My parents bought an Elan II with the 28-135IS a couple of years ago after their old camera with FD lenses was stolen. Although my dad never made any direct comparison of the two setups he always says that this new lens is just not as sharp as his old lenses. On top of that, the 28-135 feels cheap and breakable compared to the old FD lenses which were quite heavy but felt very sturdy. While not recommended you probably could have used them as a hammer without doing much damage....;) Robert * **** ******* *********************************************************** * For list instructions, including unsubscribe, see: * http://www.a1.nl/phomepag/markerink/eos_list.htm ***********************************************************
