Ann would love it if Nik could bring up the 17-55 IS 2.8 for her to borrow for the shoot. We will be leaving the hotel in an hour or so and I do not know if we will have internet at the next stop. I will PM you her phone# in case you have a problem. Thanks a lot David .
Ann, I can't speak for Nik and how much space he has in his bags, but I'd be happy to loan you my 17-55 or 10-22 for the shootout. Or, you could pay for shipping, seeing as how you're in a tough spot. Then you can buy the lens without the time pressure, later.
