My CPS Membership Kit Came Today

My Mark IV needed cleaning so I took the plunge for $100 and joined CPS Gold. You get 2 free "clean and checks" as part of the membership so that's why I joined. But there's more it turns out....

Nice medium size FedEx box waiting for me today with all sorts of bonus stuff. I got a sweet looking camera strap that says Canon and CPS. I'll use that. Canon lens cleaning cloth. Ill throw that into the pile of microfiber cloths. A "CPS" pin! Not sure what to do with that. Got a new lens dust cap and new camera cover cap. Can't hurt to have extras. Got this hard cover book called "EF Lens Work III - The Eyes of EOS". This is actually a sweet book. I'm digging that. 271 pages coffee table book all about EOS lenses, photos, technical stuff. Nice. Got an EOS catalog and then of course my membership card, clean & check coupons, Gold Rush Repair pre-printed shipping labels and more....

I'm pretty impressed. I think its a good deal $50 per cleaning return postage included.

If you sell that CPS strap for $50 than both your check and cleans come out to $25/per I sold mine no doubt!

Love CPS though. The speedy repairs are awesome.

It sure is a nice kit! I was actually able to use the EF lens work book for a physics class project - the info in there is really good.

I'll buy the pin from you, seriously. PM me if you'd like to get rid of it.

I've got one here someplace, if I can find it I'll give it to you.

looks like bling, isn't the real benefit on pricing or turnaround if you have to send gear in for repair?

I also have a CPS gold membership. But the membership is free in the Netherlands.
Is there any differente beween CPS membership in Europa and US ?

Its all bling. For me the benefit is the 2 free cleanings per year because there must be a hoover in my mirror assembly picking up dust.

Kewl.

i buy my cleanings every march/April when they do them for a $20 donation to charity, I have a canon service center 10 minutes from my house so i really don't have to pay for shipping or wait for it to arrive
