But I'll have to quote EOS Magazine on this (September 2003, Page 71, Quick tips): "Switch off your digital camera before changing lenses. An active sensor carries a static charge which attracts dust." But as usual, Bob is right as well ;-) Cheers, Stefan * **** ******* *********************************************************** * For list instructions, including unsubscribe, see: * http://www.a1.nl/phomepag/markerink/eos_list.htm ***********************************************************
