No surprise — the “triple-stacking” deal on lenses has been extremely popular, with many readers taking advantage of this window to save big on lens purchases. The “triple-stacking” takes advantage of three discounts at the same time:
- Our street price from authorized dealers, which is an average 11% discount across the line of Canon lenses
- A Canon instant rebate program (expiring April 2nd)
- A new mail-in rebate when you purchase two or more lenses at the same time
There have been a lot of great combos created, here are some of the most popular and our favorite ones. You can check here for the full list of eligible lenses.
Please note that all prices shown are after all applicable rebates and are assuming you’re purchasing the combination bundle at once.
- $200 rebate on EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM II + EF 24-70mm f/2.8L II USM: $3229 AR
No surprise that the most popular deal is on the two most popular lenses in the Canon line-up. Your net price for each lens would be $1689 and $1539 respectively, brand new from a Canon USA authorized dealer.
- $125 rebate on EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS II + Extender EF 1.4x III or 2x III: $2214 AR
100-400 II + extenders have been popular. Several readers have opted to purchase a super-telephoto now and add an Extender EF 1.4x III or 2x III. Thanks to the rebate, the net cost of adding an extender to a super-telephoto purchase is $284, which is a steal.
- $200 rebate on EF 16-35mm f/4L IS USM + EF 100mm f/2.8L Macro IS USM: $1499 AR
Two lenses that have been very common in combos have been the EF 16-35mm f/4L IS USM and EF 100mm f/2.8L Macro IS USM. That’s because the $100 mail-in rebate on each is a huge percent-discount (10% and 13% respectively). Together they are a surprisingly common bundle at $1499 AR.
- $100 rebate on EF 50mm f/1.4 USM + EF 85mm f/1.8 USM: $574 AR
The absolute best percentage discount is on these two entry-level primes, pushing both sub-$300. As a result these two have been popular together, or as add-ons to other lenses to make a pair.
- Make your own bundle!
Almost all lenses are offered on this promotion, so many readers are making bundles out of new lenses such as the EF 11-24mm f/4L USM, EF 35mm f/1.4L II or from popular mainstays like the EF 85mm f/1.2L II USM, EF 135mm f/2.0L USM or EF 70-200mm f/4L IS USM. You can also purchase a camera body — including the newly-in-stock EOS 80D — to “activate” the mail-in rebate on a lens, but the camera itself is not eligible for any rebates.
If you are interested in taking advantage of this promotion: Fill out the street price inquiry form on one of the eligible products, and let us know (in the comment) which two items you’re interested in. We’ll help you work through the different options available. There may also be additional discounts for certain combinations, please inquire for more details.
Can you purchase from the Canon refurbished site and use discount?
No. Brand new from Canon USA authorized dealers only.

Zerlinde Balverde Johnson ok let’s calculate the costs ASAP!
I am interested in 24-70 F2.8 II. What can I combine for best. I have 70-200. thinking 85 1.2 ?
If you get more than 2 lenses, do you get rebates for all, or is the rebate limited to 2? I assume you could buy 3 lenses, and thus 3 rebates, but want to make sure as all the examples here show only 2 lens/rebate combos.
Yes, if you buy 3 lenses you get 3 rebates.
