	SP 24-70mm f/2.8 DI VC USD for Canon Standard Zoom Lens	$1199.00 Sold Out

	70-200mm f/2.8 SP Di VC USD for Canon Telephoto Zoom Lens	$1299.00 Deal Expired

Tamron has started a new $100 mail-in rebate on their very popular optically image-stabilized 24-70mm f/2.8 SP Di VC USD and 70-200mm f/2.8 SP Di VC USD. It makes the current price $1199.00 AR and $1399.00 AR respectively.

Savvy deal-finders (you’re reading this site, that means you!) will wait to see if Cameraland via eBay — they’re a Tamron authorized dealer — offers these lenses for $999 AR and $1199 AR respectively, as they did during the last rebate. Catch is, they only sell a few at this price, if at all. To get e-mailed when they are available, sign-up for a notification by clicking the “Notify” button on the lens pages (24-70 VC, 70-200 VC).

We’ve been asked: there are a few Amazon third-party sellers (notably “Photo4Less”) currently selling the lens for $999, are these eligible for the mail-in rebate rebate? The answer is no, Photo4Less is not an authorized Tamron dealer. However $999 is a pretty good deal if you don’t want to wait for a Cameraland sale and are willing to deal with Photo4Less for warranty. They have two left in-stock at this price.
