I told my wife I bought a new 70-200. She wasn't pleased, but we maintain separate finances...probably will make it easier for hen she kicks my ass out.

MyDealsAndCoupons dot com has a 1.6% cashback for B&H photo purchases. That's about $31.58 for this 70-200 L II purchase, pocket change I know but would buy you a nice lunch.

Also, I've never used the site so I don't know how well it works out but couldn't hurt if you are getting lens anyway... right? How I miss the Bing rebates!

Got it. Thanks Henry! Can't wait for Friday. I'm off work that day, so it will work out perfect. I won't be around during the day next week, which is why I needed to make sure of the delivery date

My lens is sitting in the Dallas UPS facility. It is 4.5 hours away. I bet it sits there until Friday, the expected delivery date. I am like a kid waiting for a Red Rider BB gun on Christmas!!

Dont you just hate that?

I've so many times ordered something only for it to arrive on Friday morning, only after the truck leaves the depot, and I have to wait until Monday for delivery. They wont let me even go to the depot, which is 5 minutes from my house, and pick it up. It has to be delivered. It drives me crazy!!

Does anyone know if other lenses are cheaper via a special link versus the listed price ($1974 vs. $2074 for the 70-200)? (I'm not on facebook and looking at the 24 ts-e)

(I posted a list of eligible products at my blog if you are looking for such a thing.)

You're talking about two different prices. The rebate price is good till Jan. 7 but the link ONLY price is good only till Dec. 2.

Does the extra $100 expire Dec 1st 11:59PM , or is it good all through Dec 2nd? I've never really paid attention to those sorts of promotions and want to make sure that I don't accidentally miss it if I'm able to pick one up.

I got my 70-200/2.8 IS II today. It's a little larger than the old one, but not obviously much different other than the rubber ring. I'm wondering if the price will drop even more next year or not. Maybe I should buy a second copy now?

I also obtained the 1.4x III. For some reason I am more interested in that than the 70-200.

(Edit to 1.4x III.)

Let me know what you think about the 1.4x II as I am thinking about it as well. I mean why not, I have been on a B&H spending frenzy this month so why stop! Just don't tell the wife!!

Sorry that was a typo. I have two 1.4x IIs, well three including one with damage.

I'm assuming that is better.

I just looked at the invoice of my 70-200 F/2.8 IS II. I paid $2,299 on 3/8/11. Ouch!
At least I got a good deal on the 50L f/1.2, although I missed the UPS man today.

I was walking around the house an hour ago shooting with the 50 1.2, it's a great lens for sure. The deal just sweetened it even more.
