Let us assume Canon USA and B&H are running a special promotion this Christmas/Holidays. A customer recognition gift card in the amount of $14,000 will be given to a few randomly selected folks who have any kind of purchase history with B&H.
The rules:
(1) The gift card is issued by B&H and it can only be used to purchase Canon gear from B&H.
(2) The gift card has no cash surrender value.
(3) The gear items bought must be kept for at least two years by the purchaser.
(4) The maximum number of gear items that may be bought is five, and all have to be ordered at once.
(5) Only the person whose name is on the gift card can make purchases using the gift card.
(6) The gift card expires on midnight Dec.24/2011.
If you were a lucky recepient of the gift card, what gear would you get ?
I consider myself lucky to have a reasonable line up (for an amateur) - 5dII, 17-40L, 35L, 70-200 2.8 II, 100L Macro, 300 F4L, 580EXII, 2x TC III
$14k would be spent on
8-15L Fisheye - $1500 (I miss my 15mm fisheye that I sold a while back)
200 F2L - $5500
17 TS-E L - $2200
85L - $2000
70-300L - $1500 - for travelling light(er)
I'd have a bit of change for a couple of decent filters too
