Are you refering to the 28-135IS? The only Canon lens
that I know that offers 1/2 life size is the 50mm

Really? I thought the front element of the 75-300 IS
does not rotate. I am actually considering this lens
for my parents. My brother took their AE1 program on a
trip to Poland where he was robbed on a train.
