    Congratz... To celebrate reach into your back pocket, pull out your wallet, and give your money a wee bitty kiss goodbye!

    Too late! His wallet is already empty..get used to that look. And practice this phrase: "Hi, my name is cwphotos, and I'm an Lcoholic." :D L-glass is addictive.

    Its so addicting that I am about to sell an otherwise excellent 28-135 lens simply because I always reach for my L-glass anymore. Beware what you have gotten yourself into! :D

    Three things:
    1. Good deal on the L, Dean. Congrats.
    2. I'm watching my money closely so the same L disease doesn't hit me.
    3. You need to update your siggy.

    Im afraid i have a mixed bag of news for you CW.

    First up...congratulations on your recent acquisition of fine canon glass, you wont be dissapointed. Unfortunately due to reasons not forthcoming ....the L accreditation you applied for has missed the cut off date by 2 days & thus has been rejected ..as a new nominee of the Canon Snotty Nosed Tossers Club ..you are now req' to own ' TWO ' L lenses.

    We appeciate you application & would like to take this opportunity to wish you every success in your future endeavors.
