Hi CR.
Wow, thanks for sharing, that is some stock of gear they have there!

Cheers, Graham.

The expense that goes into supporting events around the world gives you a idea as to what the actual cost to produce a lens or camera is. Likely less than 1/4 the selling price, probably 1/6th. The huge expenses of distributing, advertising, repairing, and supporting them plus the dealer markup is a lot.

Very impressive -- the maintenance techs, too!

 

[Aussie shooter]

one of the reasons pros won't be dumping Canon for Sony any time soon

So nice.
