Of course to actually ship the lens it will be packaged in probably another (larger) box or thick padded bag, thus making the package larger and heavier...

runninmann what the heck do I know? More info | Sep 30, 2009 11:14 | #26 jorl wrote in post #8732061 haha, you guys are hilarious I'm not smuggling anything over the board. I'm not willing to get fined or lose my lens over that... not worth it.. I couldn't afford to lose 2000 bucks i wouldn't want to get a bad rap either and end up getting pulled into customs every time i cross the boarder. we live right on the boarder at MI and we go over quite often. so i wouldn't want to get inconvenience like that every time we went over. I've been debating swapping to nikon because i've had lots of issues with canon service and equipment. but i think for now i'm going to buy a 5DII and see how it works. if i hate it, then i'll go D700 and see what i think. i need to play with a D700 first before i sold all my canon gear. thanks for everyones reply's hhaha Joel Well, that explains everything!
