Amazon Double Dip is Back: 24-70mm f/2.8L II USM for $1699!


This deal is back: Amazon has the Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L II USM for $1699.00 (after $300 mail-in rebate).

This ties for the cheapest price that we’ve ever seen for this lens since its introduction. They’re also giving a 2% reward.

This hot deal was featured on Sunday and sold out in less than two hours. It’s back again now, and like last time, this price will not last long at all.

This is the latest in a series of double-dip deals where Amazon discounts the price by the amount of the active mail-in rebate, which effectively doubles the rebate.

UPDATE: As of 9 AM ET, now out of stock. But they’re still taking orders at this price, and will ship when stock is available.

    I got up this morning and I don’t why first thing I did was to reach out my phone to checked my emails. Then I saw this notice and man I immediately went online to place the order. It made late for work for 5 mins, but it’s worth it.

    Man, this is little scary, Is canon coming up with a new version of this lens?

      With only Amazon selling it at this price, I think it’s more that Amazon decided to stop playing by Canon’s pricing rules. 🙂

    This is insane… I thought the Best Buy deal was unbelievable. For that short moment, I kept going there and the price was still the same at $1999. I asked myself… can this be right?

    Now Amazon has done it again TWICE… Is there something we don’t know about? Is there going to be a THIRD whether it be from Amazon or any other authorized dealers?

      Even B and H is selling for that price and also with 4% rewards (unlike Amazons 2%). Something is cooking….

        I don’t have an explanation. This is crazy. You’d think they could have lowered it a few hundred, and not $300, and still get the sales.
