Hi Greg,
I've got two lenses currently, these being EF 20-35mm f/3.5-4.5 USM and EF 70-200 f/2.8L USM Which means I have a gap in my range which I'm now wanting to fill. I've thought long and hard about the 28-70mm f/2.8L but the only thing stopping me from going ahead with the purchase is that both my existing lenses do not telescope externally when zooming - all that happens inside the lens, so I feel that the dust proofing is good. I'd buy the 28-70mm L lens except that it telescopes externally, so I really find that hard to accept, since this would mean more likelyhood of dust ingress. Can anyone allay my fears here? My question to you is - does the L lens leave the 28-135mm IS lens for dead and secondly, does it telescope internally or externally? When zooming, does the front element rotate? Finally, does it use a 77mm filter size, and are you putting up yours for sale? :) Lawrance ----Original Message Follows---- Date: Thu, 22 Nov 2001 17:47:29 +1100 From: "Greg Au" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: EOS 28-70mm f/2.8 L USM I used to use a 28-135 IS, but recently got the 28-70L. The 28-70L is a superb lens. Excellent resolution, sharpness, contrast and colour. Background blur is very nice too. I think it is definitely worth the extra money over Canon's non-L range. _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp * **** ******* *********************************************************** * For list instructions, including unsubscribe, see: * http://www.a1.nl/phomepag/markerink/eos_list.htm ***********************************************************
