I’ve been posting to this blog in one form or another for over a half-dozen years now. One side effect of this is that certain articles that made sense when posted years ago end up looking pretty dated today! I found several of those while doing some maintenance on the site today. A couple mentioned my then-current 8MP cropped sensor camera and so forth – gear I haven’t used for years.

With that in mind, I have updated the following posts:

All three are lenses that are core elements of my own kit. (They are also included in the current Canon ‘Instant Rebate” promotion that runs for about another week!)

Quick Reminder: Canon ‘Instant Rebate’ on Many Lenses and Speedlites

Leave a comment

Through early January, Canon has an “instant rebate” promotion on a very large group of lenses and Speedlites, and many of the discounts are unusually large. If you have been waiting to make a Canon lens or Speedlight purchase, this might be a good time to make your move. I have posted a list of eligible products with links to site sponsor B&H. (More offers are listed on the Deals page.) Enjoy!

Special Discount on Canon 16-35mm f/2.8L II at B&H

Leave a comment

“We interrupt our regular broadcast to bring you this special message.” ;-)

I just heard that site sponsor B&H has added its own additional “instant rebate” to Canon’s price reduction on the the 16-35mm f/2.8L II, a very fine lens for those who do low-light ultra-wide photography. When the $170 Canon “instant rebate” is combined with the $50 B&H “instant rebate,” the price of the lens is reduced by $220! If you have been saving up for this lens, this sounds like a great opportunity to me!

You may already be aware of a current Canon “instant rebate” promotion that has reduced prices on a very wide range of Canon lenses and Speedlites, including some very desirable equipment. The range of included products and the size of the discounts are both unusual.

Canon ‘Instant Rebates’ on Lenses and Speedlites

2 Comments

There is a new Canon ‘Instant Rebate’ promotion at site sponsor B&H that features a lot of interesting gear at even lower prices than were available during the instant savings promotion that recently ended. In fact, the selection of lenses and electronic flashes and the size of the discounts both seem unusually large. (It is a bit tough to realize that I just bought a lens at $100 off under the previous offer… and it is now available at $150 off! I’ve heard a rumor that some vendors may honor the more recent pricing if you call them, so I may give that a try.)

Click the link to see a newly updated full list of eligible equipment and read more details – or read on to see a list here on my blog. The promotion runs from November 27 through January 7. (Making your purchase from B&H by clicking through these links helps support the blog and does not change your price. Thanks in advance!)
