I don’t suppose there’s many of these about, but if anyone’s interested I stumbled across this on eBay by accident and it was soon in my basket! It’s a piece of Canon laboratory grown fluorite used in their L lenses made in to a paperweight celebrating the sale of 100 million EF lenses in 2014. Amazing!

Amazing, wish I had seen it, a remarkable piece of Canon trivia/historical artifact depending on your viewpoint.
If you consider passing it on, as a fanboy I'd be very interested8-)

With all the Canon glass you own Canon should have given you one.
