Deal Archives: Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM II




100-400mm II $1699, 70-200mm II $1699, Grey Market via eBay


Get It Digital (also known as AllNewShop) is featuring great prices on two popular grey market lenses. They have the Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM II for $1699.00, and the Canon EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS II for $1699.00.

As usual, beware and decline an upsell call, but our readers report that they are a reliable dealer. This is likely grey market, and a Canon USA warranty is not guaranteed (but historically honored). If grey market is not for you, please consider street prices (brand new from authorized Canon USA dealers) of $1769.00 and $1929.00 for the two lenses.

Canon USA Increases Instant Rebates — But Free CarePAK Expired


Canon USA renewed their instant rebates on bodies and lenses. They also slightly increased their instant rebate on 19 lenses and 4 flashes. Unfortunately, the very popular CarePAK Promotion has expired.

Also included in the instant rebate renewal is the EOS-1D X Mark II pre-order promotion, get a free CFast card when you pre-order the EOS-1D X Mark II at Amazon, B&H or Adorama.

Here are the lenses which had their instant rebates increased (and thus a corresponding street price drop). Please note, these new prices are not eligible for the CarePAK promotion. If you’d like CarePAK, you please fill out the street price form and mention this — you only have a few hours left to order!

You can check out the entire list of new rebates at Adorama or B&H.



Lens Instant Rebates and CarePAK Plus Scheduled to Expire Saturday


Two of the current Canon promotions are scheduled to expire on Saturday, February 27th, unless renewed by Canon USA.

The current slate of lens instant rebates are scheduled to expire on Saturday. Many of these rebates were initiated prior to the holiday buying season in October 2015. Also scheduled to expire on Saturday (unless renewed) is the very popular CarePAK PLUS promotion. When you purchase selected Canon bodies or lenses from a Canon USA authorized dealer, you receive a free “CarePAK PLUS“, an extended 13-month warranty covering accidental damage from drops or spills. As our street prices come from Canon USA authorized dealers (except where explicitly indicated), they are eligible for this extended warranty.
