Be warned about Canon and their 'kind' rebate offers. The old adage 'you don't get something for nothing' has obviously penetrated Canon's corporate ethos. Yes - they are more than happy to tempt you in with offers of big rebates. But try get the money back...........and expect to wait a hell of a long time most of which will be spent on the phone to the idiots who run the rebate scheme on Canon's behalf who will spend most of their time telling you that they never received the recipts and stuff that you sent them. Anyway, don't be put off buying lenses - cos the joy of handling a new focus ring makes up for any amount of anguish on the phone!
There's an easy solution - tell them that you know where they live and you'll come around with your new 100-400 and snap some candid shots of them for all the world to see if they don't pull thier collective fingers out and send you the cash?!...
(thanks for the warning! - everyone, photocopy your reciepts!)
Yep, they clearly don't know who they are dealing with or the size of my tripod, or the strength of my swing. If they don't get their act together I'll tip off my friend undercover susan to add them to her list of targets. Hidden cameras at the ready.....
I hear she has hidden cameras for every occasion and that her tripod extends even taller than your good self. And of course everythingco-ordinates daarrrrling! This is undercover susan that we're talking about.
