Winter 2012 Rebate Extended?

[Arkarch]

I noticed that "Instant Savings" on several Canon Lenses on the BH Photo site has been bumped to Feb 4, 2012.

The main Canon site still shows January 7.

Nooooooo! I was waiting to sell my new 50mm f/1.8

The 50 1.8 is still showing Jan 7.

The ones I checked were the EF 16-35, EF 70-200 2.8 (IS and non-IS), and the EF 135 - and there are likely many others - with Instant Savings on the Feb 4, 2012 date. Maybe a smaller or different lineup?

Cool. I want to get $100 for it, but when it's for sale for $105, it's a hard sale

I personally would recommend just holding onto it.

I sold my first nifty fifty for about $70 a year ago, and recently re-purchased another. All my other lenses are L or Zeiss, but the nifty fifty is just so small and inexpensive, I rarely see any reason to not have it with me.

This is going to make it even harder to resist.
