Big Canon Glass Pre-Easter?

[Ronza]

Anyone know of any sale/rental places which have a 400/2.8 or 500/4 available in the very near future (need it for Sat/Sun)? At a stretch even the 300/2.8 which'll TC ok.

L+P don't do anything that big here in Adelaide and Photo Wholealers are chasing CPS for me tomorrow. Family friends?

Any help'd be greatly appreciated.

Ronza, try Ron at Twin City Cameras, Grenfell St just near the Adelaide Arcade enterance. I was playing with a 400 2.8 a few weeks ago in there and he had a 300 2.8 on the shelf as well. By the way the 400 2.8 is the fastest focusing lens I have ever used - faster than the 70 -200 2.8 or 300 2.8. They want 10 large for it.. Ron said that he would be getting a 600 f4 in the future.

Hahaha, blardy hell - the 400/2.8L IS sells for just under $11000 new at some Grey Importers in Sydney.

Might drop in tomorrow though if I get the go ahead to shoot this weekend (AFP & the Rugby 7s) and check out what they have, might be able to strike an arrangement with them.
