OH man..I'm excited...my xmas gift to myself.

I just wasn't going to chance the Canon instant rebates not being extended past EOM....and I may need this lens to try to shoot some stuff for a quick makeshift portfolio so I can apply for volunteer photog at next years JazzFest....so, early xmas present for myself.

I got the great deal at Crutchfields.....no tax...free shipping.

Canon price with rebate = $2099.99....I bought my 5D3 w/kit lens plus the 85mm f/1.8 from Crutchfield, signing up for their rewards points, and an offer at the time for double rewards (you can often find a coupon for this too)....

So, rewards points worth $474 cashed in.....subtracted from the $2099.99, gave me the lens shipped for $1625.99.

Now..can't wait for Friday for it to arrive at my front door to play with this weekend!!!

I'm all Grins!

congrats

that lens is on my 1dx at least half the time - i stow it in my backpack attached that way

if you look on CanonPriceWatch.com at the historical prices, there's a down-spike this time last year - that's when i bought mine B)

+1 on Crutchfield reward points. I still have over 10K rewards points($500ish cash value) with them. Maybe 50L for x-mas.
