Extreme Packaging for a Cap

When I bought my EOS R3s, they had a cap on the hot shoe to weatherproof it. I found the cap was very easily dislodged so I ended up putting some gaffer tape on them to hold them in place. When the R1 and R5 Mk II were released, a new cap was introduced which had a locking mechanism built in. I decided to get a couple of these since they would also fit the R3. They only cost a little over $20 but, when they arrived, I was amazed to see the large box and the high-quality bag that was included for something so simple. How much of the price for the cap was for the box and bag?

The Lions Show Their Love for the Cubs – And Why Not????

AE7I6241.jpgTo be fair, the lions are pretty flexible when it comes to affiliations.  When the White Sox went to the World Series, they wore White Sox caps.  Bears helmets and Blackhawks helmets don’t cause a problem since there is only one team for each sport in the city unlike supporting one or other of the baseball teams.  However, the lions do appear to be fans of whichever team is winning!  (For those of you not familiar with the lions, they flank the entrance to the Art Institute of Chicago and they get into the spirit if a team is doing well.)  By now, of course, we know how it all worked out! Let’s go Cubbies!
