Canon lens rebates

Through July 11, Canon is offering lens rebates. These are instant rebates, not the problematic mail-in-the-card-so-we-can-invent-a-problem kind. You do need to buy US lenses (not “imported”), and that should be your choice at any time, rebate or not.

Many lenses are up for rebates, and my trusted photography vendor is B&H Photo. B&H has the instant rebates online, no hassles there, just the lower price when you buy. I’ve used B&H for many years, and they’ve never let me down.

A few of my favorites are the unique 85/1.2L II and the 50/1.2L. I’d love to own the 200/2L IS some day; its predecessor the 200/1.8 was superb (I used it briefly).

For zooms, the 70-200/2.8L IS and 70-200/4L IS are both excellent, with the f/2.8 version being a little more flexible optically, but the f/4 version being much friendlier to one’s neck. The Canon 24-70/2.8L is an excellent lens optically, if a little dated in ergonomics.

There are also savings up to $300 on EOS 50D and Rebel XS kits.
