Hehe....I accidently walked out of Vanbar with one today. Dunno how, I went in for the 1.8D and they had none so I was like "ok, I'll take one of those". Lucky she didn't give me the 70-200VR or the 80-400VR, who knows what might of happened.

Geoff got his new 50 1.4, MattK got his new SB800 flash, MJ got his Mini Trekker 200, Birddog's got his new 0 series Gitzo (extremely small and light!) and RRS BH55 ballhead -wow lots of happy people today at the informal mini-meet! :)

It was wonderful hanging out with you all, and thanks once again to Birddog for his generosity and hospitality. I am so looking forward to the proper meet at the restaurant on Friday. Bruno and Belle - I encourage you both to come along to that!! :D

Vicareyus - check your CCD. I might not be qualified to demonstrate how to clean them, as I noticed my one had more dust on it after than it did before cleaning... ;)
