Accroding to Canon's own link, it does have 2 UD glass elements (hoping its not a typo): http://www.usa.canon.com/eflenses/lenses/ef_70-300_45/ef_70-300_45.html Also AFAIK, the L lenses have these "superior" elements: "these lenses use special optical technologies Ultra-low Dispersion UD glass, Super Low Dispersion glass, Fluorite elements, and Aspherical elements" http://www.usa.canon.com/eflenses/technology/lseries.html (There is a lot here about how and why UD is makes the lens superior - so perhaps the new 75-300 is really almost an L ???? that is if the first Canon Link is correct) - Harman __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
