Is this metal lens mount, Yes.

It doesn't help any if it is just mounted into fragile plastic mounts. Metal mounts are more resistant against wearing off, I have seen some lenses that did show significant wearing. I had a 28-80 mm III for a short time (sold it because it is slow, shows distortion and is overall very flimsy) That did show wearing as well. -- Michael Quack <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.photoquack.de * **** ******* *********************************************************** * For list instructions, including unsubscribe, see: * http://www.a1.nl/phomepag/markerink/eos_list.htm ***********************************************************
