The front element of the 28/2.8 is a molded glass aspherical design. Only L lenses have ground and polished aspherical elements. There are many non-L lenses with either molded or "replicated" aspherical elements. I don't think there are any asphericalelements in the 24/2.8.
As for FTM, if the lens uses an arc-form drive it does NOT have FTM. * **** ******* *********************************************************** * For list instructions, including unsubscribe, see: * http://www.a1.nl/phomepag/markerink/eos_list.htm ***********************************************************
