Dammit! If I didn't have a photo shoot for my class on the 20th, I think it would be neat to go to the show.

Wow! The rumors of a 200 f/1.8 replacement actually came true! That will be a hot lens for low light sports photogs.

It's also been a long time since Canon had a 800mm in their lineup. I'm thinking it should sell for about the same price as the 600 f/4...
