Add EOS R3, RF 100mm, RF Super-Telephotos to Watchlist for Deals

Posted April 17, 2021 at 9:53 am EDT by CanonPriceWatch. 0 comments.

Many readers are asking if we’ll have street price pre-order deals on the new EOS R3 camera and new lenses. We don’t know yet, as it depends on Canon supply and demand.

As always, we’ll give watchlist subscribers first dibs on any deals. If you haven’t yet, please add these items to your personal watchlist to get notified by email when a deal is available.

We’re expecting initial quantities to be limited, as with every other recent Canon release. If getting the lens early is important to you, we recommend a pre-order at one of the major Canon USA dealers. You can always cancel pre-orders closer to the release if other deals become available.

Used Prices are High. Is Now the Time to Sell Your EF-Mount Glass?

Posted April 13, 2021 at 11:25 pm EDT by CanonPriceWatch. 1 comment.

Some readers have noted a lack of EF-mount lens deals lately — it’s because the current prices are horrendous. For example, the EF 100-400mm II is now $2399 and the EF 100mm f/2.8L Macro IS is now $1299. These high prices are likely caused by constrained supply due to the pandemic, as well as a general shift of Canon’s production to RF-mount cameras and lenses.

The higher retail prices are also causing used lens prices to increase, as many photographers are falling back to used dealers and private sales. It is a fantastic time to sell your lightly used EF lenses to a dealer or broker — in many cases, you can get close to the price you paid brand new! For example, KEH is offering ~$650 for a LN- condition EF 100mm f/2.8L Macro IS. Given that savvy CPW readers could have purchased this lens for $550-$650 as recently as 2019, this is a great opportunity to recoup your EF glass investment and fund a shift to mirrorless.

Adorama has significantly improved their used sale and trade-in process with an online form to request a quote. Other great options for selling include KEH and mpb.com — both offer an instant online quote and can send you a prepaid shipping label, to make it easier to ship the lens to them.
