Hot: Refurbished EF Lens Sale — Priced Less Than Used Market!


The Canon Direct Store sale on refurbished EF lenses is extremely hot — several of the lenses are priced below the used market for the lens. Given that refurbished items are inspected and certified by Canon, come with all standard accessories, and include a 1-year Canon USA warranty — this makes it an amazing deal! Check out our refurbished stock tracker for a list of all items available.

We list the best deals below (vs. the price typically seen for an Excellent+ copy in the used market).



Hot: Refurbished Clearance on EF Lenses, Bodies (70-200L III $1399!)

Why is the Refurbished EF 100mm f/2.8L Macro IS ($499) Still In-Stock?


One oddity in the Canon refurb sale is the refurbished EF 100mm f/2.8L Macro IS USM for $499.00, which is strangely still in-stock, despite its hot 57% discount from regular price.

We think this is because Canon has messed up the listing image on their site, showing a picture of the non-L EF 100mm f/2.8 Macro USM instead. (Many readers have emailed us to tell us we’ve made a mistake and that the deal is not for the L-version.)

The deal is indeed for the L-version of the lens: you can confirm this by looking at the title, description, and specifications for the lens. Also contrast with the refurbished non-L lens which has its own (separate) listing. Take advantage of this deal at the Canon Direct Store — which is only available because many don’t realize this error.



Refurb Clearance: EF 11-24L $1499, EF 100L $499, Extenders $199


The Canon Direct Store has discounted a number of EF lenses to clearance prices as part of their newest refurbished sale. The biggest discount is on the EF 11-24mm f/4L USM, which is reduced $1200 to $1499.00.

For the EF 100mm Macro, don’t let the wrong image confuse you — the refurbished listing is indeed for the “L” version, and is available for only $499.00.

Finally, the refurbished EF extenders are a steal at $199 a piece, and well below the used market price.



Super Hot: Refurb Sale on R5 ($2999), R6 ($1299) and Selected Lenses


The Canon Direct Store kicked off yet another hot refurbished sale on refurbished cameras and lenses. Many of these prices are the new lowest prices seen yet. The prices on the EF lenses are particularly hot, and are clearance-level prices! Check out our refurbished stock tracker for a list of all items available. Refurbished items from the Canon Direct Store come with a 1-year Canon USA warranty.
