Canon at the London Summer Olympics

[Ziggy]

Just out of curiousity I will be attending the Olympics next week (on vacation) and I am a CPS member in the USA.
Can I get access to trying out a supertele or two from my CPS membership, or do I need a press pass as well?

More then likely, I would say you need a press pass. For I shot the US Open Golf once and Canon was there, but they were in an area where you needed press credential to get to. They are set-up to help the photographers who are covering the event.

Also as for Lens Hoods, I normally don't keep mine on any of by big glass when I shoot indoors. Never see a need and it becomes more of a burden and can interfere with my fellow photographers...

The Olympics is pretty much a disaster for the UK, greedy hospitality companies raised prices so high that no one used their facilities, and now they're cutting prices to less than they were normally. London is pretty quiet, no real bonus from visitors to bars & restaurants.

This is simply not true. And in reference to your post about being banned from posting on Facebook and Flickr, that is also not true.
