Wide And Fast Glass


The enigmatic photographer known alternately as Fergus McCool, Dennis McDowell, Ein Horn, and Vigo Huhnerdrosseler has acquired a most awesome new lens. This newest object of my jealousy is a fast and wide beauty known as the Canon 16-35mm f/2.8L USM. Despite pressure, veiled threats, and offers of candy, I don't think he's going to loan it to me for my reunion this year. Which is a shame, because I would certainly do so for him :)

So, Fergus, during the week of my reunion, look up at that dust-covered lens sitting on top of your fridge and picture the wonderful Rocky Mountain landscapes, majestic clouded skies, and cool-flowing streams that could be passing through it, and think of me.

It'll be dust covered from all the New Mexico landscapes I'll be shooting in between shots of good tequila.

I know you'd lend me your equipment. Just like the time you lent me your film Canon Rebel or your Sony.........oh wait! you stiffed me on both of those :)

You were not skilled in the photographic arts at the time. Now, as a world-wide sensation, I would allow it.

You show the EF 16-35mm USM. I have the EF 16-35mm II USM. How gauche.
