Canon Lens Instant Savings (38 options; Expire 1/2/16)

The current iteration of the Canon Lens Instant Savings expires 1/2/16. A total of 38 items are participating at the aforelinked B&H Photo page, 34 lenses and 4 flashes. There are too many to list here individually. Many of them have promotional rewards as well. Some of these offers may not return after 1/2/16, but I have no way of knowing for certain either way.

UPDATE: I forgot to mention, running in parallel, also with a 1/2/16 expiration date are the instant savings on Canon DSLRs. These are not combined purchase discounts, just discounts on the DSLR prices.

Tamron 24-70/2.8 Di VC USD with 10% rewards for $1100 after $200 MIR (C/N/A)

You can get the Tamron 24-70mm f2.8 Di VC USD SP for $1100 after a $200 mail-in rebate, but you also get 10% Promotional Rewards (~$130 or $110~ if the MIR price is not included in the promotional rewards) at B&H Photo in the Canon, Nikon and Sony-Alpha-Dyxum-Maxxum-Dzixum-Mfoxum SLR mounts.

Canon 5DS R body with $360 rewards and Next Day for $3600

This DSLR is at the Union of the Two Offer Towers (but in a good way), it is eligible for 10% promotional rewards (a juicy $360) and Free NEXT DAY delivery (cut-off is Wedn 4pm ET). It is the Canon 5DS R body only going for its usual price of $3600 at B&H Photo… If you don’t need next day delivery, you can swap that for the Audio-Technica AT8024 Stereo/Mono Microphone and still get the 10% promotional rewards and the Corel software kit (AfterShot P2, PSP X7, etc) for $3600 at Adorama… It’s good to have choices!…

Sigma 50mm f1.4 DG ART w/Next Day for $850 (C/N/A/Si)

The Sigma 200-500mm f2.8 / 400-1000mm f5.6 eats pancake lenses for breakfast when it’s on a diet. Its regular lunch are professional SLR f2.8 zoom lenses. And for dinner, it eats the whole Tokina line-up ;-). The lens goes for $26,000 in the Canon, Nikon and Sigma SLR mounts. At the moment, this lens earns 4% promotional rewards at Adorama (all three mounts) and B&H Photo (Canon gets 4%, other two get 2%)… 4% of $26,000 is $1040 in promotional rewards…

Tamron 16-300mm Di VC PZD and 10% Rewards for $500 after $130 MIR (C/N/A)

Late start today, so we have a 15 yard penalty, repeat first down, and for the first down play, we have a special rebate and reward play, from the special playbook. I’m not even sure if the previous sentence makes sense, so let’s pretend I didn’t write it and move on…

The Tamron 16-300mm f3.5-6.3 Di II VC PZD is at a confluence of deals. It has two Tamron mail-in rebates totaling $130 back via MIR, along with 10% promotional rewards. As far as I can tell, the rewards are on the purchase price, not the after rebate price. So you can get this lens for $500 after $130 MIR plus $63 promotional rewards (or $50 in the worst case scenario) at B&H Photo in the Canon and Nikon and Sony SLR mounts. The Sony is not stabilized (no VC). Offer ends 12/24/15.

15% off Refurbished Canon Lenses and Flashes

There is a big burst of Holiday Specials at the official Canon USA store. This includes a 15% sale on refurbished Lenses with a 1-year warranty (68 options but many sold out already), and Flashes (5 options, all in-stock). The sale is shown in red ink, no coupon is needed.

I am highlighting some of the offers that are in-stock as of the time of writing in some of the posts below, but I can’t post about every single item – the Canon line-up is huge.

In parallel, you may also notice the offer below running over there. If you make a qualifying purchase of $500+ at the official Canon Outlet store, you will receive $50 in Canon eCash to use in future purchase. These are promotional rewards, not a gift card, so it has limitations and expiration. Details over there. Here’s the annotated banner from over there promoting it:

Refurbished Canon D-Rebel T5i with 18-55 IS STM and 1-Yr Warranty for $400

One of the rules of thumb of camera gear is that if you are going to go for an older model, might as well try to get it in refurbished condition, so you can save even more. Especially when it comes with a one year manufacturer warranty. Which brings us to the refurbished Canon D-Rebel T5i with 18-55 IS STM going for $400 with free shipping and a 1-yr warranty from the official Canon store… This is part of their refurbished DSLR sale
