I've wanted the Canon RF 28-70mm f/2 ever since I first saw it. And it's £1,029 off, so now I can afford it!

I'm an RF shooter, and there's a lens I've wanted ever since I first used it at the Canon EOS R warehouse rave launch event. However, at its regular price, it's too rich for my blood.
So it’s great to see Park Cameras giving a helping hand with a 10%-off voucher code. But it gets even better. Cyber Monday doesn't just mean a cashback deal from Canon but double cashback – and when you combine those two offers, that slashes over £1,000 off the Canon RF 28-70mm f/2L lens that I want so badly!
Canon RF 28-70mm f/2L USM | was £3,299 | now £2,269.10
Save £1,029 at Park Cameras (with voucher code and Canon Cashback) You can keep your pedestrian 24-70mm f/2.8 – this very non-standard zoom breaks the mold! A dream lens for pro use, that extra stop of light makes all the difference to both low light performance and subject separation. To receive this price, enter the code CANON-10 at checkout, then claim your Canon Cashback after purchase.
Why do I love the Canon RF 28-70mm f/2L USM so much? Well, between its f/2 aperture and incredible optical performance, it's almost the equivalent of four f/1.8 primes (28mm, 35mm, 50mm and almost an 85mm).
It's a big bulky hunk of glass, but in my opinion it's worth every ounce of forearm strain if you shoot things like weddings or events. Though if you don't have (or don't want) forearms like Popeye, the smaller, lighter and cheaper Canon RF 24-70mm f/2.8 also has £750 off right now!
