Hope I don't get burned for this.

I was somewhere around this forum and I saw someone's avatar which was mini canon like the size of a toy for a key chain with what looked like a 70-200. I told my friends about it but they don't believe it. Anyone have a photo of that or know where I could buy one of those? That would be really interesting to have on my key chain :)

I've seen several of these. I believe they're handed out at Canon events to treasured customers/users. You can't buy them, but they sometimes pop up on Ebay. Be prepared to pay more than you'd think.

I think I've seen these for sale in the sale forum here. The title was 70-200 or something like that so you might have to sort through a lot to find the one of the key chain.

The one I was given by the local CPS rep is a 300 2.8 without hood and has a small image stabilization tag on the body.

My product photography skills are so poor they might be banned by the Geneva Conventions as cruel and unusual so I'll spare you all the pain--but I can send you a quick snapshot to confirm their existance if you want to make a quick bet with your friend. ;)

Already made a bet. If I can show him those canon toys with the 70-200 exist, he has to grip for me for an event and vise versa. I'm saving the pic of the usb cameras for a bet with another friend. lol

If they had a 7d one, I might have to buy it.


If you must know...

Well here goes--If my current custom title suddenly switches to "user banned from forum" you can credit my product photography skills.

I got this from a CPS rep at demo days--when I opened my case and there were multiple white lenses he must have thought I was a good enough customer--shown on an actual 300 for comparison.
