Well, I'm not so much the "Devil's Advocate" as I am the Devil himself.
I use a 28-135 IS for most shooting and it does seem a bit light compared to my 100-400 L IS, which is build like a brick pagoda. However, all is not beer and skittles in the L line. Two weeks ago I found a "bargain" on the 28-70mm L and tried it on my camera. Maybe I didn't spend enough time examining the lens but it seemed no more robust looking than my 28-135. As I say, this may be faulty observation on my part - I was in a hurry - but I wasn't very impressed.

Why do we have to get junky lens barrels, and mechanisms?? Is the answer to only buy L series lenses?? Which is a shame if it is. I'd be interested to hear from the "devils advocate" on this topic night night Chris Eastwood * **** ******* *********************************************************** * For list instructions, including unsubscribe, see: * http://www.a1.nl/phomepag/markerink/eos_list.htm ***********************************************************
