    Doesn't the way your gear looks improve your photos? The new MkII supertele primes will have, "A highly durable white leather-tone coating ... This is a new, more neutral shade of white compared to earlier lenses. It is intended to indicate that the IS II lenses have evolved..." The white paint on the new MkIII extenders matches the paint on the new supertele primes. Do you really expect people to use an extender with that old, outdated white paint when they can pay $200 more for almost equivalent optical performance, but get a paint that matches their new lens?

    Camera anything is absurdly expensive but I guess that's what kind of makes it an exclusive club. When camera gear prices come down and IQ still goes up everybody thinks they can start shooting professionally. I just have to remember that the best photographs come from the photographer and not their gear.
