Canon has started a new mail-in rebate: receive a rebate of up to $200 off twenty different L-lenses, on purchases at authorized dealers between March 2nd to March 29th.

We list the lenses, the rebate amount, and after-rebate prices below. Some of the lenses (in bold) are great deals as the price is close to the very low prices that we saw during the holiday season!
