Canon “double savings” rebates

Canon has announced rebates on a variety of lenses and flashes. Some are instant rebates. The camera+lens double rebate does require some paperwork.

The rebates double when purchased with a 5D Mark II body or kit, and there are also rebates for EOS 7D systems.

For example, you can get $500 off the outstanding Canon 200mm f/2L IS, or $1000 off when purchased with the Canon 5D Mark II (see yesterday’s on the Canon 200mm f/2L IS).

All the lenses on the rebate list are excellent choices, even the 16-35 (recently reviewed). My top picks as far as outstanding image quality are the 200mm f/2L IS, the 85mm f/1.2L II, 50/1.2L and (if you can get a good sample), the 100mm f/2.8L Macro IS. Those are the lenses I’d buy first when looking for the best. I also like the 15mm f/2.8 fisheye.

Here for your quick-glance convenience is a handy cheat sheet, shamelessly cropped out of the visually heinous marketing poster:
