Yes
If any owners of a 500mm L IS want to see how their baby was born, this here link is a must see.


Took a while to load up the films, but well worth it imho :D
 
LOL. If you don't like the price - try and make one. :D

yeh the hardest bit i found was cutting the washing up bottle to the right shape using my special kiddie proof scissors :D :bonk:
 
Seen it before and really convinces me where the high price tag comes from..:)

Excellent site that all Canon lens owners should watch..:thumbs:
 
I was quite surprised to see them just nipping the lens elements down by hand, with all the expense and japanese attention to detail, I was expecting a frapping huge (cool) transformers style robot to come in and torque it up :)
 
Yeah, I would have expected the entire process to be automated. Its strange how I can sit and watch this, and be interested. I used to work in a glass factory, and I can tell you it was the worst, most boring job ever!

Instant loading at work thanks to a 51MBps (actual figures as shown on a speedtest website) connection :D

Anyway back to the topic, very interesting stuff! All I need now is a pc with speakers at work and I'm away :bang: shall have a look on a another computer in a bit.
 
the final assembly process is just amazing,being a nikon user i am not up to speed on the cost of this baby but from what i have seen in the video,i am sure it is worth every penny
