I know eh? That gold is just tacky.

Nooooo, I like the gold - it's bling. Why have blocks when you can have bling?

Of course Canon has a different attitude about bling...

Silver bling for their cheapest, consumer-grade lenses—nice and shiny for the bling lovers.

Gold bling for their standard lenses—but toned way down for those interested in photography instead of sparkle.

Mere red for their top of the line lenses, for those who know how to shoot the shot, not just fling the bling.

hmm.. can we compromise and ask that everyone take well thought out photos of people eating ducks? If you have a local Chinatown that shouldn't be too difficult.

And tsk tsk. One of our very own mods seems unable or unwilling to post a duck shot with his new 5D. In the 5D thread to boot!

Yeah, well, Las Vegas doesn't have a lot of appeal for water fowl.
