These are excellent image-stabilized alternatives to the EF 24-70mm f/2.8L II USM and EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM II if you don’t want to shell out $1699 AR and $1849 AR respectively for the Canon lenses.

There is currently a Tamron mail-in rebate of $100 that expires December 31st, please place your order before Wednesday to take advantage of this mail-in rebate.

Authorized Tamron dealer Cameraland via eBay has the Tamron SP 24-70mm f/2.8 DI VC USD for $949.99 (after a $100 mail-in rebate). This is the lowest price we’ve seen from an authorized dealer. Compare to $1199 after rebate from all other authorized dealers. They have two available at this price.

They also have the Tamron 70-200mm f/2.8 SP Di VC USD for $1179.99 (after $100 mail-in rebate). They also only have two available at this price.

Note their listing has condition “New (other)” and says “We had an in store demo and this was opened and shown at the event. It can pass for new”. Previous readers who have purchased on previous similar occasions received a lens indistinguishable from new and eligible for the mail-in rebate. They seem to have a limited quantity of these “demo” lenses available quite regularly.

Tamron has started a new $100 mail-in rebate on their very popular optically image-stabilized 24-70mm f/2.8 SP Di VC USD and 70-200mm f/2.8 SP Di VC USD. It makes the current price $1199.00 AR and $1399.00 AR respectively.

Savvy deal-finders (you’re reading this site, that means you!) will wait to see if Cameraland via eBay — they’re a Tamron authorized dealer — offers these lenses for $999 AR and $1199 AR respectively, as they did during the last rebate. Catch is, they only sell a few at this price, if at all. To get e-mailed when they are available, sign-up for a notification by clicking the “Notify” button on the lens pages (24-70 VC, 70-200 VC).

We’ve been asked: there are a few Amazon third-party sellers (notably “Photo4Less”) currently selling the lens for $999, are these eligible for the mail-in rebate rebate? The answer is no, Photo4Less is not an authorized Tamron dealer. However $999 is a pretty good deal if you don’t want to wait for a Cameraland sale and are willing to deal with Photo4Less for warranty. They have two left in-stock at this price.
