plus a load of these

Even worse I'm just off to town now.

Love the heat haze coming off the back of the Mazza. I see that in my rear view mirror all the time

This comment is useless without an attempt at photographic evidence ...

Actually, I'm still not sure what you're up to with all those filters. Has your computer gone on a "work-to-rule"?

Nah - just felt like not "cheating" for a change

I can catergorically say you've made a great choice of lens!

Oh yes, 70-200 2.8L really is THE top lens to have...

But, I found that with a UV filter on it, odd lines appeared on the picture. Really messed them up, so always shoot with no filter on now.

If you look at it with one eye covered, the effect is even stronger.
