I went through that before You're screwed

Ya, I figured as much, I actually have you to thank for that Cyril

not sure if everyone has seen this before or not, but thought I would repost it anyway. I watched it last year and it's quite fascinating to see how a lens is made....

Oh yeah I've seen that before. By the end of it, I just really wanted an EF 500mm f4 L IS USM lens .

makes you realize how much work goes into actually making it.....

Yeah absolutely, and also why they cost so much .

Thanks for the video, Brian. That was a good watch. So they dont use window glass...:p

The new generation of lenses will have the coke bottle green glass to cut costs.

What a nice day it was today, I saw a white admiral butterfly. Spring is here Lets just hope it stays.

Get any shots of it Julian?

Hey Kissa, how did you like the 5D?

No, it was flying around a lot. And I was like "It's a butterfly" warm weather is here, too excited to take a shot.

Nice list, Perry. Thankfully you're into astrophotography yet and want the tracking mount and modded cameras. That does sound like fun though.
