Restock: EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II for $1679 Refurb, or $1799 New


The Canon Direct Store just restocked 20+ copies of the EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II refurbished for $1679.20. Free shipping. This is a very popular refurbished lens that is rarely in-stock at the Canon Direct Store.

Unfortunately, the 10%-off lenses sale just expired on Sunday. As the Canon Direct Store does collect tax to all states, you may also want to consider the street price of $1799 brand new from a Canon USA authorized dealer. It would include both the 1-year Canon USA warranty and the special 13-month accidental damage extended warranty.

70-200 II $1749, 24-105L $579 Grey Market, or $1799/$619 Street Price


AllNewShop via eBay (also known as GetItDigital) is now featuring two excellent grey market lens deals: the Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM II for $1749.99, and the Canon EF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM for $579.95.

This is the first deal we’ve seen from this seller for a while — they were a complete no-show during the 2015 holiday season, and we can’t help but wonder if the on-going litigation is the cause. They are a reliable grey market dealer, for which a Canon USA warranty is not guaranteed.

If you’re concerned about purchasing grey market, for about $40-50 more you can purchase brand new through our street price program from authorized dealers:
