May be tough in the coming weeks. Saturdays I spend pretty much the entire day shooting Soccer. Both my kids have games throughout the day, but I also have several clients and teams that I shoot every weekend too. Football takes up time and is underway too. Gotta pay for my hobbies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

04SVT Posted September 27, 2011 Report Share Posted September 27, 2011 It all makes sense now. Man that's allot of steps and work! I just thought they were just really greedy!! LOL I have a Sigma I use on my 20D from time to time. But I can't beat the quality of focus precision of my Canon lenses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should see what it takes to make a simple pair of glasses Not that lens crafters in-house simple edging of an un-cut lens either. I'm talking from the start of a full size puck through finishing and installing into the frames. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrs.cos Posted September 27, 2011 Report Share Posted September 27, 2011 I bought a really nice hard back book a few years ago about this, it was distributed by canon, it showed all the design layouts of all the canon lenses in current production atthe time. I loved it. Wish j had bought one for myself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
