Double Dips: 135mm f/2.0L for $889, 200mm f/2.8L II for $719 at B&H


More double-dip deals! B&H Photo Video has the Canon EF 135mm f/2.0L USM for $889.00, after a $100 mail-in rebate. This ties for the cheapest price that we’ve seen in over five years; the last time it sold for this price was a one-week sale November 2012. You’ll see this price at checkout.

B&H Photo Video has the Canon EF 200mm f/2.8L II USM for $719.00, after a $50 mail-in rebate. You also get 4% rewards with this purchase. This is the cheapest price that we’ve seen in over 4 years, since May 2009. You’ll see this price at checkout.

These are the latest in a series of double-dip deals, where stores discount by the amount of the mail-in rebate, effectively doubling it. As with all double-dip deals this price won’t last more than a few hours. We’re still waiting for a 85L, 100L Macro, or 70-200 II double-dip.
