May 31, 2011 at 6:46 am$30-$50? Crap discounts! A real discount is 10-20%! Any dealer will give you that much of a price break to get your business – it’s dog-eat-dog out there.

I admire Canon for that, it is not really easy in Japan the last months.

June 3, 2011 at 1:55 pmCanon lenses are way too expensive for those of us with limited funds—we are after all in a recession, Not even professionals can afford these prices.

June 6, 2011 at 11:03 pmThose price drops if that is what you want to call them, is nothing but a flat out insult to the customer. Some customer appreciation by canon. Whoooopppppiiiii……..Big Deal.

June 10, 2011 at 1:05 amYou jokers … all they are doing are reporting the news. Photography Bay don’t set the prices.
What would you be saying if they didn’t report it? If you were about to purchase one of these lenses then the info is relevant.
Any advertised discounting should be at least 5% but preferably more. As far as Canon goes, they should offer customers who own a number of lenses better discounts. Show some customer loyalty.

June 10, 2011 at 7:40 amAgreed crzzzr! Stop winging about recession. Recession does not only stop at your door! If you cannot afford it, work harder… or don’t buy it. Just because you NEED it but cannot AFFORD it does not mean Canon has to lower their prices just to satisfy your NEED.
Randy says
June 10, 2011 at 9:04 amIf a price drops and no one buys or cares, is it really a price drop?
johnny says
June 10, 2011 at 9:58 amSuch a drop that when you pay the tax on it, its back to the same price if not more. When lenses cast as much a camera or more, there has to be something wrong.
Wally says
June 10, 2011 at 10:39 amNot enough for me to buy another lens. It must be some type of joke.
