EF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM Standard Zoom Lens

Amazon has made the next move in this veritable Canon price war — they have the Canon EF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM for $699.99. This is the absolute cheapest price we’ve seen the lens-only from an authorized retailer — a $400 price drop. (Even the unauthorized dealers are only selling for slightly below this, and they sell split kits!)

What is going on with all of these deals? We’ve been studying Canon prices for six years now and have never seen this many deals. Has Canon abandoned price control?

Here’s a graph of the EF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM price history from authorized dealers. Notice how extreme Amazon’s latest price drop is.

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.

B&H Photo Video just started a fantastic deal on the EOS 6D with 24-105 Kit and a PIXMA PRO-100 for $1999.00, after a $400 mail-in rebate. Price seen at checkout. I’m told the 6D Kit deal is very limited quantity. Other authorized dealers are selling the camera kit alone for $2399 — this is a incredible price.

UPDATE: This deal got a lot hotter — they added a 4% reward. This takes the price down to (net) $1903. Incredible!
