Amazon’s Rebate Double Dip: 17-40L for $639, 135L for $889

	EF 17-40mm f/4L USM Ultra-Wide Zoom Lens	$639.00 Deal Expired

	EF 135mm f/2.0L USM Telephoto Lens	$889.00 Deal Expired

Amazon is creating a double dip of their own: they have the Canon EF 17-40mm f/4L USM for $639.00, and the Canon EF 135mm f/2.0L USM for $889.00, after $100 mail-in rebate. This is after a price drop equal to the value of the rebate ($100), effectively creating a double dip for you. This is the lowest price we’ve seen for both these two lenses in four or five years.

Recall that last week they discounted the 35L by $150 for one day, the amount of the rebate. It seems like they’re going through the lenses one by one and applying the discount. Here’s to hoping that a $300 double-dip on the 24-70 II is next.

Insane: EOS M + 18-55mm + 22mm + 90EX for $399 at BuyDig via eBay

EOS M with 22mm, 18-55mm, and 90EX Kit Mirrorless Camera

$399.00

Deal Expired

This is the mother-of-all EOS M deals: authorized dealer BuyDig via eBay has the Canon EOS M with 22mm, 18-55mm, and 90EX Kit for $399.00.

We’ve previously seen the 22mm kit for $299, and we’ve previously seen the 22mm kit plus 90EX flash for $399, but having the 22mm lens, the (more expensive) 18-55mm lens, and the 90EX flash for $399 is just incredible and insane.

Even in the one day lens firesale the two lenses were $125 and $150 (and quickly sold out). Even with those stunning prices, this deal is like getting an EOS M body for $125, and a free 90EX.

UPDATE: 236 sold in just under 4 hours.
UPDATE 2: 500 sold in 13 hours. Sold out!

EF 50mm f/1.4 USM Standard Lens

$299.99

Deal Expired

BuyDig via eBay has the Canon EF 50mm f/1.4 USM for $299.99. They’re an authorized dealer. This deal ties for the lowest price that we’ve seen in the last five years — since May of 2008.

This is a great price, an additional $40 savings on top of a $60 instant rebate that Canon is running on this lens.

Last time BuyDig via eBay ran this deal (in April of 2013), they sold 200 copies of this lens in a few hours.

New and Refurbished Deals on Super Telephotos

	EF 200-400mm f/4L IS USM Extender 1.4x Telephoto Zoom Lens	$10999.00 Deal Expired

	Refurbished EF 400mm f/2.8L IS II USM Super Telephoto Lens	$369.00 Deal Expired

	Refurbished EF 500mm f/4L IS II USM Super Telephoto Lens	$9499.95 Deal Expired

If you have $10,000 burning a hole in your pocket there are some great opportunities on new and refurbished super telephotos. Profeel via eBay is now in-stock with the Canon EF 200-400mm f/4L IS USM Extender 1.4x for $11299.00. This is one of the cheapest prices that we’ve seen since introduction on this lens.

If you’re looking spend just a little less than that (but not too much less), we saw the introduction of two refurbished lenses this week: Adorama has the Refurbished EF 400mm f/2.8L IS II USM for $9999.00 and the Refubished EF 500mm f/4L IS II USM for $9499.95. This is the first time we’ve seen these two lenses available refurbished.

Best Buy and the Canon Rebate Double-Dip

Posted October 3, 2013 at 11:36 pm EDT by CanonPriceWatch. 18 comments.

Best Buy returned their prices to “normal” today — they’re now featuring the same pre-rebate price as all other stores. We interpret this as confirmation that the low pricing we saw earlier this week was unintended — an accident on Best Buy’s part.

We’re also hearing from our readers that Best Buy has shipped all their orders at the low prices, and the rebate pre-submissions are being accepted on Canon’s rebate portal. Given the approved pre-submissions as well as all the clarifications from Canon’s hotline, we now have pretty good confidence that the double-dip will work out (as long as Canon does their part). Congrats to all who got in on the deal!

Unfortunately, with the price increase, the opportunity to get the 24-70 II for $1699 is over for now. We’re always on the lookout for the next big deal so please subscribe if you haven’t (use the notify button on the main page, or follow us on twitter) and we’ll e-mail you as soon deals happen.
