I may have to get one from you if they're still around in a week or so. I need to let myself think about this a little more...

I'm running to NatCam Roseville to get a blower.... a rocket blower to be exact... doubt they carry it though.

Offset them even more than a free 70-200?!?!?!

Hehe, jk. I have no problem with someone selling them for profit. I'm sure I would have
bought something if I thought I could sell it quickly. Too bad nothing good was left :(

I bought a Giottos Rocket Blower and some Zeiss lens cleaner... they were sold out of the large rocket blowers :sad: But honestly, how did I live before owning one of these things? Soooo powerful hahaha.

You know like the rest of us, local camera shops NEVER stock anything good and it's always overpriced. They had a few used 70-200L behind the counter... I was tempted to ask how much and test one out, but I knew I would probably have a heart attack hearing what they're trying to sell them for.

$2k before the instant rebate that's going on right now. I went and fondled
the one at NatCam in Roseville before I bought mine. It's a 70-200 2.8 IS and
(I think) a 100-400 L that they have back there. For an in-store display
model the 70-200 is extremely beat up. I have no idea what they let people
do with it for it to get in that condition.

Last time I was in there I had them mount the 70-200 2.8 IS to a T1i with the
Canon 2x extender inbetween. Played with it for a while, took the guy's card,
and then bought a different extender from Craigslist a couple days later. I like
taking trying things and getting cards with no intention of purchase :D

Hey, there's no problem in that. I noticed they were in rough shape, that's the main reason I didn't bring it up. They were hungry to sell something expensive and hovering over my like vultures when I was looking at the old school Canon lenses in the counter.

For an L... they were nearly brown from what I saw... sitting on the front element with no filter or cap, makes me question if they are really "camera experts"
