Hi Evrim,
That was Phil Askey's point that was brought up on a earlier
thread on this List "L glass wasted on D30?"
http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/canond30/page19.asp
Also, remember that a 28-80 lens on a D30 will produce the
same field of view as a 45-130 lens on 35mm film, so I think
that the EF 22-55 would be a better match (equiv FOV of 35-88
on 35mm film).
Cheers
