grsdkc> Do yourself a favour and don't sell that 50/1.8. It's one of the most cost grsdkc> effective lenses in the EF lineup. grsdkc> According to Photodo it's quite a bit sharper than a 28-135, and it's grsdkc> ofcourse a lot faster. You might think that the IS will make the 28-135 just grsdkc> as fast, but that's only part of it. IS only reduces vibration due to grsdkc> camera-shake, but not the blur caused by moving of the subject. I would second this opinion. I bought the 50/1.8 MkI after the 28-135 and it complements my lineup perfectly. If I want to carry just one lens I choose the 28-135, for a three (two) lens setup I choose the 20-40, (50/1.8), and the 70-200/2.8. In low light conditions and where light package is needed, the 50mm can't be beaten IMHO. It is also challenging if you go around equipped with only the 50mm. You see the (photographic) world with different eyes. -- Best regards, Dieter mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] * **** ******* *********************************************************** * For list instructions, including unsubscribe, see: * http://www.a1.nl/phomepag/markerink/eos_list.htm ***********************************************************
