The Canon Store comes with new and exciting deals every week and this time they've supplemented their refurbished lens inventory, giving buyers more choices at a convenient price.

If you don't mind refurbished products, you can buy some of Canon's most popular lenses with huge discounts of over $1,000 / €742 compared with the price for the same new lens.

For example, you can buy a refurbished Canon EF 300mm f/2.8L IS II USM lens for $5,839.20 / €4,348, while the price of a new lens of the same type is around $6,799 / €5,063.

The EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II USM has a regular price of $2,499 / €1,855, but now you can purchase the refurbished version for only $1,999.20 / €1,484.

In the Canon Store, you can also find refurbished versions of other popular lenses such as EF 24-70mm f/2.8L II USM, EF 85mm f/1.2L II USM, EF 16-35mm f/2.8L II USM, EF 135mm f/2L, EF 100mm f/2.8L Macro IS USM, EF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM and others. All refurbished lenses come with a 1-year warranty.

If you want to purchase a new lens instead of a refurbished one, you can benefit from another deal that's active on the Canon Store, which entitles you to receive up to $300 / €224 mail-in-rebate upon purchasing select Canon lenses.

In addition to that, you can also save up to $50 / €37 based on the amount of money you spend in the store. For every $100 or more spent, you receive a discount of $10. If you make purchases worth $250 or more, the value of your discount will be $25. For purchases that equal or exceed $500, you will be granted $50 for your entire order.

So if you're planning to buy new Canon lenses, either new or refurbished, this might be the perfect time for it. Keep in mind that the offer is available for US customers only.
