 but they're not freebies that I particularly need. I don't have a monopod, my strap is fine, I don't need the date book, the lens cap, or the body cap. I don't know about the canon guidebook or lens workbook, maybe I should look them up. The trial loaners was really tempting, though... I figured this is an annual thing, and that it isn't paying for itself this time, but maybe next year...

 There is also an additional 10% discount on the repairs. The monopod cover, strap, and body caps sold on the internet will pay for the $100 for most cases. In fact the Strap which is a CPS branded OPtech usually brings $45-$50 by itself. And I've been looking for a second one for my second body, the sell so fast its unreal.
