Most of these are not eligible for the 10 to 15% off discount either. I called them and verified.

I've been on the fence about the 800mm f/11 for a while now, but it seems to have good reviews as long as you are aware of its limitations. I don't suppose I'm going to find it for a better price with a 1 year warranty direct from Canon. Even on the more respected used camera gear sites it's usually listed for more than $719. Even with tax and shipping, it will barely be over $800.

I have a Sigma 150-600 that works great with the EF to RF adapter, but that thing sure is big and heavy, and it would be nice to have a lighter option sometimes.

Lame. I checked the price of the refurbished RF70-200mm F4 L IS USM (the click bait thumbnail that shows up on this deal). It is a whopping 5.5% off for a refurbished lens.

Canon's RF lenses are massively overpriced because it is a monopoly (read the latest news about how Canon is preventing any third party companies from creating auto focus RF lenses). So they can charge as much as they wish. It's too bad, because I think there are many enthusiast photographers like myself that will be priced out of Canon's full frame RF ecosystem.

I mean, why would they assist their competitors? The Canon EF AF system was also proprietary, partially reverse engineered after decades to see comparable (still lacking) AF performance from Sigma, Tamron & Tokina (to name a few).

Canon had forever the largest market share and by far the most elaborate lens selection, so they wanted to keep things for themselves.

Sony kinda sailed for the better part of a decade or so on super conditional EF to E mount compatibility with 3rd party adaptors to cover up their own atrocious lens selection at the time, and ofc the even higher prices than Canon EF lenses, often for inferior products.

Open systems are those that struggle to gain momentum. It is more of a desperation than a "for the people" move.
