There is a 50mm 1.0 for sale here in edmonton right now but the guy wants $4k. I did some research on it and the biggest draw back is the fact that if anything goes wrong with it then you are SOL for any service from Canon. There may be possibility of getting it fixed but most likely you are looking at sending it to Japan. But then again for $2500 I would probably consider it for novelty sake. It does have some cool bokeh and can make some neat night photos.

He's asking 2.5k (he originally paid over 4k back in the early 90s according to the receipt  ) if I get it with the 5D. But reviews on the internet seems to be rather negative about this particular model. Admittedly, I'm a gearwhore, but I don't really want a 2.5k crappy lens as it's almost as much as other great/rare lenses like Nikon Noct.
Opinions? | Depends on what you think is worth it. The bokeh is unique. I've never seen that sort of bokeh from any other Canon lens.
On the other hand, sharpness all around is awful so it's useless for anything but that sort of portrait.
IMO really, really not worth $2.5k. It's such a specialized lens...not one you'd use often, I'd say.

^^^ 
I'll see what we can do about pricing. The discrepancy between US & Canadian pricing is really stupid sometimes. This is partly because Canadian distributers' pricing often is close to US retail.

A question for photographers and videographers,
What inspires you to capture and/or create the images or video that you do? What inspires you to use your camera as much as possible?
Side note: is videography the correct word to use for someone who captures video digitally? I'm familiar with cinematography but does that only apply to film or digital media as well?

there was a Nikon D3 and other gears stolen and i'm posting this because you don't see a lot of 600mm lenses around, so if you see one for sale it should really stand out and could be this guy's. Quote:
The followings were taken from my car today at 64 St Boundary Bay Parking. The time was around 3pm. Equipments are as following:
Nikon D3 S/N 2088793
Nikon AF-S 600mm F4 VR S/N 201539
Nikon AF-S TC 14E II S/N 405750
Lens plate, battery and compact flash cards.
If anyone have any knowledge please contact Delta Police File Number 12-25265 or myself, thanks."

The real question is why did he leave the gear in the car?? I hope he had insurance.
They are around $10,000 MSRP.

Mines covered under my home insurance, had to pay a little extra ($30?) to top up the coverage in that area, but I can literally forget my gear on a bench somewhere and its covered.

^^^ i heard the "M" is actually decent with an EF lens, and use the touchscreen to focus on a specific point.
