Those are pretty reasonable deals from arguably the most reputable dealer in the US. I don't see the harm in reporting decent (albeit not great) deals. Especially when many of us are always on the lookout for our next piece of glass.

Good for you. I got the 85mm f/1.2L II for $1,799 earlier this year, and you don't see me griping about losing confidence in this forum or B&H. It's economics 101... Prices change on a daily basis.
Again, those are fairly reasonable prices, and I'm glad they were posted. Be glad you already got a good deal and leave it at that.

Not one single person is listening to what I am saying. I GOT the lower price. My lens was paid for at the lower price & will arrive Thursday. I found it offensive that the price was marked up, hyped as lower, my post pointing this out was blocked. Do you all work for cr rumors & B&H? Or is there someone else that finds raising prices and advertising it as the best deal offensive?

UUUmmm, OOOOk, doesn't seem to be blocked now 
Take a Panadol, then your new 24-70f/2.8 L IS II and head out & take some Images, you'll feel a lot better then, it's a great Lens & you got it for about $500 less than I did, well done.
I dont work for CR or B&H, otherwise I'de have got a better deal when I bought my 24-70.

BH Photo guarantee price 30 days after purchase. You just need to contact customer service and they'll refund the different for you.DCM1024 said:
I bought the 6D and it drops $100 the next day. BHphoto gave me the refund $100. Then 3 days later, it drops another $50. I contact BH again, and they gave me back $50. No question ask.

I do not think anybody is getting the point the OP is trying to make.
He bought it on X for US$ 2049
Then a couple of days later CR runs a campaign promoting savings at B&H for the same lens at US$ 2099.
He is questioning the integrity of the promotion.

I see your point. I've been watching prices and hoped to see a price below $2,049 for the 24-70 f2.8 II when I read today's headline. But, the 24-70 isn't on today's list of discounted lenses. That said, $2,099 is still a decent price.
Congrats on a great price for a great lens! Enjoy.

It's also possible that, since the prices change daily, the price was higher than $2099--say $2149--between the time you bought your lens and when you saw the ad for it.DCM1024 said:
I do understand your point, though. If it were true that a merchant purposely tries to fool you into thinking you were getting a better price than their regular price, I find that to be deceptive.
There's a mattress store, Sleepy's, that says (or used to say), "We'll beat our competitor's price, or your mattress is free!" Just think about that for about 0.1 seconds.
It's insulting that they would even try to lure in customers that way.

I'm not even insinuating that the price was marked up before it was marked down.Albi86 said:
I'm saying it could be natural price fluctuation upwards, followed by a markdown.
Here's one simple scenario: a lot of these retailers have web crawlers that are constantly keeping track of what competitors' prices are. It could be that they saw a competitor had slashed their price on this lens, so they followed suit.
