Know of a mint set of BBS Centerlocks in Gold, wide body for sale.

I just moved up to SF in downtown. Don't have my car yet but would love to meet some rennlisters out here. Maybe I can try to find a way to join your coffee runs, open passenger seat anyone?

When doing research on the next lens purchase, everybody looks online and reads the reports. What is not commonly known is, the compatibility between the body and lens has an impact on the overall sharpness. I have Canon 70-200 2.8L IS, and on a 1 series body, the pictures are noticeably sharper than when on a cropped sensor. Clearly your combination is a keeper.
