Street Price Drop on Popular Lenses and EOS-1D X Mark II


We now have a newly lowered street prices on a number of popular lenses and the EOS-1D X Mark II. This dealer remains closed until October 14th, but orders placed on or before Wednesday will be eligible for a free upgrade to 3-day expedited shipping (to be shipped out on Monday October 16th.)

The prices below for the lenses are eligible for the stackable Canon mail-in rebate. To receive the net price you must purchase two eligible lenses in the same transaction, then get a mail-in rebate.




Hot: Buy PIXMA-PRO 100 Ink Set, Get $1600 Free 13×19″, 8.5×11″

This ridiculously hot deal is back from the Canon Direct Store. When you buy the 8 CLI-42 (for PIXMA PRO-100) ink tanks in pairs, you get “free gifts” of photo paper, totalling 600 sheets of 13×19″ (in semi-gloss, and pro-lustre), and 160 sheets of 8.5×11″ (in sampler packs).

The individual ink tanks cost $16.99 each. You need to buy two at a time to trigger a “free gift” with every purchase of professional ink above $30. This is a total of $135.92 (split over four separate transactions), not much more expensive than buying the combo kit for $124.99. The (inflated) retail value of all the free paper is $1599.80, which is rather silly.

This is a similar deal to the previous free paper deal. This deal ends on October 15th, or when sold out — this deal has historically sold out very quickly!

They also have a similar deal on PIXMA PRO-10 ink (but not as good as it requires 3 ink purchases to trigger the $30 threshold).

The fine print shows what is included in each “Pro Paper Variety Pack”: 1 Pack of LU-101 13X19 50 Sheets, 2 Packs of SG-201_13x19 50 Sheets and 2 Packs of PRO Paper Sampler Package.
