And you are quite correct sir. The shot was taken for the post a picture of your boxes thread, I bought that 1DsMkII box with all its contents appart from the body, So the charger/leads/manual/s​oftware etc were purchased from a mate who had his prize possesion stolen from a maggot who doesnt like paying for equipment..:(

The rest is for real though I can promise you..;)

sorry to hear about the maggot. They are best stomped on real hard. Then ground into the pavement like putting out a cigarette butt. How do you like your 180L use it for regular use?

nice. Would be very interested on seeing its use as a telephoto. while 3.5 is not quick, It is an L and a prime. maybe I should just go with the 200 1.8. Hey sell me yours!! :):)

I'm about an hour or so from the Bradley airport, closer to NY. Anytime, just let me know.
