There will be a difference, but is it big enough to matter for you, only you can decide. But there's a cheap way to test it: Get yourself a 50/1.8 and take some pictures with, at least until you get one worth enlarging to 50x60. Maybe find a great scenery and shoot it with both the 50 (on a tripod!) and the 28-135 zoom, enlarge them both and compare results. If you can't see the difference, you won't see any with the L lenses either. Stopped down a little (say, f/4 or below) and with a tripod, the 50/1.8 will produce results comparable to any L lens. You may even find it's the lens you've been looking for, but in any case you won't lose much - it's only some US$100 new, and you can always sell it later if you don't like it. The only real danger is that you find yourself liking the results so much you want to get similar results at all focal lengths - which, though expensive, will then be the answer to your question. Then you can start thinking exactly which L lenses you want first... -- Tapani Tarvainen * **** ******* *********************************************************** * For list instructions, including unsubscribe, see: * http://www.a1.nl/phomepag/markerink/eos_list.htm ***********************************************************
