Price Drops Due to New Instant Rebates: 14L II, 24L II, 70-300L

Posted October 4, 2015 at 9:41 am EDT by CanonPriceWatch. 0 comments.

Today is the first day of a new rebate period, and we’ve seen some changes in the pricing landscape. First and foremost, the printer bundle mail-in rebate has now expired. Second, the 1-year free Adobe Creative Cloud promotion also appears to have expired.

Canon started a new instant rebate on four lenses:

$50 Instant Rebate on EF 70-200mm f/4L USM: MAP price of $599
$100 Instant Rebate on EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6L IS USM: Street price of $1169
$100 Instant Rebate on EF 14mm f/2.8L II USM: Street price of $1869
$100 Instant Rebate on EF 24mm f/1.4L II USM: Street price of $1299

Canon also renewed the popular instant rebates on lenses. This new rebate period ends on October 31st, and we don’t expect any price changes before then.

$100 Instant Rebate on EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM II: Street price of $1799
$100 Instant Rebate on EF 24-70mm f/2.8L II USM: Street price of $1549

Starter 2 Filter Set Filter

$149.00

Deal Expired

Today’s B&H DealZone (one-day deal) is the LEE Filters Starter 2-Filter Set for $149.00. This is a $111 savings from a regular price of $260.00. Note that B&H ordering closes at 6:30 PM on Friday.

We’ve mentioned LEE Filters before and we think it’s one of the highest quality and most reliable filter systems out there. This kit is a great way to get started; it gets you the filter holder, two ND grad filters, and various accessories. Be prepared, however, to also purchase adapter rings (sold separately) as well as popular ungraduated NDs such as the LEE Big Stopper.

Hot, New Low: 5D Mark III (Import) for $1899 / $2499 with 24-105L eBay

	EOS 5D Mark III Digital SLR Camera	$1899.00 Deal Expired

	EOS 5D Mark III with EF 24-105L IS Kit Digital SLR Camera	$2499.00 Deal Expired

Hot eBay deal: Get It Digital via eBay has the Canon EOS 5D Mark III for $1899.00, and the Canon EOS 5D Mark III with EF 24-105L IS Kit for $2499.00. These are the lowest prices we’ve seen yet for the 5D Mark III in body-only or kit form!

Get It Digital via eBay is an unauthorized dealer, so this item is likely grey market. As usual, a Canon USA warranty is not guaranteed, but is typically honored by Canon USA anyway. The store provides a 1-year store warranty. Please note the store does try to upsell you to a “USA model”, please stay firm and insist they process your order at the original price.

This is the first unauthorized dealer price drop on the 5D Mark III since March of this year; until this drop the import body price has been pegged at $1999.
