 So, this is $20, twice weekly, plus $5/message four times weekly?  Between now and May 1, that would be ... 1, 2, 3 ..... 11 weeks say, @ $60/week  That sounds like real good value.   g.Gary Stark

 Can I ask what are professional EF-S lenses other than the 17-55mm IS and the 10-22mm? Would you count the EF-S 60mm?CameronNikon F/Nikon 1 | Hasselblad V/XPAN| Leica M/LTM |Sony α/FE/E/Maxxum/M42Wishlist Nikkor 24/85 f/1.4| Fuji Natura BlackScout-Images | Flickr | 365Project

 Hehe - I did see those charges way back here  in this thread but it was early on in the days of adverts and I didn't want to sound too negative as I knew it was a hard time for Gary and the mod s. But hey, these ads have kept us amused and intrigued - keep 'em coming I say!  Canon 7D | Canon 350D | G5 | S95 | 24-70mm f2.8L | 50mm f1.8 II  | 70-200mm f2.8L USM | 430EX II | Strobist gear

 There are no professional EF-S lenses. EF "L" lenses are the pro lenses. EF-S means it will only work on APS-C (1.6x) crop sensors.7D, 60D, 70-200mm f/4LIS, 17-50mm f/2.8, 10-22mm f/3.5-4.5, 50mm f/1.4, 100mm f/2.8 Macro, 580EX II
