58mm to keep as many lenses as possible with the same filters. Canon strives to help photogs minimize filter selection. 77mm is a standard for larger lenses. Only a very few have odd sizes. Plus of course, there's a motor in there :-) As to barrel distortion, I find it minimal on the 1.4. -- Jim Davis Nature Photography http://jimdavis.oberro.com Replies in plain text only please! * **** ******* *********************************************************** * For list instructions, including unsubscribe, see: * http://www.a1.nl/phomepag/markerink/eos_list.htm ***********************************************************
