The recently launched Canon Direct Store refurbished sale has been extremely popular, and many CPW readers are taking advantage of the excellent discounts on refurbished lenses and cameras. The five most sought-after items, each the lowest price seen yet, are:
- RF 100-400mm f/5.6-8 IS USM is now $399.00
- RF 16mm f/2.8 STM is now $179.00
The non-L RF lenses have been the most popular in the sale, with the RF 100-400mm f/5.6-8 IS USM discounted for the very first time (to $399.00 — this lens was recently $650 new, so this is a very strong discount. The RF 16mm f/2.8 STM is also seeing its first-ever refurbished discount to $179.00 — compare with a recent price of $299 new for this lens.
- RF 14-35mm f/4L IS USM is now $999.00
- RF 100mm f/2.8L Macro IS USM is now $899.00
These two RF L-lenses were only recently added to the refurbished store (in February), and we’re already seeing steep price drops of $350 and $270 respectively on them, they are fantastic deals!
- EF 85mm f/1.4L IS USM is now $999.00
The once-popular EF 85mm f/1.4L IS USM is discounted to a clearance-worthy price of $999.00, the first time this lens has dropped below $1000 (compare with a regular price of $1600 new). If you’re still an EF shooter, or okay with an adapter, you can’t beat the value of this lens (at less than half the price of the new RF glass).
