Jules, others will probably give you better input on the wide angle prime/zoom question, but I wanted to say that I've had my EF 28-135 IS for going on three years now without a whit of a problem. And I do use the lens frequently. The only issue with this lens for me is that due to rather loose construction, it has gathered a few dust bunnies under the front element where other zooms I have, have not. Operationally speaking however, it has been a fine lens. And Peter Kotsinadelis' comments a few days ago about the lens' sharpness corresponds with my experience. >What do people think of the Cokin P series? I'm thinking about getting >the usual nd grad, blue grad, cir pol, warm up, etc...... I use the Cokin system for landscape and scenery and think they're great. A very versatile filter system and you can do some very creative things with the grads. They're better when you're set up though as they don't travel well, when you're moving around they tend to snag on things. Oh, and they don't work out well when it's raining much either. And I do certainly enjoy the lower cost factor.
