Super Hot: Refurb RF 70-200 ($2064), RF 24-70 ($1758) Still In-Stock

	Refurbished RF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM Telephoto Zoom Lens	$2064.65 Sold Out 233 weeks ago

	Refurbished RF 24-70mm f/2.8L IS USM Standard Zoom Lens	$1758.65 Sold Out 233 weeks ago

We’re surprised to see the refurbished RF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM ($2064.65) and RF 24-70mm f/2.8L IS USM ($1758.65) still in-stock at the Canon Direct Store. This is the first time the lenses have been available refurbished, and there is currently a 15%-off refurbished sale — both lenses have been selling briskly since they were first listed at midnight.

RF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM is now $2064.65
RF 24-70mm f/2.8L IS USM is now $1758.65

Refurbished lenses have a 1-year Canon USA warranty, and L-lenses come with all the expected accessories (caps, hood, and lens pouch) — purchase with confidence. The Canon Direct Store does collect tax, but even when adding tax this is still well below the best historic prices.

We’ve been told in the past that most refurbished lenses are store returns that have been re-qualified by Canon, so it’s likely they’ve built up quite the stockpile of refurbished inventory of these two lenses over the last year. It’s rare that they have so many copies available at once, so this is a great opportunity to buy before these refurbished lenses become scarce (and a game to find in-stock).

Prices Increase (Rebates Expired?), Some Dealers Haven’t Raised Yet

Posted December 1, 2020 at 8:44 am EDT by CanonPriceWatch. 0 comments.

We’re quite shocked to see that as of this morning, the Canon instant rebates (instant savings) have expired across the board. We saw that the previous “Black Friday” rebates were set to expire on November 30th, but it’s generally been Canon’s practice to extend the holiday rebates through the entire holiday season (and often into January), so we didn’t think Canon would actually let the savings expire. But they did.

Either they are trying some new marketing and pricing tactics, or they’re getting hit by the previously reported industry supply chain disruptions.

While B&H and Adorama have already processed the increase, there are a few stragglers who have yet to show the higher prices on a few of the lenses, but we expect this to change later today (take advantage now if you want the old pricing).

RF 24-70mm f/2.8L IS USM for $2199.00 at Amazon
RF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM for $2599.00 at Amazon
RF 50mm F1.2 L USM for $2199.00 at Amazon
RF 85mm f/1.2L USM for $2599.00 at Amazon
EF 16-35mm f/4L IS USM for $999.00 at Amazon

There are also other shifts happening with lens prices at the refurbished store, we’ll report on that later.
