So, awhile back, I became friends with a guy on Twitter. He had just bought a Canon 7D and from time to time would ask me for advice on various things about it. Now, when that happens, there are a few ways you can deal with it. Scenario #1 Screw this guy (or girl) ! I don’t know them from a bucket of paint and I’m not wasting my time. I get it.

It is an opinion not based on fact or logic I just don’t even like the idea of it. However, I saw this 3D lens for the Canon 7D and I am curious if anyone owns or has used this.
