My 100L gets 2 pts while the 135L gets 8. It does not make sense based on lens age or value.It seems lenses get more love, but the new lenses don't. Oh well, it's their call. I just need to buy more.![]()

I went and looked...how is it that the R is worth more points than either the R6 or the R5?Reviving this thread... Wow! Just found that my R6 is worth 4 CPS points. And so is my 80D!!! Btw, EOS R scores a 5.
Another interesting discovery. The ancient CPS entry fields don't seem to have the ability to screen out bogus serial numbers--at least not immediately. I found this out by accidentally entering my camera's serial number instead of a lens (which I had forgotten to add last year). The site accepted the mismatched serial number and added my points for that lens.
So, it ain't only DPP that could use a refresh.
Cheers!
My new R5 body... 5 points..! That's it... My 300mm f2.8 IS L ...0 My 200mm f1.8 L....... 0 My 20 year old 135mm f2.0 L ...8 points... My much younger 24-70mm f2.8 L, 0 points... Nuts..!I'm sure there is a method to the madness, but the old ef 135mm f/2L is worth 8 points on Canon Pro Services, while the new rf 85mm f/1.2L is worth only 6 points. The ef 24-70mm f/2.8L II is still worth 12 points!
And get this, the "kit" lens rf 24-105mm f/4L IS is worth 8 points...More than the 85mm!
Now, to be sure, this doesn't affect my life in the slightest. I'm just curious.
Insights?
CPS Europe does check serial numbers and they are slow and/or lazy with updating them. I couldn't add my RF100-500 and RF85 f/2. clicking on 'support' leads you to Canon support which will respond with "That's a CPS issue, contact them" and the CPS contact info leads back to regular Canon support[..]Another interesting discovery.
