Canon Thermos

OK, it’s all over the web.  The Canon Thermos, in the shape of a EF 70-200 lens is quite the rage.  All those Canon photo geeks are going to want one and now I’m getting requests from my dealers.  So in order to answer some of the question you my have I’ll take the time to tell you what I know so far.

For my accounts I visit on a regular visit:

Q: Have you seen the Canon thermos?
A: Only in pictures. 

Q: Can you get one for us?
A: Nope.  (at least not at this point, so don’t ask)

Q: Where did people get these?
A: Allegedly  the Olympics, back alley deals, muggings [no pun intended] and I speculate you will find them soon on eBay.

Q: Is it weather sealed?
A: Well, I hope so.  If not, they would not be a very effective thermos.

Q: Are they image stabilized?
A: Not if you insist on filling and them with coffee and then draining them dry.  (Not sure if you drink decaf)

Q: Are the fast focusing?
A: No.  It usually takes about two or three cups of coffee before I find I really get a clear focus.

Q: What type of elements does this lens have
A: That varies.  But you can have elements such as coffee, tea, hot cocoa, water, soup, etc. making this one of the most versatile lenses I’ve read about.

Please post any other question you may have.
