Well, this is a new one. It looks like Canon has dropped the retail prices on several of its L-series lenses. While it is common to see rebate deals pop up throughout the year, it looks like this is just a straight up drop in pricing on these lens models instead of the periodic price raises we’ve seen in recent years.
Hopefully, these new “regular” prices will stick around permanently.
