And ten years later, the second lensboard is sold!

It's an unusual instrument, and I happen to have one, so I'm attuned, so to speak.

Flugabone!

I’ve been happy with Wasabi batteries, both LP-E6n and more recently LP-E6p. The LP-E6p types seem to have similar battery life to the reported life of the original Canon batteries, and they correctly report battery life and charge status to the camera, which is not true of all 3rd-party batteries.

Update: I found an extra original Canon LP-E6 battery and will include that instead of the aftermarket battery originally listed. As a lagniappe, you can have a 1Gb CF card that I originally paid I don't know how much for to use with my Nikon Coolpix 990 around 2001. Long after the Nikon...
