Street Prices on Lenses Still Available"},"content":{"rendered":"

The Canon direct store refurbished sale (15%-off) is now over, without any restock. In the end, less than 20 each of the desirable lenses were sold during the sale. As there are thousands of people waiting for a restock on each of those items, it’s no wonder these sales are nicknamed “lens lotteries”.<\/p>\n

If you’re still looking for a lens before Christmas, we still have great street prices<\/a> available — these are brand new from authorized dealers, should ship Monday, and no tax charged to most states. The mail-in rebate ends on January 3rd; historically the December rebate has been the best rebate of the year. We don’t have any info on a possible extension, but our one data point is last year’s December rebate was not renewed in January.<\/p>\n
