Hmm...if I purchased the lens new would it have the chip upgrade already, or would I have to send it in regardless? (I've got an Elan 7, btw) > If you own an earlier EOS camera, this is not a problem and the lens may be a good choice. Having previously owned one, I can say they're not the most robust of lenses (typical of many of Sigmas pre-EX range), although it's be a great choice for occasional use and it was quite good optically. Would you say that its robustitude (hey, I just made up a word ;p ) is comparable to the Canon 50/1.8? That's my current standard for "non-robust" lenses... > Another pair of lenses to consider from Sigma are the 24/f1.8 and the 20/f1.8. They sound like a great pair of high speed wide lenses. Maybe one of these would complement your 24-85 even better than the 28/f1.8 would. Actually, I'm thinking about a 28mm lens rather than a wider one because the perspective of anything wider than 28mm is pretty dramatic--probably too dramatic for me to use as a "normal" lens. I find the 50mm perspective too boring, so I'm looking to go wider, but not *too* wide...although that 16mm Zenitar fisheye looks intriguing. ;-) --Alex * **** ******* *********************************************************** * For list instructions, including unsubscribe, see: * http://www.a1.nl/phomepag/markerink/eos_list.htm ***********************************************************
