Double Dip Opportunity? 40mm Pancake for $99 AR, 50mm and EOS 6D



Last night, Canon moved from an instant-rebate to a mail-in rebate on certain items. Most retailers have adjusted their prices upwards to mark the ending of the instant rebate, but several eBay stores are a bit tardy in doing so.

UPDATE: As expected, some of the prices have been corrected. Some remain.

There’s a very brief window where you may be able to double-dip the rebate; as long as your invoice date is July 6th, 2014, you will be eligible for the mail-in rebate (on top of an instant rebate price). Yes, purchases at authorized dealers’ eBay stores are eligible for the rebate as the dealer will issue a normal receipt. These prices will likely be corrected later today. Find the rebate form here.

Price Drop: EF 35mm f/2 IS USM for $599


Canon has finally realized that $799 is an unreasonable price for the EF 35mm f/2 IS, and has finally set something more realistic: $599.00 (currently available at B&H or Adorama.) This is the lowest price that we’ve seen for this lens since introduction.

We’re seeing this same price drop also at several other stores. We’re not sure at this point if it’s a permanent price drop or just a $200 instant rebate that started today. The other price drops are the EF 28mm f/2.8 IS (to $549), the EF 24mm f/2.8 IS (to $599), the EF-S 17-55mm f/2.8 IS (to $879), and the EF-S 10-22mm (to $649).

UPDATE: The price for refurbished 17-55mm is now $703.99 and for 10-22mm it is now $519.99. These are always pegged at 80% of new lens MAP, so this means that what we saw is a permanent price drop and not an instant rebate.
