Isn't it funny that there really is no "hi end" in the photography world? 
Imagine paying a thousand dollars for a cable release that was somehow made 
of some exotic wood "because it dampens vibration better"?? Or, buying 
filters at 300$ each because they are made from a special NASA derived glass 
used on the space shuttle? Or, buying 500$ wood pucks to put on your camera 
to further dampen vibration??

C'mon! we need some of that good 'ole 'mericun HYPE in the photo world!
