Is current sale ($200 off) on Canon RF 70-200 f 2.8 something that is actually infrequent?

I've been thinking about getting this lens and noticed there is a sale on it ($200 off) at major retailers.

B&H says "ends today".

Are sales on this lens rare? Or is it pretty much a given that next sale will start tomorrow as is often the case for many items?

I don't really follow sales so truly have no idea.

That's a good question.  I just pulled the trigger on the RF 70-200 f/4 that was "on sale" for $200 off.  It said the sale ended the next day at 11:59PM and sure enough it did end.  It will be interesting to see when if goes on sale again for the same or better.

I would have gotten the lens refurbed from the Canon store but that lens was out of stock.  Getting the BH unit on sale was a little more than the refurb would have been, but it wasn't too much more so I went ahead and pulled the trigger while the sale was still going.
