EF 600mm III Pre-Order $12999 or EF 600mm II Street Price $10399


The most pre-ordered lens (from last week’s announcements) is surprisingly the Canon EF 600mm f/4L IS III USM. Several retailers are reporting a higher than expected number of pre-orders placed. Impressively, Canon’s managed to make this new lens almost 2 pounds (22%) lighter than its predecessor.

With a delivery date already pushed into December, we are predicting that supply of this lens will be limited. If you want to receive the lens shortly after release, we recommend a pre-order.

The new lens release has also increased interest in our street price of $10399.00 on the older Canon EF 600mm f/4L IS II USM. Still a great lens and a $2600 savings over the new release. We don’t expect the price on the old lens will decrease, even with the introduction of the new lens.

Hot, Price Mistake! EOS R Mount Adapter with Circular Polarizer, $99


UPDATE: Looks like the price at B&H has been changed back to $299. Amazon is no longer showing the item available for preorder.

The EOS R system will be available for pre-order at midnight tonight, but it looks like there are some price mistakes you can take advantage of right now.

It’s also available for pre-order immediately (no need to wait until midnight). As this is likely a price mistake the orders may get cancelled, but hey, it’s always worth a shot!
