Price Reduction on Canon 70-200mm f/2.8 L IS II

November 11, 2013 G Dan Mitchell Leave a comment

I just received word that the price on the Canon 70-200mm f/2.8 L IS II has been reduced significantly for a limited time by the combination of a sale price, a rebate offer, and a “4% reward” program at site sponsor B&H. These factors reduce your final cost for this $2500 list price lens to $1899 – before the “4% reward” kicks in, and that should be worth another $75+ or so.

Since this is a “hidden” deal, there are a few instructions to follow:

Follow this link. The price will appear as $2499.
Add it to your cart and the price at checkout will be $2199.
A $300 cash-back rebate offer reduces your cost to $1899 – be sure to get the rebate form from the order page.
B&H offers and additional “4% reward” that you can use for other purchases at B&H.

If this is a lens that you have been considering, this might be a great time to pick one up! (Update: B&H sent me an email on the morning of Thursday, 11/14 to say that this is a limited offer and that it ends very soon… so don’t wait too long!)

B&H Update: Canon L Lenses – “limited time” (12/17/12)

December 17, 2012 G Dan Mitchell Leave a comment

UPDATE: – Canon 5D Mark II bundle for $1599, and very low price on Canon Powershot S100.

Canon 5D Mark II Body for $1599.00 – (click to add to your cart to see the discount price) – bundle also includes Pearstone LP-E6 Lithium-Ion Battery Pack (7.4V 1450mAh), Vello BG-C2 Battery Grip for Canon EOS 5D Mark II, SanDisk 16GB CompactFlash Memory Card Extreme 400x UDMA.
A word about this camera: I shoot the Canon EOS 5D Mark II. Although there is a newer Canon EOS 5D Mark III now, for many photographers the 5D2 will perform extremely well and at barely half the cost. Although I could upgrade to the new 5DIII, I have chosen to stick with the 5DII since it performs so well for me. If you have been waiting to get a full frame Canon camera, this may well be what you have been waiting for!
Canon S100 – $249.00 (add to cart to see this price) – this is a fine little “pocketable” camera that has a number of serious camera features. I sometimes use one for informal shooting when I don’t want to take out the full DSLR rig.

A quick note this morning about limited time discounts on four popular Canon L zooms at site-affiliate B&H – including the new 24-70mm f/2.8 L II zoom and the popular 70-200mm f/2.8 L IS and 16-35mm f/2.8 L lenses.

Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L II USM Zoom Lens – (Reg. price $2,299.00) Limited time offer $2049 in cart (correction: previously listed as $1999)
Canon EF 50mm f/1.2 L USM Lens – (Reg. price $1439.00) Limited time offer $1299.00 in cart
