Street Prices: 100-400 II $1749, 70-200 II $1749, 24-70 II $1599


We now have street price specials on three popular lenses.

As usual, these prices are for brand new lenses from Canon authorized dealers. Quantities are limited, and these prices are only available while quantities last.




Hot, Grey Market: 24-70mm II $1399, 5D Mark III $1899, AllNewShop


AllNewShop via eBay has two incredibly hot grey market deals. First is the Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L II USM for $1399.00, which is the lowest price seen yet for this lens. They also have the Canon EOS 5D Mark III for $1899.00, which ties for the lowest price yet on this camera.

AllNewShop, also known as GetItDigital, is not an authorized dealer, so this item is grey market. A Canon USA warranty is not guaranteed. Readers report that the warranty has historically been honored by Canon USA, but given recent legal disputes, that may change.

Also beware a potential upsell call (stay firm and insist they process your order at this price). Other than this, they have been a reliable dealer.
