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!)
