Boycott Canon! I don't care what kind of sale Canon has. I won't buy their system until they release the hold on third party lenses. Switching to Sony + iPhone in the meantime.

Good luck with that.Boycott Canon! I don't care what kind of sale Canon has. I won't buy their system until they release the hold on third party lenses. Switching to Sony + iPhone in the meantime.

I remind everyone that the market always sets the price eventually. Clearly the market was telling Canon that the 100 RF Macro was overpriced, so they had to adjust the price. It has happened before with select EF lenses (Most notably the EF 24, 28 and 35 non-L lenses) and used to happen all the time with bodies. Pandemic-related shortages skewed the market for the last few years, but eventually we will get back to normal. But, don't count on any across the board reductions, especially on popular items like the 100-500. The market has already spoken there.

I think you're joking... The one lens that makes me a little envious of Sony shooters is that new 24-70 f2.8 Mk II. So small. So light. So sharp.Boycott Canon!

I got a September offer in my country and got 14-35 (1959->1469 euros) and 100-400 (785->589 euros) No complain.Canon Europe: what about you???
But not (yet?) in France, and certainly not for so many items!I got a September offer in my country and got 14-35 (1959->1469 euros) and 100-400 (785->589 euros) No complain.
They may make similar offers elsewhere...
I intend to seriously boycott them! I have about 10 RF lenses (more than I can handle) and getting more would be very bad for my wallet, unreasonable and it would cause confusion when going on vacation Plus they already fight for a place in front of my R5Boycott Canon!

In Germany, it's worse with the RF24-105mm F4 L.Similarly, the market clearly indicated that the 24-105L was underpriced and thus Canon increased the price on that and it’s now going for around $200 more than initially introduced at.
Leica, here we come...
In Germany, it's worse with the RF24-105mm F4 L.
It started out at 1.199 €, but was available for 999 € as a kit lens and it was paired with all cameras: R, RP, R6/ R5. With cash back, you were able to get it for 899 € sometimes (or in my case 799 € due to a special Rabatte of the seller).
At the worst point of the pandemic related shortages, it sold for 1.599 € - 1.699 €. It was then advertised as "on sale with great savings" at 1.499 €. Currently, the price has dropped to 1.449 - 1.499 € but it is still a huge increase imho.
I came across this today: https://www.fredmiranda.com/forum/topic/1757213/2#16059736Hubris fading after all about that 100mm L Macro. Overpriced with useless features SA control and Focus shift. Funniest thing is used RF 100mm L Macros are selling for above $1100 on B&H itself.
Interesting!I came across this today: https://www.fredmiranda.com/forum/topic/1757213/2#16059736
It has a workaround for eliminating the focus shift at non-macro magnifications.
Thanks for sharing. That plus the $400 rebate made me take another look at the RF 100 Macro.I came across this today: https://www.fredmiranda.com/forum/topic/1757213/2#16059736
