So, during the weekend, I stopped off at Henry’s in Kingston and almost bought the Canon 24-105mm f4 L IS lens. It would have been nearly $1600 after tax and slapping a protective filter on the end of it, but because they were too slow to act on price matching a competitor in Ontario that had stock, I ended up leaving to go see Harry Potter, and never came back.
It didn’t look like they were going to price match because the advertised price at a competing store was less than they purchased the lens for, and so they were trying to tell me that if I bought the extended service protection plan, and a pro-level filter, they might be able to meet the price I was after, but that kind of ruined the price advantage.
I’m still drooling over the lens, and I can’t “really” afford it, but playing with it in the store definitely made my eyes pop out of their sockets. The images I took inside the store were so sharp and clean, it was amazing. Equipment can definitely help make an average photographer seem professional.
You could start saving up for this new swanky lens.
I plan to save up for it and it will be mine soon… it will be mine…
