Good grief! I just took at look at the Canadian prices (Kerrisdale) on the 5D kit minus their rebate. I had no idea they were so high. I think I need to stop complaining about the US 5D pricing now and stop obsessing over this rebate. What an eye-opener!
I did not see any notification anywhere on the website but the Instant Rebate values seem to already be reflected in the US versions of the lenses at B&H. I'm interested in the 10-22mm efs lens and the US version currently shows a price of 639.00 and the imported version is 674.95. Any B&H codes for this lens? (yes, I'm greedy & cheap!)
Just out of curiosity, I just tried the discount code for an 85 1.2 which is $1714. Went to checkout (one click prior to purchasing) and the total remained $1714 so they are not applying the instant rebate on top of their discount code like they did last time. Then again, possibly they haven't reprogrammed that part yet.

You know I would swear that B&H's price for the 16-35 ƒ/2.8L II was around $1369 before the rebate (I looked this morning). Now, after the rebate is in place, the price (pre-bate) is $1449. Sigh.
I've been waiting all week to order the 17-55 IS, and now it's finally on rebate... for $5 more than it is with the B&H code (PS07074YV0W) that's been available all along...
I'll wait a *little* while to see if they magically combine the rebates/discount, but I'm not expecting much. Would've paid for my polarizer, too...
monoprint -- I think that's a mistake on their part. I'd question them about it. Check out Norman Camera...they're showing $12xx after rebate but don't have it in stock.
I bookmarked the prices of several lenses at different vendors prior to the rebate and all of them went up. Most that had $100 rebates went up $40 in price.
I am really happy, coz now I wont be tempted to buy anything during this rebate season... my money stays in my pocket...
