New Canon Instant Rebates on Lenses
Posted on 22 October 2009
It looks like new rebates are available on Canon lenses, at least via B&H Photo/Video. Given the recent increases in Canon lens list prices, this may be a good opportunity to save some money on that lens you have been waiting for. The list of eligible lenses includes some very popular ones.
If you are ready to spend over $5000 on a 200mm f/2 lens (!) you can save $500. Many other lenses offer instant rebates in the $100-$150 range with some less-expensive lenses offering smaller rebates. Lenses available under this offer include:
- EF 200mm f/2L IS USM ($500 “instant savings”)
- EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS ($150 “instant savings”)
- EF 70-200mm f/2.8 L (non-IS – $80 “instant savings”)
- EF 70-200mm f/4L IS ($75 “instant savings”)
- EF 70-200mm f/4L (non-IS – $40 “instant savings”)
- EF 24-70mm f/2.8L ($80 “instant savings”)
- EF 16-35mm f/2.8L II ($100 “instant savings”)
- EF 17-40mm f/4L ($50 “instant savings”)
- EF 85mm f/1.2L II ($130 “instant savings”)
- EFS 17-55mm f/2.8 IS ($70 “instant savings”)
- EFS 10-22mm f/3.5-4.5 ($50 “instant savings”)
- EFS 60mm f/2.8 Macro ($30 “instant savings”)

thanks for posting this as I just bought the 17-40 f4L last week, finally, and didn’t see any rebates at the time.
….or maybe not. I guess this is a B&H thing only? Canonusa doesn’t show any lens rebates currently. :(
I think you are going to like that 17-40, especially for stopped down landscape work and double-especially if you shoot full frame. In my view, this lens is at its best when stopped down into the f/11-f/16 range (f/8 and f/22 are possible here, too) on a full-frame body. On FF these apertures are not a problem as far as diffraction blur goes and they improve the performance across the frame to give good corner to corner IQ for such a wide zoom.

Interesting. You can follow links from my site to the B&H list of lenses eligible for the rebate. (I get a small affiliate fee from each sale made through links on this site – and, no, it doesn’t change your purchase price.:-)
