Haha...

BTW – all pieces have Image Stabilization (AKA Vibration Reduction) to make sure every move is smooth.

Kudos to anyone that actually does this!

White pieces go first! ;)


Think new Canon lenses are overpriced? Lots (and lots) of data will set you free!

Very costly if you knock over the opponents' King, when you get them in checkmate. :lol:

I have about 20 chess sets, I collect cheap ones, believe it or not. But I have to say, this one would be impressive.

I wonder if they are working lenses or if they are scrapped and they decided to turn them into chess pieces.
