	Refurbished EF 35mm f/1.4L II Wide Angle Lens	$1439.20 Sold Out 235 weeks ago

	EF 35mm f/1.4L II Street Price	$1749.00 Deal Expired

The Canon Direct Store has the refurbished EF 35mm f/1.4L II in-stock for only $1439.20. This is the first time we’ve seen a large quantity of this lens in-stock refurbished.

Our readers know that the better deal may be our street price of $1559 brand new from a Canon USA authorized dealer with free shipping, as the Canon Direct Store collects sales tax to most states, but our street price dealer does not.

Please note the price on this stellar lens will increase after Saturday, as this is one of eleven lenses targeted for a price increase.

Last Chance: 4 Canon USA Promotions Expiring Saturday Evening

Posted December 29, 2016 at 10:43 am EDT by CanonPriceWatch. 6 comments.

There are many fantastic and stackable promotions that are set to expire on Saturday, December 31st. We strongly advise you to take advantage of our best-of-the-season street prices from Canon authorized dealers and the bundle deals before you miss out. As a reminder to all, many of our street price dealers are closed on Saturdays, so please enter your orders before tomorrow (Friday) noon to make sure your transactions can be processed in December to take advantage of the above.

Here are the details on what is expiring:

Canon Instant Rebate expires Saturday, December 31st. Canon has “instant rebates” or “instant savings” where the purchase price at the retailer is reduced (no need to mail-in any rebate forms.) The current slate of instant rebates expires on Saturday, December 31st, and we have confirmation they will be partially renewed: there are 11 popular lenses that will see an effective price increase as their instant rebate value is being reduced come January 1st.
Free 13-Month Canon CarePAK Plus expires Saturday, December 31st. Canon has been offering free 13-month CarePAK Plus (an accidental damage warranty) on the purchase of one of eight bodies or nine lenses. The purchases must be made between October 30th and December 31st to qualify for this free warranty (you must register your purchase with Canon within 30 days to activate it.) This promotion, unless renewed by Canon USA, will expire on December 31st. We think there’s a very low chance this promotion will be renewed immediately.
Multi-lens Mail-in Rebate expires Saturday, December 31st. The most popular promotion has been the two-lens mail-in rebate, where you receive up to a $200 mail-in rebate when you purchase two lenses in the same transaction from the same dealer. The current rebate period is scheduled to end on December 31st. This promotion has been renewed repeatedly since it was introduced in March of 2016, but we think this might be the last we’ll see of it — we encourage our readers to take advantage this week before missing out. We haven’t heard of any renewals yet, but of course, this is all up to Canon USA.
PIXMA PRO Printer Mail-in Rebate expires Saturday, December 31st. The current up to $350 mail-in rebate when purchasing a PIXMA PRO printer is scheduled to expire on December 31st. We fully expect Canon USA to renew this, which will reset the eligibility. However retailers commonly stop their bundle deals at the end of a rebate period, so we expect the current live deals to end.

Price Increase Coming on 11 Lenses with Instant Rebate Expiry Sunday

Posted December 27, 2016 at 9:21 pm EDT by CanonPriceWatch. 6 comments.

	EF 24-70mm f/2.8L II USM Street Price	$1699.00 Deal Expired

	EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II USM Street Price	$1679.00 Deal Expired

	EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS II Street Price	$2099.00 Deal Expired

	EF 35mm f/1.4L II Street Price	$1749.00 Deal Expired

We now have confirmation from very reliable sources about an effective price increase coming on 11 Canon lenses this Sunday. The current instant savings will be renewed at a lower value for the below eleven lenses, resulting in an effective price increase. Also scheduled to expire is the Canon mail-in rebate on multiple lenses, unless renewed by Canon USA.

This price increase is expected as lenses are now at their lowest price point of the year (for the holiday season). We expect the the current instant savings to continue to reduce and disappear over the next few rebate periods. Now is the time to take advantage of what is historically the best pricing of the year.

The prices shown below are the CURRENT street prices for lenses, before the increase coming on Sunday. To receive the “net price” after mail-in rebate you must purchase two or more lenses in the same transaction.

EF 16-35mm f/2.8L II USM: current MAP price of $1399, net price of $1299 after the $100 MIR
EF-S 17-55mm f/2.8 IS USM: street price of $749, net price of $699 after the $50 MIR
EF 24-70mm f/2.8L II USM: street price of $1589, net price of $1489 after the $100 MIR
EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM II: street price of $1759, net price of $1659 after the $100 MIR
EF 70-200mm f/4L IS USM: street price of $1029, net price of $929 after the $100 MIR
EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS II: street price of $1769, net price of $1669 after the $100 MIR
EF 35mm f/1.4L II: street price of $1559, net price of $1459 after the $100 MIR
EF 50mm f/1.4 USM: street price of $280, net price of $230 after the $50 MIR
EF 85mm f/1.2L II USM: street price of $1749, net price of $1649 after the $100 MIR
EF 85mm f/1.8 USM: street price of $309, net price of $259 after the $50 MIR
EF 400mm f/5.6L USM: street price of $1089, net price of $989 after the $100 MIR

Also consider the following bundles likely expiring with the instant rebate decrease:

EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II USM + PIXMA PRO-100 for $1649 AR at Adorama
EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS II + PIXMA PRO-100 for $1649 AR at Adorama
