I had some fun today. And it cost me zip. Just got the camera-it is awesome as a stealth backup to my IIN, 5D and 40D. I wanted to honor it with the following self explanatory update.

Give "Grip Guru" Richard Franiec a call, maybe he can take advantage of your idea. ;););)
As I said DP forums, "GREAT JOB!!!"...
Congrats!!!

The red ring improves focus and you get 2 additional stops of light ;)
Looks good.

i heard once you draw the red ring around it it just pops into focus and iso issues are gone. :)

Looks good.

That would give the G9 f/0.8 that would be nice.

Canon's going to send you the bill for the more costly L series lens.

Being a 35-200, it could be legally white! Surprise us, Mikegoat!

There are trhee original rings from Canon, a yellow stripe one, a blue stripe one and the full black one. It's strange that Canon didn't make a red stripe example. I can tell, it would be a HUGE HIT!

Isn't the G9 f/2.8 wide open? That makes 2 stops faster f/1.4.

f/0.8 would actually be ~one stop faster than f/1.0, a total of 4 stops faster than f/2.8

f/0.7, f/1, f/1.4, f/2, f/2.8

f/0.8 ~= f/0.7, which is one stop faster than f/1.0.
