What a dive that store is! No sales help stuff strewn all over the place. If I had a vacuum with me I would have cleared myself a path. I guess sometimes its better to order on line and not see the store. At least tomorrow I can shoot with my new extender. canon 50D | canon 30D | canon 135mm f2 L |

As long as I'm saving money, I get what I need and there is nothing wrong with the item, i could care less what the place & people are like. ~Mark

The sad part is, they used to be really good, but once they started concentrating on mail order, the store went to hell. The last time I went there, we asked to see the 20D they had in the display case and the response was, "Are you gonna buy one?". Philip Casciola
