hkhorn10 Member  120 posts Joined Jul 2009 More info | Aug 26, 2009 13:01 | #50 Wow. I don't like the increases. However, I have to think that in this market no company will really benefit by raising their prices in the long run. My guess--and it's pure speculation-- is that we'll see an aggressive rebate program begin soon and last through the holiday buying season that will mitigate some of these newer prices. 50D&Grip | 28-70L F2.8 | 50 F1.8 | 85L F1.2 II| 70-200L F4 IS | 135L F2| SL 430EXII |Photoblog

There are some *steals* out there if you know what you're looking for and how to look. I have only bought a few of my lenses new. Mostly used or refurbished though. There are a lot of good deals out there for those willing to not have shiny new glass, especially if you are willing to drive/wait for it. Brian

That may have a little to do with it with respect to US pricing. They are getting killed by their own strong currency. These lenses are all made in Japan.
