-E 135mm f/4L Macro to only $1500.00 — compare with a regular price of $2199 elsewhere. This is a stunning $700 or 32% discount, and the lowest price seen yet. Unique Photo is an authorized Canon USA dealer, this has a 1-year Canon USA warranty.
At 9:50 PM PST, showing as $2150 with one left, NOT $1500.
Correction: $2,050 not $1,500
The dealer must have fixed it shortly after our post. They probably subscribe to our notifications, just like the rest of you. 🙂
CORRECTION: No, it looks like the (brand new) copy available at $1500 did indeed sell — what they have listed now is a used copy at $2050. Hopefully the $1500 brand new item will ship, maybe that reader will let us know if it did!
It didn’t; they reneged on the sale:

Unique Photo’s shipment arrived today. I’ll have to run the 135mm TS-E through it’s paces, but physically the lens looks good. Thanks for the heads up cpricewatch!
Awesome news. Congrats on the deal!
