...then do your homework first.

Here is a link to a scam site offering a 5D package at a great price.

http://www.bestpriceca​meras.com …x?prodid=557500​&display=2 (external link)

Included in the package is the Canon 18-55 f/3.5-5.6. Now forgive me if I'm wrong, but that lens aint gonna work with your brand new, factory fresh, very cheap 5D my son. :rolleyes:

lol :lol:

If you put that company thru reseller ratings.com what shows up? It could just be a mistake - Warehouse Express in the UK is currently advertising a number of unusually specified Canon lenses - such as 400mm f/5.6 L IS lens - and they are a reputable company.

Having said that there are ahuge number of 'bait and switch' type camera sellers in the US and it can be almost impossible to keep track of them all.

B&H and the other stalwarts keep getting recommended for a reason.

It's deceitful, yes, but technically they can sell whatever lens they want with it, whether it fits or not.


They never said the lens would fit the camera. ;-)a
