Lens Rebates...Any guesses?

Msmoto

On Saturday, the report on the main blog is Nikon will introduce rebates on several popular lenses. Any thoughts as to which lenses will be offered or is anyone going to jump on anything.

For me, I think the 105mm f/2.8 Micro VR Nikkor is in the cards.

Hoping for 20% off any of:
24 1.4
28 1.8
Any 50 with a "please buy this, because we're coming out with an AF 1.2" note attached (I'll be waiting)
200 f/2 below $5K

Assuming one of the DCs gets a good discount I may go new if the eBay one that I am watching goes crazy in price.

They'd have to really cut the 35 f/1.4 to suck some of the wind out of Sigma's sales...

dissent

Figures. I just ordered a lens.

You're all welcome.

I'm guessing popular means, top selling consumer lenses like the 35mm F1.8G, 50mm F1.8G, 16-85mm, 18-200, 18-300 & 28-300.

@ dissent

I just canceled the one I had on order as it had not been shipped.

@ shawnino

200mm f/2... I like the way you think..... :-)

I would like a 70-200 2.8 VRII but will save the money for a D400 which must be just around the corner.

dissent

@ Msmoto - too late for me. :-(

They were quick! I'll see if Sat. would have made any difference.
Then again, I've been toying with the idea of the 70-200 f4 . . .

macsavageg4

Well didn't win the DC so come on Sat. with rebates on the DC lenses.

Great! Just received my D7k 18-200VRII kit. I wonder if there is a rebate on this lens if there will be a "if you just bought a lens from this date to this date you can apply for the rebate" clause? Wishful thinking maybe...

Dredden85

Should I wait to register my lens? Would it matter? :-/

spraynpray

It would be the date on the receipt that matters, not the date registered [-X

Dredden85

Thanks!

shawnino

Anything on rebate ETA?

Msmoto

Well, I canceled my 105mm on Amazon, looking for a rebate to be in effect tonight. But, in the meantime, the price of the lens is up over $90, or 10%. So, I may have shot myself in the foot by anticipating the rebate. And, if none is announced tonight, I may look at the Sigma 35mm f/1.4 as my next acquisition.
How very frustrating.....but, I think tonight will be the answer....

ChromiumPrime

So I guess there are no news on this front then, huh?

Msmoto

I just checked on a few suppliers..no discount seen yet at 12:10 PM EST on what I want....possibly in the morning....

Would really like a 24mm 1.4 or 85mm 1.4 but I doubt either one will be included... If not, I'll just wait for the new Zeiss lenses for those focal lengths.

Take it with a grain of salt for now, but it looks like these may be the rebates:

Well I went to my wish list and I guess it won't help me. The 24mm 1.4 was listed yesterday as 1999.99 and now its listed as 2199.99 and has an instant $200 rebate, so the price didn't change, great rebate.

I might find the 85mm 1.8 though

I just went and looked on Nikons site I guess they just matched what everyone else was selling them at.

singlecoilpickup

It's still $1999 at B&H.

The rebate doesn't seem to be in effect yet.

macsavageg4

Well no DCs so looks like it is shop around and see what turns up.

No 105mm micro either so Tommie is going to be fed-up...

tcole1983

No 105mm micro either so Tommie is going to be fed-up...

Lol. I got my copy for $750 a while back. Took some looking and waiting.

Good price on the 85 f1.8...I am tempted. Hmm haven't heard much about the 28 f1.8 though. Nothing else on the list that really intrigued me.

Msmoto

Grrrrr....

I will reorder my 105 tomorrow and see if some great deal or something is available. I guess Nikon has no need to discount the 105...must be there is a very big demand.
