Massive Price Increase Overnight, Some Street Prices Still Available


Canon’s current instant rebate program ended last night with no renewal. As a result we saw a massive price increase — up to $300 on lenses and up to $500 on bodies — including a $400 increase on both the 5D Mark IV and 6D Mark II.

Many stores are closed for the next week, which makes good timing for this price increase. Once the stores re-open, we expect that the instant rebates will come back gradually, in a build-up to the Black Friday sales.

We still have a few street prices available at the “old prices” but only for a limited amount of time.

Street prices still available:




Sigma Art 135mm f/1.8 DG HSM for $1149 at Amazon


Amazon is discounting the Sigma Art 135mm f/1.8 DG HSM for Canon — it is now $1149.00 (compare with a regular price of $1399). They are out-of-stock, but you can backorder at this great price.

The fitted design matches the shape of the camera body, preventing any unwanted movement while mounted on a tripod or other support. The “L” shaped design allows the camera to be mounted in either the horizontal or vertical position. The dovetail fits most Arca-style clamps, enabling quick release from many tripod heads.
