Tamron has announced a very interesting lens: the Tamron 18-400mm f/3.5-6.3 Di II VC HLD is a all-in-one optically stabilized lens designed for crop sensor bodies, at an introductory price of $649.00. The lens is surprisingly compact for its reach, at less than 5″ length (when in the 18mm position.) It is available for pre-order now and has an expected shipping date of July 21st.
Sigma has made two long-awaited lenses available for pre-order. Both are expected to ship (in limited quantities) tomorrow.
First up is the Sigma Art 14mm f/1.8 DG HSM for $1599.00: faster and more affordable than Canon’s own EF 14mm f/2.8L II USM (street price: $1989), this lens is stellar for astrophotography.
Next is the optically stabilized Sigma Art 24-70mm f/2.8 DG OS HSM for $1299.00, which competes head-to-head with the Tamron SP 24-70mm f/2.8 DI VC USD (street price: $999 AR). The lens looks decent in optical tests and we’re eagerly awaiting the real reviews to see how it stacks up vs. the benchmark Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L II USM (street price: $1499).
Based on both historic trends and information from reliable sources, we suspect that Canon lens prices may increase on July 1st. The two major rebate programs are scheduled to expire on July 1st, and we are told they may be renewed at a lower rebate value. For many popular lenses this will translate to a $50 increase in base price and a $50 decrease in mail-in rebate value (when you purchase two or more lenses). In total, this is an up-to $100 increase in net price per lens.
A price increase at this time would not be surprising; historically, it is typical for Canon to increase their prices through the summer months, giving them room to discount for the holiday season. We will update our blog as we learn more before the rebate expiry on July 1st.
If you are interested to “lock-in” at the current prices, please take advantage of our stellar street prices from Canon USA authorized dealers before July 1st, and before the deals and discounts dry up in the hot summer months.
To take advantage of the mail-in rebate and get the lower “net price”, you must purchase TWO items from the below list in the same transaction.
