Hi Jack, Canon suggests exactly that combination, see: http://www.usa.canon.com/eflenses/matching/eos3/ But they forget to mention that the EOS 3 autofocus is "half-strength" when using an f/5.6 lens like the 28-135 IS USM. "Full-strength" AF only applies when using lenses f/4 or faster. See: http://bobatkins.photo.net/info/faq30/eos3af.html http://www.picture-perfect.net/Eos3review.shtml Cheers Julian Loke P.S. Will the Contax AX autofocus using your current lenses? * **** ******* *********************************************************** * For list instructions, including unsubscribe, see: * http://www.a1.nl/phomepag/markerink/eos_list.htm ***********************************************************
