17-40mm F4.0L $699.99 at Henry's

I have been considering the purchase of this lens for some time, particularly once I went full frame. I don't work at this end of the focal length range much but I do know that from time to time it is what I need.

I was pleasantly surprised this week to find that Henry's had a sale on this lens; $699.99 with free shipping (in Canada). I had been monitoring B&H and Adorama both at $839 and even if I could apply for the recently announced $100 mail in rebate, Henry's is still the better buy.

My new lens is on its way and should arrive on Friday.

It's rare that prices here in Canada are better than prices in the US. I'm sure you'll love the lens! I've had the 10-22mm in the past and loved the wide angle shots. Don't have one right now and was considering the 17-40mm.

Are you too far from Toronto to drive to Henry's? There is one on Markham Rd.

Picked up an eos m kit from them at a great price. I was worried at first because I'm in the states but it was here within a couple days and no fees were added.

Also Kennedy in Scarborough and whites road in Pickering. And near oshawa centre in Oshawa.

You'll like it a lot.

I love my 17-40 for landscapes. Stopped down you can't tell the difference between it and the 16-35 f/2.8 that costs twice as much and weighs more too.
