I know this is cruel...

and I'll take the top. There, it's settled.

They must have PS the shot, thst's the new lens. I have the original and Image Stabilized is on a plaque not raise font. BTW I love my 75-300 IS, this lens has too many haters.

I think this shot was taken in Amsterdam Schiphol airport or Frankfurt, Germany. Im almost positive ive taken shots of and walked passed that very wall.

Well well, here are a couple of shots I dug up. Taken back in December 2002. 2 days before Xmas.

Here's a teaser...try not to drool on your keyboard :

Now I know what to point at when my wife says "What do you want for Christmas". My reply will be "Anything in this picture..."

And what do you think she will say?

I think she will express her feelings more with actions than with words...

Notice, if you count the rows of blocks, it matches the number of rows of blocks in the Canon photo. Also, notice how the it curves (outwards), the first photo has the about same angle of curve (towards the inside of the first shot).
Could I be right?

It doesn't make sense that Canon would use an airport as a photo studio.

Why not?
Seems like a great idea for advertising. For both Canon and the airport.
Canon gets to advertise to thousands of travellers. Hence they need not pay for advertising in different country's magazines, at an international airport too. Pretty much guaranteed at least 20 to 30 different nationalities. Then its a great boost for the airport's goodwill and popularity.

Hmmm, thats a nice line-up. Anyone got a list of what they actually are?

B 5th from L looks like the 65MPE 1x-5x macro
B 6th from L looks like the 15 fish eye
B 8th from L looks like 70-200 2.8 IS
B 1st from R looks like the 14 2.8
B 3rd from R looks like the 24 TSE
T 2nd from R is probably the 85 1.2

Anyone know for sure what the full lineup is?

All the best

Bottom from left:

50 1.4, 24 L , 17 - 40 L, 100 macro , mpe 65, 15mm, 200 L,70-200 L,16-35 L, 400 DO, 24-70 L, 24 L, 135 L, 14 L.

Top from left:

28-135, the 5th lens is the 28-300 L, then the 7th lens is the 35 L, then the one after after is 180 L then 85 L then 70-300 IS

Just think, that top row probably costs more than most of our cars, probably several cars put together.

can anyone with the most lenses like on the canon picture take a picture of their own collection in a similar way for us to see? that would be cool!

Well the bottom row , working on CP's list of lenses comes to £15,981 if you were to pay RRP. it gets serously bumped up by the 400 DO IS at £5k but even so thats nearly 11K for the rest.

The top row.... I agree with most of CP's suggestions however I think that the full lineup is
28-135, 85 1.8, 300 2.8, 600 4.0, 100-400 IS, 500 4.0 IS, 35 1.4, 400 2.8 IS, 180 macro, 85 1.2, 70-300 IS

RRP = £30,451

Total price for eveything, £46,432, thats a lotta cash.

all the best
