Thank you Stuart for pointing that out to me. I would think it is hard for Canon and the likes of Sigma, Tamron, Tokina etc etc not to make new lenses as go get big inroads into the DSLR 1.6X crop market.
I mean, how many people are buying 1Ds vs 10D? I've been very very seriously thinking about a 15-30. I still think that within the next 2 months or so, there will be a lot more lenses for this range. Nikon seems to be getting a great lens range for (12-24, 18-55, fisheye).

From what I have read the lenses will not physically mount on anything else - the 300D has a white dot on the lens mount to which EF-S lenses are aligned when mounting and a red-dot for alignment of EF lenses. If you're interested, the 300D's manual is available online at http://www.canoneos.com/digitalrebel/download/manual.pdf. > I urge Canon or 3rd party lens maker. Please make a 12-24 for EF > mount! The Sigma 15-30 is close... but a 12-24/4 would be nice :) Stuart * **** ******* *********************************************************** * For list instructions, including unsubscribe, see: * http://www.a1.nl/phomepag/markerink/eos_list.htm ***********************************************************
