They cost about $150, and no store will have them in stock in Vancouver. It will have to be ordered in from Canon.

The 70-200 f4 is a light lens, so you generally won't need one though.

I like to use my 70-200 in the evening sometimes for landscapes, so it might be handle. Ebay is most likely your best bet. Or craigslist you can make a WTB post there and see if anyone responds. Good luck!

I'm still saving up for that lens, did you buy it brand new?

Use more than one, as it acts kind of like a Vtec sticker on a car - the more you use, the sharper a lens gets! :D
