Canon Camera Gear Update
- February 4, 2011 - Purchased Canon EF 600mm f/4.0 L IS USM from some random guy off of eBay. He had used it to take surf pictures in Florida, of all places. Like...who knew people surfed in Florida?
- February 13, 2011 - Purchased a Canon EOS 7D frame from some random guy on eBay. He'd only used it once in Mexico, for whatever reasons. Camera appears to be new.
- March 1, 2011 - Ordered a 'Genuine Canon Lens Case 600 for EF 600mm F/4 IS L lens' off of eBay.
- March 4, 2011 - Ordered a Gitzo GT5541LS Systematic Series 5 6X Carbon Fiber tripod new from Adorama.
- March 4, 2011 - Ordered a P-40 Arca-style quick-release bracket from Anacortes Telescope. Appears to be back-ordered. Asked them to cancel order on 3/5/11.
- March 6, 2011 - Ordered a P-20 and P-40 Arca-style quick-release bracket from www.bhphotovideo.com.
- March 7, 2011 - Ordered a Wimberley WH-200 head from Norman Camera.
- March 12, 2011 - Sent the Canon EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS USM back to Canon for repairs. Locking ring not working right. IS not functioning properly. This is the second time I've sent this lens in to be repaired. Last time was in November of 2009.
Update: I do this for my own sanity, and to keep up with warranty information. Original post here.
