Well, it does´nt look as pristine anymore, the pic was taken 7 years ago so it has got a lot of use and wear marks since, but it still works as good as new.

This is the set-up, here it is on a 1d MK III, and the lens was new then, now it sits on a 1d MK IV.

Experts: help me please.

That's JPEG only - no RAW for you mate.

But it´s made of carbon fibre, so it hardly weights anything.

My camera is a Canon 1D mk111 with a Canon zoom lens 100-400mm EF 1 - 4.5-5.6.

When gold was at it's highest price, I sold off many of the items I never wear from my jewellery box, and bought the camera and lens as slightly used.
