	EF 500mm f/4L IS II USM Street Price	$9000.00 Deal Expired

It’s not really a secret anymore: many photographers have been taking advantage of super-low super-telephoto prices from Canada over the last 6 months, but not for much longer.

In early 2014, a weakening of the Canadian dollar vs. the US dollar meant you could buy super-telephotos from Canada for thousands of dollars less. The best part is: Canadian lenses come with a “Canon USA and Canada” warranty card, and are eligible for warranty service in both countries, making it a great deal.

Unfortunately this party is being shutdown: our friends to the north at Canon Canada have instituted a large price increase — 15% overnight — as well as a new MAP policy on super-telephoto lenses.

Sadly, street prices have already started to rise from lows we saw in March. We know of a few remaining great deals on super-telephotos, but only while quantities last:

EF 500mm f/4L IS II USM for $8999 (compare with $10499)
EF 200-400mm f/4L IS USM Extender 1.4x for $10499 (compare with $11799)

This is the first time we’ve seen these two lenses available refurbished.
