Well, I guess my point was that buying a complete new line of lenses would not be necessary. Did you say smaller, lighter AND cheaper? I see the smaller sensor size as a temporary stop gap until full frame cameras can fill the market. Give it a couple years. The first one is here already, naturally it's expensive. Meanwhile, why not buy a wide angle that will fill the gap using a smaller sensor, keep using film, or pony up for a 1Ds. I was thinking to get a 10D, but for wide angle would simply use my film EOS. Come to think of it, I could carry around my EOS 1000 body pretty easily and it would do the job for most of my wide angle stuff just as well as my 55. * **** ******* *********************************************************** * For list instructions, including unsubscribe, see: * http://www.a1.nl/phomepag/markerink/eos_list.htm ***********************************************************
