BAA ON-LINE STORE ISSUES

In an effort to provide even better service to our customers, that would be you thanks, we recently moved to an upgraded server. Things have not gone as smoothly as we had hoped. There are compatibility issues involving the check-out procedures and the new server. We have been working hard for three days to resolve these issues and do appreciate your patience. Many have been frustrated by being unable to check out. Others more recently have simply found the store inaccessible. We are sorry for any inconvenience we may have caused.

We would be more than glad to process your phone orders and to apply any BAA “On-Line Store only” discounts. If you would like to place a phone order, please call us at 863-692-0906. If the line is busy or if there is no answer, please leave your name, a call back number, and the best time to call. Thanks to the many who have called to place their orders for either the Nikon dSLR Guide or the Bosque Site Guide.

Canon 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II lens. Man, I am loving this lens on my shoulder with the 2X III teleconverter. I also use it a lot with the 1.4X III TC.
Canon 1.4X III Teleconverter. Designed to work best with the new Series II super-telephoto lenses.
Canon EOS-1D Mark IV professional digital camera body. My two Mark IVs are my workhorse digital camera bodies.

And from the BAA On-line Store:

The Lens Align Mark II. I use the Lens Align Mark II pretty much religiously to micro-adjust all of my gear an average of once a month and always before a major trip. Enjoy our free comprehensive tutorial here.
