I was checking out this video on Chase Jarvis' site that details how he and his crew pack their gear for easy, accurate, and safe deployment. This is the long version, you can see the short, YouTube version on Chase's site, and over on the Strobist post about the video.As I'm watching this video, I can't help but wonder at the small fortune in Lowepro and Pelican cases this man has amassed!!!

Canon has released an updated service bulletin for the 1D MkIII sub-mirror adjustment issue. Looks like they'll start taking cameras next week (12/3). If you missed it, the original bulletin describes the problem as Canon understands it.In the meantime, 1.1.3 appears to be successful for several folks - my own very brief, subjective testing last evening suggests that low light AF is definitely a

Curiously, though - it does not mention the auto-focus issue mentioned in my previous post on MkIII announcements. Rob Galbraith also makes mention the firmware update, but offers no thoughts on whether it, in and of itself, makes any improvements...

Earlier in the week, I sent a private message to Canon's Chuck Westfall via the ProPhotoHome forum.
