Grey Market: RF 15-35 f/2.8L IS for $1619 at 6th Ave via eBay


We have a new lowest-seen-yet price for the RF 15-35mm f/2.8L IS USM in the grey market — 6th Ave via eBay is listing the lens for only $1619.00. As they are not an authorized dealer, this may be grey market and a Canon USA warranty cannot be guaranteed.



Used at B&H: RF 100L Macro $849, RF 15-35 $1839, R6 $2124


When B&H checkout re-opens at 7:45 PM ET, you can take advantage of some great used prices. The prices on several used lenses have been lowered to match the reductions in the new gear prices.



Low Stock: RF 100mm f/2.8L IS USM ($999) at Amazon (8 Left)


The most popular deal from the recent Canon price drops has been the RF 100mm f/2.8L Macro IS USM for $999.00, with its massive $400 discount. At least one dealer is running out of stock for this lens, with Amazon is showing that they only have eight copies left in-stock at this time.



Used at KEH: RF 400mm f/2.8L IS USM ($10830), EOS C70 ($4824)


KEH Camera is also newly listing two top-end Canon items in Like New Minus condition, at great prices. You can see our KEH Stock Tracker for all the items in-stock. They offer a 180-day warranty and free shipping on orders over $49.
