Why don't you make one of these with it?

Now see? If Canon actually made these cups people would go crazy over them and buy them all up ... this would be a great gift for their CPS clients too

Same with the pen holder, I'm sure it wouldn't cost Canon much money for a static lens body with no electronics or glass in it, and not only would it generate profit, but it would be great advertising too

VERY cool post here, it was great to see the internals of a lens, I've stripped down a few lenses to the core before, so I was expecting there to be at least that many internal parts, but one thing I am always surprised by is the internal quality and attention to detail that they take with their EOS products

Send it to Canon and see how much it costs

Now that would be funny

Sweet! Another resurrected thread! As the OP said, it's remarkable that all that fits in the lens!

Today, I noticed 2 rather large dust particles on the inside element of my 17-85mm lens. I wish I can remove it. Can you show us how you took apart your lens?

I saw a lot of those parts when my 17-85 hit the pavement after falling out of my backpack
