Canon USA Price Increase on RF & EF Lenses, Including RF 100-500

Posted February 1, 2022 at 8:50 am EDT by CanonPriceWatch. 2 comments.

We’ve seen another overnight price increase from Canon USA on many popular Canon RF and EF lenses. Items have gone up across the authorized dealer network, with most items going up between $100 and $200. Included in the price increase is the RF 100-500mm F4-7.1L IS USM, which is seeing its second price increase in five months.

Official communications from Canon to dealers referred to an “ever-changing market situation” driving the price increases — the camera industry continues to be plagued by supply chain and distribution challenges, as well as the increased cost of manufacturing with COVID restrictions and measures in-place.

Refurbished prices for the lenses have also seen a similar price increase. It looks like Amazon is still showing the old prices (for the time being).

RF 100-500mm F4-7.1L IS USM now $2899.00 — a $100 increase
RF 70-200mm f/4L IS USM now $1799.00 — a $200 increase
RF 24-105mm F4 L IS USM now $1299.00 — a $200 increase
RF 600mm F11 IS STM now $799.00 — a $100 increase
RF 800mm F11 DO IS STM now $999.00 — a $100 increase
EF 85mm f/1.8 USM now $499.00 — a $80 increase
EF 35mm f/1.4L II now $1999.00 — a $200 increase
EF 16-35mm f/4L IS USM now $1299.00 — a $200 increase
EF 24-105mm f/4L IS II USM now $1299.00 — a $200 increase
EF 70-200mm f/4L IS II USM now $1499.00 — a $200 increase
EF 200-400mm f/4L IS USM Extender 1.4x now $11999.00 — a $1000 increase

If you thought the Canon Direct Store prices were a bit too good to be just 10%-off — you were right. Their “10%” savings when you used coupon “HOLIDAY19” in-cart wasn’t actually 10%, they were taking off 15% in-cart.

Unfortunately, they have reverted the coupon code to actually be 10% now. The prices are still very good. Congrats if you ordered during the six short hours before they fixed their mistake, you got a steal!
