I'm desperate to find a decent RF 100-500mm deal for my R5 II before my December trip. I've checked the usual B&H/Adorama trackers but prices are stagnant compared to 2025 trends—really weird. Need something under $2,100 for wildlife and some 4K birding clips. Any secret coupon codes or Edu-only portals you guys have seen active for Cyber Monday 2026?
So funny you ask this — last summer I spent weeks tracking the Canon RF 100-500mm f/4.5-7.1 L IS USM because I refused to pay the full $2,899. I found that standard trackers often miss the internal manufacturer drops. The Canon Refurbished store typically updates their inventory at midnight on Cyber Monday. I managed to get my copy for $2,049 by using the Canon Loyalty Program. You call their direct line, provide a serial number from an old PowerShot or DSLR, and they apply a 10% discount on top of the refurbished sale price. It is the fastest way to get the lens under $2,100. Watch the Canon Refurbished site tonight and call the loyalty line to stack your discounts.
