Great one. Here's something to add: L Beer.

It's a lens. Hooray Lens!

I just hope they're not prone to fungus.

At least I'm not the only one who thought that when I first heard of it. Not bad beer, either (and I'm very picky about beer). One of the more amusing ad campaigns, too.

A little off topic,

There is also a 4WD suspension brand called EFS!

I thought the title was 'L sucks', and was getting steeled for a flame war! This is much better!


Tim: but is it fast? For, you know, low light use.

If it sells for less than 1k they'll sell them in packages of 3!

I'm not sold til I see the 100% crops. And how well does the IS work?

Probably not too well after some of that L beer.

GR8 Stocking stuffer
er, what size are they? 135 or 200mm? ROTFL

ZOOM ZOOM do you put your "L" socks ON, or take your "L" socks OFF, for the special body in your life?

Now the next time someone asks what bag should they buy, I'll suggest the VW EOS!

Now if they really wanted to cash in, paint 'em white with a big red stripe around them. And of course call it the EOS "L" Edition.

On a side note, the various car mags I read generally like it.
