Sadly, the Canon Refurbished 20%-off sale has expired without any major restock. If you weren’t lucky enough to get the refurbished lens you were looking for, please note this is the last week for a generous Canon mail-in rebate on brand new lenses: it is currently scheduled to expire on March 28th. As of this time we have not heard any information about a renewal of the rebate.

As a result of the mail-in rebate, there are currently some great street prices on brand new lenses. Purchases must be made before Saturday, March 28th to qualify for the mail-in rebate, you don’t need to mail the form in until the end of April.

One final reminder that the Canon mail-in rebate is scheduled to expire tomorrow, January 31st. We’ve heard that the lens rebates won’t be extended at the same rebate value (although bodies we hear will be).

As it takes a few hours to do the street price process we strongly recommend you confirm your street price order before 1 PM ET today (that’s 3 hours from now). It may be possible, in some cases, to confirm your street price order as late as 11:59 PM tomorrow, but that’s cutting it close!

Check out the street prices. Historically, the Canon holiday mail-in rebates (which these are) result in the lowest prices of the year. You don’t need to receive your purchase before tomorrow, you have until March 2nd to submit the mail-in rebate.

We have been told by a few people that the Canon lens rebates will not be renewed in their current form. We’re told that the next round of rebates will provide smaller rebates on lenses, and only when you buy lenses at the same time as a camera. As a result, we’re expecting the effective prices to go up after Saturday, January 31st, when the current rebate ends.

It’s not too late to take advantage of the street prices — as long as your order is entered by Friday, you can still take advantage of the mail-in rebate, you don’t need to receive your purchase before January 31st. Good thing too, as shipping will likely disrupted for many due to the blizzard on the East Coast! (Please stay safe.)

The current street prices are quite close to the historic lows. For example, the authorized dealer street price on the EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM II ($1849 AR) is close to the historic-low price for the lens. Same as for the EF 24-70mm f/2.8L II USM ($1699 AR). We probably won’t see these prices again until the Holiday 2015 rebates (our guess). Check out the price graph below for the 70-200 II to see the trend. The graph shows the lowest advertised authorized dealer price over time. The best prices occur during the November/December/January season, which we’re just about to exit.
