I'd love to do this too. Though I don't know that I could part with it after I'd had it in my hands.[/quote] A friend of mine at Canon is sending it to me. He used to be a friend from Apple, and I know lots of much better photographers than me that can't even get a reduced price from Canon, so I'm feeling quite fortunate today. lottadot said on February 25, 2008:

I may have to try that… after I decide whether to keep the lens or not. Though I must add I'm not a fan of warming filters. I prefer to warm in post-processing if necessary or, more often, to just get the white balance correct. Mike said on February 25, 2008:
