So I decided to do a price comparison between the rebated price of the Canon Lenses with the best prices I know, B&H.

Please note, I'm not advocating one or the other, I simply always do a comparison with B&H before buying camera equipment.

Background: I used the rebated price as listed on the Aden Camera website and compared it to the B&H USA price. (For imported glass please reduce the price by about 3%) Keep in mind the B&H price is in US Dollars and that shipping and duties are not cheap.

The first price is the Aden price, while the second price is the B&H in US Dollars.

Rebate Prices from Sept 1, 2009 - Oct 31, 2009


If I were buying any one of the last 2 lenses maybe I'd think twice and get it shipped, but other than that it looks like these rebates are pretty good.

Amazon is usually cheaper than B&H. Free shipping within the US most of the time too. You just have to find your own way of getting it home.
