	They certainly have the fullest selection. I ran across some old K- 
mount or screw mount Pentax stuff from the 50's and 60's that  
apparently is unrivaled, but their current selection left a lot to be  
desired. Hence, I went Canon, despite a higher cost of entry. I  
haven't regretted it.

	That would have been nice -- they were charging $250 for it. I  
couldn't pass up a deal like that...

	You do forensic work?

	How do you like the 100mm? I've been thinking about it, particularly  
with the promotion that ends this weekend. $30 instant rebate. I'm  
torn between buying it (despite the fact that I can do some macro with  
my 17-85mm) and saving towards the Sigma 180-500mm.
