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. :biglaugh:

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?

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 mods.

But hey, these ads have kept us amused and intrigued - keep 'em coming I say! :twisted:

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.

So do you have 26 hours in your days now :twisted: or more :surrender:


And seriously - can't complain too much about the impact of the ads.
