This has been a long time coming!
Permanent price drops
- Thread starter nonac
- Start date
Kinda wish I held off on the EF 300mm f/2.8L IS II USM, still it was $6247 with my CPS discount so I still am ahead, just not by quite as much

On higher end lenses I believe
I just keep my mouth shut when I see the discount I get and resist the temptation to shout out that it's too good to be true, just in case they decide it is
It's from a brick and mortar authorized dealer here in Edmonton, not online
A wedding photographer I know tipped me off about it

Obviously one of their execs read a couple of recent threads on CR forums, learned that 7 people think Canon is doomed unless they develop sensors with more low ISO DR, talked with the tech guys who said more DR can't be done, then talked with the marketing guys, who pointed out the responses on those CR forum threads about Canon having better lenses, and suggested a lens price drop to entice those 7 people away from jumping ship for SoNikon's DR.

Good competition is always good for the consumer! I hope all the other lens manufacturers keep improving their products and kicking them out at lower prices. It will only force the big boys like Canon to either lower their prices or reduce the quality. I don't see Canon doing the latter.

500$ drop.. wow.. makes me thing about their profit margins.
you know people will always tell you canon can not sell the lenses cheaper because there is so much expensive glass in it and R&D is so expensive.
when others do, it´s because they skimp on glass or R&D.
or maybe, as others think, it´s just that they don´t have such big profit margins.
anyway the 24-70mm f4 now looks like fair deal.

I feel stupid now for ordering the 70-200 f/2.8 IS II USM. It will be here Tuesday. I got the rebate and all, but the street price with the rebate is still $200 less than I paid. I bought it through B&H. Thought I was getting a really good deal. :

Call them after their price drops, see what they say. Maybe you'll get a double dip?

I suppose it couldn't hurt to try.
