I love the lens, but when in Paris my camera fell from a bench I was sitting on onto its face. Stuck focus ring. I had a local guy look at it and he bent the focus ring (or something in there) mostly back, and it worked for a while, but then when we moved it must have gotten squished and bam... stuck focus ring again. $195 to fix - ewwww. I shoulda just saved up for a 35L
Tenba shootout medium backpack.... should have bought a roller instead.... don't know what i was thinking... funny thing is that i initially was going to get a small and the wife said maybe we should get the bigger one instead (read GET THE BIGGER ONE, man i love her)... even still, i have reached the limits of the medium...
A slingback style packpack. I love that it can hold the camera with the 70-200 IS attached, but it's extremely awkward . Can't use it for weddings, but it does work for hiking.
A couple remote control trigger things I either can't figure out how to use, or accidently bought the wrong things.
Cheap circular polarizer filters.
Epson R2400, thought we would print more than we did. Also bought it to print onto DVD's -drr-. I looked at a lot of different printers and I just totally forgot that this model does not print on discs. I then could not get the dang thing to work with the right profile or print correctly at all. Then I bought a $60 roll of paper only to find out it didn't take that kind of roll. My worst product research effort to date, a lot of the mistakes brought on by deadlines for various projects. 2400 still sitting in it's box and the paper unopened.
+2 Adwords. (my network is turned off) it supposedly helps our listing that we are using them for ads, though I won't pretend to understand it.
Best purchase: 5D & 70-200 2.8 IS, both own the crap out of my 30D w/ 70-200 f/4.

17-55mm F2.8 Nikkor... six weeks before the surprise announcement of the D700 FullFrame.
I feel ya on this one.
My worst non-purchase was insurance on the 70-200 from borrowlenses.com i dropped. -$500. hey, couldda been worst if Ron and R-Strap wasn't cool enough to take 1/2 the responsibility and tab.
Deb--did the previous owner actually reconfigure the flash or is it the TTL version with a module? The 120J Auto Pro (non TTL) has a built in household plug, so I can't imagine how that could be configured. If it is the TTL version, the module is for a particular camera brand or is the universal foot (these have hot shoes). My TTL 120J has a PC port specific to Sunpak. Read about it on the FlashZebra site. You can have Lon make one.

A lot of people don't realize this, but Seagate owns Maxtor. They bought the company in 2006.
Miller's owns Mpix and THEY will even tell you that you won't get the same level of quality from Mpix as Miller's. Sometimes brands are kept separate for a reason.

1. Bludomain.... bad customer service and template got old after a week -_- it was on sale what could I say.
+1. The customer service was actually good with me, and I got everything setup within a week. However, I just found out that the template I paid $400 for is now going for $100.
