But the 50mm would nicely take the place of my 100mm which would behave like a 160mm, etc. But I really have very little use for a 160-640 L IS USM. And I like my 100mm f2. If they'd just hurry up with that sub $2000 digital SLR with a full frame sensor... Skip Middleton www.shadowcatcherimagery.com
If they come out with an EOS 3 type body, at least 9MP, and a full frame sensor around 2k, I'll be camping overnight out in front of any store just to be first in line. I have about $10k invested in my current 35mm system and I would rather shoot film and scan than go through the whole process all over again.
Cheers, Rick
