	Refurbished EF 35mm f/1.4L USM Wide Angle Lens	$879.20 Sold Out 397 weeks ago

	EF 35mm f/1.4L USM Street Price	$1420.00 Deal Expired

Canon USA dropped the price on the EF 35mm f/1.4L USM (old version) — it is now priced for clearout at $1099 from authorized Canon USA dealers. Some dealers are already showing this price, and we expect B&H, Adorama, and Amazon to update shortly. A very limited quantity is available via street price for $1049.

Also consider the Canon Direct Store, which now has the refurbished 35L for $879.20.

The price drop does not surprise us, as this lens has been replaced by the 35mm f/1.4L II (street price of $1675), and also features tough competition from the Sigma Art 35mm f/1.4 (street price of $779).

Canon USA also started $300 instant rebates on the EOS 5Ds and EOS 5Ds R. The advertised prices are now $3399 and $3599 respectively. This is still considerably higher than our street prices of $2949/$3249 from an authorized dealer, or the eBay import deal of $2649/$3049.

Hot, Lowest Yet: 7D Mark II (Import) for $1099, AllNewShop eBay

EOS 7D Mark II Digital SLR Camera

$1099.00

Deal Expired

AllNewShop via eBay has the Canon EOS 7D Mark II for $1099.00. This is the lowest price we’ve seen yet for this camera. This is a grey market import, but the seller indicates that it comes with a 1-year store warranty. Canon USA is historically known to honor the warranty on grey market bodies, but this is at their discretion.

AllNewShop via eBay is another storefront for GetItDigital, they are quite a reliable eBay dealer with 99%+ feedback score. The only complaint that we hear is they will call you and attempt an “upsell”, stay firm and insist they process your order at the $1099 price.

If you’d prefer an authorized dealer, consider the B&H Bundle Deal of the EOS 7D Mark II + PIXMA PRO-100 for $1249 after a $350 mail-in rebate. The B&H deal also includes a free Canon “CarePAK Plus” extended warranty.

	Sports 150-600mm f/5-6.3 DG OS HSM for Canon EF Street Price	$1699.00 Deal Expired

	Contemporary 150-600mm f/5-6.3 DG OS HSM for Canon Street Price	$899.00 Deal Expired

	Art 50mm f/1.4 DG HSM for Canon Street Price	$839.00 Deal Expired

Our street price on the Sigma 150-600mm f/5-6.3 DG OS HSM Sports has now been lowered to $1699. This is the lowest price seen yet for this lens. The “Sports” version of this lens features a much more rugged build quality and a slightly better optical formula, vs. the “Contemporary” lens.

We also now have the Sigma 150-600mm f/5-6.3 DG OS HSM Contemporary back in-stock for ~~$899~~ SOLD OUT. There is limited quality at this price, and this will likely sell out.

Finally, our street price on the Sigma Art 50mm f/1.4 DG HSM has returned. It’s $799 for this very popular lens. Compare with $949 at other authorized dealers.

All street prices are brand new from Sigma USA authorized dealers, and come with free shipping and the 4-year Sigma USA warranty.
