The best glass is made by Canon and Nikon.....there's really no other 
choice, IMHO.

In some states, they'd HAVE to honor the advertised price. One of the 
lenses I have is the 100mm macro...also have the ring flash for it which 
is GREAT for forensics. Their "L" glass is very expensive......like the 
24-70mm.....paid $1,100 for it and it retails for around $1,500, if I 
remember correctly. But, the results are worth the price!

I'll attach a pic. from the 2005 Hotrod Nationals I shot. 'Gotta shut 
this down and boogie!
