If I spent $99K on a lens I would expect Canon to come and see me to calibrate the damn thing :-)

Well the million dollar question is this really: If you buy a $99K lens, should you put a UV filter on it? :D That would be a great thread.

Well my bet is that the Canadian government would prefer that one of us buy it. Even at the reduced GST rate that will take effect on Tuesday it would cost $12,870.00 in GST & Provincial Sales Tax to bring it into Ontario, so for now I think I'll mull it over before placing my order.

It's nice, but the fine print says "shows signs of use, but a clean lens". My personal standards won't allow me to pay one penny over $98,500.00 for a used lens!! Gougers! ;)

You know, in all seriousness (with a generous dose of fantasy), had I the money, I'd probably buy it just to try it out.

No IS- it wouldn't be any good for handheld work. On the other hand, with inside access to Britney's itinerary and this puppy, money could be made....
