Refurbished lenses sold by Canon

9 years 6 months ago #404831 by Joe Peterson
I saw an ad here and accidentally clicked from the page and now it's showing something different.  But it showed a Canon 24-70mm f/4 Refurbished and said buy directly from Canon.  Does Canon sell refurbished gear?  If that is the case, has anyone done so?  Please post if you got a good deal and condition of what you bought.  

P.S.  Does anyone have the link to this?


Thanks!

The American Canon site is shop.usa.canon.com

My 50D came refurbished from them, with the kit 28-135.  The refurbished lens appears flawless, but they could not conceal the wear, extreme zoom creep.  Does work well otherwise, I still use it from time to time -

Most likely just warranty returns, I'm sure they go through them and make sure they are good to go and working as they should

So would you buy again from them?

Yup.  But this experience chilled my view on "refurbished" being the same as "like new".  I am now more likely to buy used gear that is graded as EX by a reputable dealer, as these prices often under cut the refurbished prices.
