Well, , , , my friend shoots surfing with it on his 50D, although the glass is an older "F" mount. But, , , , Canon gave him one of their special, limited production, "F" to "EF" mount adapters. It's one big mother, "The White Rhino".

The last time I visited him he had it just "laying out". I asked him why he did not have it locked up. "Nobody is stupid enough to steal it". I'm "What!!!". "Well, there's only one other one on the Island. And, some dumb ass stole it 6 weeks ago, and then showed up with it taking shots at the point a week later." "Ha, ha! The local boys beat the living shit out of him, and gave it back to the owner that same day."

My buddy is welcomed at all of the "secret" local spots because he takes shots of all the boys, and girls, and then gives them big prints of their best waves.

Now that our space program is dead in the water, its the only way we`re getting to see Mars
