Ya, these refurbished deals are insane. It's a bummer more countries don't get an opportunity to stock and sell this stuff.

There are some bigger than usual discounts in Europe on a few things, but nowhere close to this.

Right, some interesting discounts on LP 6 batteries, Peak Design clips...and (!!!) Leica SLs
Reduced prices on Canon bodies and lenses, but nothing comparable to what's happening in the USA and Canada.
Even European Mountain bike manufaturers offer far more substancial savings to North American customers than to us "poor" Europeans. But I must say that "Black Friday" was no European custom...
Refurbished Canon gear? Doesn't exist here, sadly.
Thank God, there are a few reliable British grey import companies selling at nice prices on the continent too!

Rakuten also has 12% cash back for Canon today, just picked up the RF 24-70 f/2.8. I barely ever use my EF II but that price is too good to pass up.

$999 for the EF TS-E 17mm! Holy crap.
Too good to pass up, even though I've already done too much shopping.
And indeed, 12% with Rakuten makes this pretty sweet.

This could be us, but we‘re in the EU

I see you, 28-70. Unfortunately, my bank account doesn't.

• Canon RF 100mm f/2.8L IS USM Macro $699

Stupid Canon, making me eat my own words. I’ve stated several times that I’m keeping the EF 100/2.8L Macro instead of getting the RF version, in large part due to the focus shift ‘feature’ of the latter. However, this price was a little too tempting.

I’ll try it out, and if I can live with it I’ll keep the RF and sell the EF version. Else, I’ll return the RF version.

I also bought a refurb PowerShot Zoom monocular. For $100, looks like a fun little toy.

I might have been tempted by the 28-70, but it is gone already. Sadness.
Adorama now says Jan 24 for the 10-20…. More sadness

 

[Exploreshootshare]

OOOOOOHHHHH my.... GAS! GAS!

What to get? R5? R6mkii? Ahhhhhhhhh

 

[Exploreshootshare]

Or maybe "just" the R6 as a bridge to a later camera? I'm so confused

I've been trying forever to make a payment on Canon USA's website.

I called my card issuer and PayPal, and both of them confirmed that everything was good on their end. The PayPal agent confirmed that it's Canon USA that is cancelling my order.

Neither does directly entering my credit card information work (I already called my card issuer to double check).

Is anyone else experiencing this problem?

I cannot reach Canon support at (800) 385-2155 and the waiting music plays until Canon just hangs up the call.

That’s a sweet price. As is $1400 for the EF 11-24/4L.

Are you ordering from outside of the USA? I once tried it from outside the US and apparently that is blocked by Canon

I had this problem last year but I think I flagged myself somehow by placing multiple orders. If you see a payment error though don’t keep retrying, they put authorization holds for the full amount on your card. I was trying to buy the 400 f/2.8 and ended up with three $13,000 auth charges on my card, nearly had a heart attack lol

In my case it's the 15-35...the EF 16-35 2.8 has worked great and continues to do so, works with the 5DS and I was just going to make do with it whenever I needed WA - but the price has really come down on the RF version and I've never seen it this low. I'm definitely still keeping the EF version for DSLR use, but as I hate the clunkiness of adapters, this was just a little too good to pass up...

I actually thought about the 28-70 but of course that was gone before I could work that out. Probably for the better TBH...as tempting as it was, I just couldn't quite justify it especially not owning a stabilized RF body.

 

[becceric]

That’s a sweet price. As is $1400 for the EF 11-24/4L.

I just went for the EF 11-24 f/4 L after missing the $1599 price a few weeks ago. I couldn’t believe I’d get a better discount.

I had this problem last year but I think I flagged myself somehow by placing multiple orders.

I called Canon, and the agent put me through to her supervisor since she didn't know what was going on either.

The supervisor then asked their accounting team and told me that their system cancelled the order because I wasn't paying with a card issued by a US-based bank. This was weird, as I had the same issue with Apple before, but I solved that by paying through PayPal (still charging the same non-US credit card). But apparently even with PayPal, Canon still blocks the payment.

So I asked my friend to place an order for me using a US credit card, and the order went through.
