	Art 35mm f/1.4 DG HSM for Canon Wide Angle Lens	$769.99 Sold Out

	Art 50mm f/1.4 DG HSM for Canon Standard Lens	$799.99 Sold Out

UPDATE: Sold out 17 minutes after our post. That was fast… Sigma Art 35mm for Nikon $769 still available. They also have the Sigma Art 50mm for Canon for $799.

Authorized Sigma dealer Cameraland via eBay has the Sigma Art 35mm f/1.4 DG HSM for Canon for $769.99. They have exactly three copies available for sale.

Cameraland via eBay is an authorized Sigma dealer, and thus this comes with a four-year Sigma USA warranty. Free shipping, and tax only to NY state. Compare with our street price of $809 or regular price of $899!

Note their listing has condition “New (other)” and says “We had an in store demo and these were shown and put back in the box.” Readers who have previously purchased from Cameraland in similar circumstances received a lens absolutely brand new, and were extremely pleased with the purchase. “Open-box” items are generally exempt from Minimum Advertised Pricing policies…

More great deals on high-speed Lexar SD cards.

128GB 1000x UHS-II/U3 SDXC for $67.99 at Amazon, B&H
64GB 1000x UHS-II/U3 SDXC for $38.99 at Amazon, B&H

This deal is only a few dollars more than an Amazon Lightning Deal which sold out in only two hours, last month.

These are UHS-II Speed Class 3 cards rated up to 150MB/s read. Note that all Canon cameras at this time don’t support the UHS-II interface, but this card is backwards compatible and will operate as a fast UHS-I card. This is fantastic pricing for a fast card that is future-proof for later camera offerings.

EF 100-400mm (Old Version) for $1299 at Adorama via eBay

EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS USM Telephoto Zoom Lens

$1299.00

Deal Expired

Adorama via eBay is clearing out the Canon EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS USM (old version) for $1299.00.

This is a great price if you’re not interested in shelling out for the new EF 100-400mm II ($2199).

This is also notable as the price of $1299.00 is below Canon’s Minimum Advertised Price of $1499 for this lens. We’re not sure if this is a special exemption or an indication that Canon’s MAP policy is being relaxed.

New EF 50mm f/1.8 STM In Stock and Available to Ship Today

	EF 50mm f/1.8 STM Standard Lens	$125.00 Deal Active

	EF 50mm f/1.8 STM Standard Lens	$125.00 Deal Active

	EF 50mm f/1.8 STM Standard Lens	$125.00 Deal Active

The recently announced Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 STM is now in-stock and available to ship out today at most major stores, including B&H, Adorama, and Amazon.

At a price of only $125.00, we’re extremely impressed with the value they’ve delivered in this refresh. They have resolved all of our biggest gripes about the original version, and it is a great upgrade even if you have the original:

A metal mount, not plastic (the older 50mm f/1.8 Mk I with a metal mount sells for $200+ used!)
A more accurate and quieter STM focusing motor
Rounded aperture blades, and 7 of them, for smoother bokeh
Reduced minimum focusing distance

When readers ask us “I only have a 18-55 kit lens, what’s a good next lens to buy?”, our go-to lenses used to be the 50mm f/1.8 II or 50mm f/1.4 USM. Now it’s this new EF 50mm f/1.8 STM, hands down. It allows an aspiring photographer to experience prime lenses — shooting with wider apertures to achieve shallow depth of field, and moving your feet to re-frame rather than standing and zooming — all without breaking the bank. At $125, a fantastic price point, we’re expecting this lens to be very popular.

EOS Rebel SL1 with 18-55mm Kit (Black) is now $349.99
EOS Rebel SL1 with 18-55mm Kit (White) is now $349.99

They also have the refurbished EOS 6D ($1299.00) and refurbished EOS 5D Mark III ($2199.00), but our readers know that the brand new street prices of $1249 and $2239 are better deals — especially as our street price authorized dealers do not collect tax to most states.

B&H DealZone: Sigma 10-20mm f/4-5.6 EX DC HSM for $269

10-20mm F4-5.6 EX DC HSM for Canon Ultra-Wide Zoom Lens

$269.00

Deal Expired

Today’s B&H DealZone (one-day deal) is the Sigma 10-20mm F4-5.6 EX DC HSM for Canon for only $269.00. This is the lowest price we’ve ever seen (by over $100.) Please note this is a “DC” lens that can only be used on crop-sensor bodies. The price on this lens has dropped significantly since its introduction at $479.

We’re not surprised the Sigma is being cleared out, as the EF-S 10-18mm f/4.5-5.6 IS STM is giving the Sigma a run for its money at only $249 (B&H) after a $50 instant rebate. The Canon lens is a bit shorter on the telephoto end and slightly slower on the wide end, but comes with very handy image-stabilization.

Instant Rebate on Zeiss Lenses for Canon — Up to $300 Off

Posted May 18, 2015 at 11:02 pm EDT by CanonPriceWatch. 1 comment.

In addition to Canon lenses, we track prices on the whole range of third-party lenses. Zeiss kicked off a rare instant rebates on Zeiss lenses — savings range from $100 to $300 on a wide range of Zeiss lenses for Canon EF mount. It appears that everything is discounted except the 55mm Otus.

The discounts we’re seeing here are likely due to continuing strength of the US dollar vs. other currencies. Just as Canon has been forced to lower their prices (using mail-in rebates), no doubt Zeiss and other camera and lens manufacturers are under pressure to do the same.

No street prices available for Zeiss. (At least for now!)
