Man, taking a photo of a lighter colored lens on a white background is TOUGH!

You could use lighted plexi as well.

There was a thread on POTN... this guy unwittingly purchased a stolen 70-200mm f/2.8L IS on craigslist. Come to find out... (like 8 months later) he was contacted by the police and had to give it up for the investigation.

>_<

The POTN members and Adorama chipped in and bought him a replacement though.

Now THAT was a mind blowing thread!

BTW if you ever have your gear stolen, please let us and the other big resellers of camera know what you've had taken and the serial numbers. Then it turns up we can reunite you

Helen... that was a crazy thread indeed! I am so happy to see that such a wonderful community and Adorama could help that fellow out.

That thread is EXACTLY why I have all my serial numbers recorded for all my equipment.

Helen..awesome info! Thanks. I should totally write my serial numbers down instead of just relying on the receipts.
