Thank you. I used a Canon D Mark1 with either a 70-200 L or 28-70mm L. Both the sharpest lenses on the market in my opion. Photography is a hobby outside of driving fast and work

I noticed the rear bumper reflectors. Did you put them in yourself? If so, any tips on a good way without damaging the paint and bumper?
There are a few DIY threds on this. It was not too tough altough they must have changed the design. I needed a heavy fishing line and a pair of thick gloves to pop out the old. You can order the original parts at bavauto.com. 15 minute job.

that explains it. very nice camera. not to mention the lens. my buddy has the same camera and a line of L lenses (that camera body is insane!). i'm a nikon guy but have much respect for canon.
