Martin, those are both amazing photos, hangers for sure.

my friend got a dog, meet Bailey.

Because it's built like one/feels like one, haha.

70mm @2.8

Oh yes, The brick fit's well That's why I dont have a grip on my 5D Mark II otherwise I would have to call it a breeze block!

What's the best new price people are finding at the moment? Really need a lens but wondering how long until the IS is released.

Also do all Canon 'L' lenses have an international warranty? I was thinking of getting my brother to buy me one in HK (£750 best price), use it for a week and then ship it over to me. Sigma said their warranty would only be honoured in the UK if I had papers showing import duty had been paid and that if it was brought by someone else, used and shipped to me then the warranty is not valid as it's non-transferrable. Obviously trying to keep the UK prices inflated.

Is there even a IS in the pipeline? I've been hearing people talk about that for the past 2 years or sumtin' :-/ but nadda.

I wouldn't hold your breath for the IS version.

Only just managed to play with mine for the first time yesterday since getting it a week ago! (It's a pity it turned up along with my 70-200 f2.8L IS II!)
