This lens is available all over right now for $1999 after a Canon rebate that ends May 30th. I'm guessing the vendor is going to claim the rebates, which seems a bit sketchy.
So essentially this drop's lowest price is $50 off a $2100 item, a 2% savings. Not terrible, but not personally compelling for this category. At that price, I'd rather spend the extra $50 and earn loyalty points / rewards that are typically offered when you purchase direct from a retailer.
That said, really glad to see some high end lenses here, hope to see more, and perhaps some better deals (might be easier with Tamron and Sigma?)

djonesI was just going to post this.
The last few drops I've looked to participate in (including Nitecore flashlights, LG multi-monitor deal) are all just as cheap, or cheaper, on Amazon...

djonesI'm in the same boat you are. I'd rather buy it on Massdrop if it's actually cheaper like posters and other stuff. Otherwise I'll just buy elsewhere.
That being said if the deal is worth it, I'd be willing to take it.
I don't use Canon nor Nikon so there's no point with me buying this. I'd like to see Sony e mount lens such as the Sony Distagon T* FE 35mm f/1.4 ZA Lens or their 70-200mm f/4.
I wish there was more of a camera community but I'm unsure of how much Massdrop can save here. Worth a short.
