No, the 'pseudo-focus ring' is on the end of the 1.8 Mk.II lens, a really poor position I think. And it's not so hot optically wide open either... I can say that now, cause I'm now a snobby EF 50/1.4 USM owner! The 50/1.8 Mk.I was actually 15,000 yen and since it doesn't have USM and FTM, and the like new 50/1.4 beside it was only 31,000 yen, and I'd sworn only to buy USM lenses, I bit the bullet and got the better lens. I took a half roll with it this afternoon and I like it! * **** ******* *********************************************************** * For list instructions, including unsubscribe, see: * http://www.a1.nl/phomepag/markerink/eos_list.htm ***********************************************************
