I noticed that a lot of L lenses had a price jump at B&H this weekend. Some of them jumped up 200 bucks. Anyone know what the deal is? I know prices increase every year, but it seems like an odd time and a higher price increase than normal.

They just dropped the price on several non-L lenses. Maybe Sigma kicking them in the nuts is having a positive effect on some overpriced Canon glass.

IMHO canon just has a 30+% unneeded markup. Funny thing is I'm actually happy with the 989 price of the 135 f2. Well it was 989 now its 1089 I like where you're going with that. Prices are outta control. 1479 for the 35mm 1.4 is just stupid. 5DIII, 24L f/1.4 II, 70-200L f/2.8 IS II,

And 1749 for the 24L. I like to spend money, dont get me wrong; but Id rather spend it on my other hobby at this point. Which is firearms and hunting.
