mwhahahaha...just ordered some new toys :)

Thought I'd share...nothing major, but it makes me happy

I just ordered two B+W UV filters (thanks to all the threads on this board where ppl recommend it vs. the Hoya Pro1s), two Canon centre-squeeze lens caps and a generic remote shutter release not too bad...$100 including shipping for the whole she-bang! So excited

Awesome, I'm sharing the same feeling. I just got word that my EF 50 f/1.8 II just shipped along with my 430EX and Lowepro SlingShot 100 all of which should be here tomorrow.

haha congrats! where did you buy them from? Sounds like you're going to have a wicked set-up

Where are the center-squeeze lens caps from? (Canon?)

B&H. I'm just glad I'm gonna be working with more than my 20D and kit lens from now on. I'm actually getting paid for my photography doing PR for a local organization, so I can justify to splurge a bit more. After a few paychecks, I'm gonna be looking into a BG-E2 and probably a better zoom lens.

I'm waiting for my new 17-40L and remote shutter

Can't wait to get my hands on those. My 40D arrived 3 days ago

cheers

That's what I'm wondering too... OP does describe them as Canon but I've never noticed those available from Canon.

Yes, it is always a good feeling to buy some new toys and know they they are on their way!

hehe looks like this turned into an all-around feel-good thread

The lens caps are not TECHNICALLY Canon They're generic ones that say "CANON" on them haha...but, meh, for $3.90 I'm not complaining It's this one:

I LOVE centre-squeeze ones and hate the OEM Canons... (I think I'm gonna put one on my Tammy - which also came with centre-squeeze - and my 70-200 and keep the OEM Tammy one as a spare)
