White Box Canon 24-105 f4L IS USM for $606 (Grey/Imp)
The Canon 24-105 f4L IS USM lens is bundled with some of the more advanced Canon DSLR kits. Some enterprising retailers are taking advantage of the kit bundle discounts and they sell the camera and the lens separately, partially passing some of the savings to the lens buyers. Once such case is found in the eBay Deals where eBay seller “Get It Digital” (99.5%) is offering the white-box (does not come in outer retail packaging) Canon 24-105 f4L IS USM lens for $606 with free shipping, with a limit of 3 per customer. Over 1400 lenses got sold so far from this listing per the eBay statistics over there.
NOTE: the eBay listing has no mention of a warranty. It does not state whether the lens was split from a USA warranty kit, or if it was split from an Imported kit. To be on the safe side, assume this is an imported grey-market item. They would have probably charged more if it was a USA warranty lens.
The lens on its own in retail packaging with Canon USA warranty goes for $1000 at authorized Canon dealers (eg Adorama with boatload of free accessories). A white box option (again with no specifics on warranty) goes for $610 by AudioDealz fulfilled by Amazon (with six free lens-related accessories).
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 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.

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:

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…
