Canon 100mm f/2.l8 macro for $480 @ newegg

Great price. Amazon is ~$100 more. Most of the used one has been going for around $450-500.

I signed up for Newegg auto notification when I thinking about getting a macro lens. Well, I decided to save some money and got extension tubes instead. Anyway, I thought someone on the forum can benefit.

Thanks...placed my order for one

nice, thanks for the info

Not that it's big, but don't forget the bing cashback for a few more dollars off.

The POTN effect - it's OOS.

I had set up a "Notify Me" request for this lens months ago, and quite honestly forgot about it. But lo and behold, at 11:00 PM last night I got the email that it was in stock. I really expected that Newegg would have updated their price to match the current prices Canon has raised it to ($649), but I was shocked to see that they have it still listed as the OLD price. Without pause, I whipped out my CC and placed the order. USED 100mm macro lenses are going for more in the POTN B&S forum than this thing brand new. Until I have got the magic "shipping notice" email, I won't believe that I got it at that price. Something keeps telling me that they'll figure it out before they ship.

At some point Newegg is going to realize their pricing mistake. They have it priced $150 less that what the current market price.

I just received an email from Newegg ...it shipped at $479.99.. WHEW! I think we're safe David

Hah, looking at the title, I thought this was the new version for few sec...

I was starting to worry. I read your post, but I have not received any emails from them indicating that it has shipped. So I logged on to Newegg's site, and was very happy to see that my order status was "Shipped", and price was still the $479 price. I'm very happy, to say the least

Sorry. It was late at night when I started typing.

dang one good deal.

I was on the fence about buying another prime so I couldn't resist. I did own this one before but sold only to regret the move. Tack sharp with a macro bonus. Now to create a Newegg wish list and wait for an email.

Newegg is selling lenses at great prices. Don't tell anyone

I wouldn't think of telling everyone.... They have to be nearly sold out by now.

You are right. It's Out of Stock already.
