Ken, I tried and tried to like non-USM lenses. I tried and tried to like
non-Canon lenses. Even the best of Sigma, Tamron, Tokina, et al do not
measure up to Canon's USM and "L" serices. I have vowed that, regardless
of price, I will not be lured into a false sense of saving some bucks when
buying lenses. Of course you know this just by trying a non-USM lens. But
I thought you might like some reassurances.
