New Canon CPS

I think in my professional working life.. I've never seen another pro with an EF-s lens! This isn't a derogatory comment.. merely an observation! I myself, would love a 10-20 but I haven't a body to put one on :(

What I find strange is that the 1D MKII is no longer acceptable?
 
Damn, i would qualify if my second body wasn't the 400.

On EF-S lenses, I suppose they expect most pros wont have/use them because most pros that are members of CPS use the 5D and 1D series bodies which don't accept them. You never know, thye might add a couple of exceptions such as the ones youve mentioned. Maybe email them and point them out since it's quite possible they have been overlooked.

That is strange actually. I didn't even bother checking which 1-Series were still accepted. I assumed all of them would be. Looks like I won't be getting a MkIIn after all. May have to save a little longer for a MkIII or win the lottery/rob a bank for a MkIV.

The MKIIN is still accepted, but only up to Silver membership.. the MKII has 3 little black x's next it :(
 
I remember looking at this a few months ago and the EF-S 10-22 and EF-S 17-55 f2.8 were on the list... Doesn't make sense to remove 'em 'cos they're both first rate lenses.

Very strange! :cuckoo:
 
Mine are still good for silver, but what a pain it was to get through the update! I had to reenter everything 3x times. Only Safari worked in the end. That made me think about going to the dark side.

It is nice to know they still regard 40D as a usable camera, and still accept 100mm non-L.

Did you have to re enter all the serial numbers?

Ah my mistake. We'll see how money goes. I doubt being a member of CPS would benefit me personally that much though. So perhaps I shouldn't be in such a rush.

Mk11n is on the list. I guess they are knocking some older model off the list assuming that pros are likely to upgrade. Therefore selling on the mk11 and earliers models to enthusiasts. The only difference is the turnaround time with repairs anyway.

I saw them both on the list when I was looking at signing up, then it closed.

I agree they're both excellent lenses, and if they were made to fit full frame they would both be L lenses for sure.

The way Canon probably see it, is that for full frame they already have L lenses that cover those angles; the 16-35 2.8, and 24-70 2.8

I had problems also, all my equipment was there but it was throwing up errors saying the serial numbers were wrong, I eventually got it sorted then proceeded through to the end and ticked the box to say I agreed to the conditions then when I pressed enter it came up with a server error:bang: When I managed to get logged back in all my gear had gone so I had to re enter it all manually:shrug:
After that when I was entering the items it kept coming up saying "that serial number is already registered to another person":bang: I eventually got it done but it took a couple of hours.

See above:thumbsdown:

I am sure when I joined up originally you had to prove that you were a working photographer but I wasn't asked anything about it unless it is just carrying my original membership criteria over.

I have to agree with the OP

7D and EF-S 17-55 f2.8 is a match made in heaven.
 
Just re done mine and it said a piece of my gear was allready registered with them to another member?
 
Cant see a reason why i would join as a silver member, just get a 5 day turn around, which is what i've got from CPS approved repairers anyway?

I notice the 10-22 and 17-55 is on the list, but only up to silver.
 
had to re entered all my serial numbers.
got a silver membership!!

i presumed the EOS mag was part of membership
is this not he the case anymore?
 
I had the smae problem re-registering - had to re-enter serial numbers as the last four digits were all shown as xxxx.

Eventually got it sorted after a few abortive attempts.
 
One small oddity.....

Canon announced that support for the 28-70/2.8L had finished in December 09 but the CPS site still shows it to be supported :shrug:

Just tried and have more than the required glass, but only 1 qualified body, 20D too old in the tooth. Think I'll wait until next month to upgrade, cars in the garage :thumbsdown::'(
 
I wouldn't bother with the quicker turn around, just register your stuff and have done with it as its still currently free, some other countries have to pay to get the different levels of service.

I got the same message and it says that a CPS rep "might" give me a call....no easy way to find out which item though.
