Yes, these are crazy low prices we've never seen before. You could buy the Canon branded EF - EOS M adapter for $118, the EF-S 55-250 IS STM for $99, and the EF-S 10-18mm IS STM for $149, add those to a M50ii kit for $399, and 22mm f2 for $119, and build a complete system for a total of about $900 - the cost of an R10 body alone!
So crazy I bought 4 lenses. lol
EF-S 24mm and the 10-18mm
R 24-105 $119
R 85f2 for $299
but I am telling myself that I need to spend more time using my gear and less time acquiring more ……..
These are some crazy good deals. If I hadn't already expended all of my 'new camera gear' leverage with my wife in getting my refurb M6ii earlier this month I'd probably be seriously looking at getting a 15-45mm (and send back until I got a good copy! ) and that 55-250mm STM. I'd rather use my next leverage on that EVF.
Heck, if the M6ii deal hadn't come through earlier and it was just the R deals now, those deals may have caused me to jump ship to R (gasp). An RP, 35mm f1.8 and 85mm f2 for $1,200?!
Canon must really be trying to burn through current inventory before the rumored releases in February 2023...
My thought as well... in the 2 years I've been with M equipment and on this forum, there has never been a fire sale like this --- it looks like they are 'dumping' equipment. A year ago I'd have jumped on so much stuff with such a sale --- but already having a large collection of M lenses and bodies, there is nothing I need to fill any gaps or even as a backup.
The refurb prices in many cases are lower right now than I've sold some of the same cameras and lenses on eBay in the past year!
