Don’t miss this opportunity — B&H Photo Video has the Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM II for $1899.00 (after a $300 mail-in rebate). This is the cheapest price that we’ve ever seen for this lens.

You see a discounted price of $2199 during checkout. After a $300 mail-in rebate (which our readers report takes less than 3 weeks), and $88 in B&H rewards, your net is $1811.

These deals come rarely, perhaps once a year — this is the right time to buy. See our price history graph below. In the very unlikely event that prices do drop further within 30 days, B&H will price adjust. This covers you past Black Friday and half of December.

They started the sale last night and in 20 hours they’ve sold over 180 bodies. At this price, it is a fantastic deal for a great first camera, or an affordable upgrade from the Rebel line-up.

Amazing deal. B&H Photo Video matched the deal on the Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM II: they have it for $1899.00 (after a $300 mail-in rebate). The discount shows up at checkout. They’re also giving a 4% reward. Your net ends up around $1811. This is the cheapest price we’ve ever seen for this lens.

This price will not last long at all.

UPDATE: Adorama has now matched this deal.

Double-dip deals are ones where the stores discount by the amount of the mail-in rebate (in this case, $300), effectively doubling the value. B&H is one of the best camera retailers around and is obviously eligible for the $300 rebate.

Authorized dealer BuyDig via eBay has the Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM II for $1899.00 (after a $300 mail-in rebate). This is the cheapest price that we’ve ever seen for this lens!

UPDATE: This deal is expired. It is still live at B&H (discount at checkout), but probably will not last long there either.

Finally, this is the double-dip on the 70-200 II that we’ve been waiting for! As with all previous double-dip deals this price is only temporary — we expect it to be sold out by tonight or early tomorrow.

Double-dip deals are ones where the stores discount by the amount of the mail-in rebate (in this case, $300), effectively doubling the value. BuyDig is an authorized dealer and eligible for the $300 rebate. They also had a sale on the 100L Macro last week.

If you’re afraid about the mail-in rebate — we’ve heard from many readers that they received their rebates less than 3 weeks after making the claim.

B&H Photo Video and Adorama both have the Canon EF 85mm f/1.8 USM for $334.99. Other than a one-day sale in May, this is the cheapest price that we’ve seen for this lens since January of 2009. Both also offer a 4% reward. You see the discount at checkout.

This lens is very popular — a perfect focal length for portraits — and is a good affordable option.
