Canon tripod rings, Stofen diffusers, printer ink, and my friends really cannot get over what I've paid for decent coated UV filters. ("But it's just a bit of *glass*!")

Well, Im jealous with you guys living in the US. The canon 400 f/2.8 will set you back 6800 USD, but the same lens in Norway costs over 13000 USD!! Now, thats overpriced!

:lol: It's actually cheaper for you to take a trip, by plane, to the U.S., buy it there, sleep in a five * hotel a night or two, than to buy local......sigh :rolleyes:
