> I forgot that the Oly sensor was that much smaller. It's funny, that exta .4x is just enough to be one hell of a boon for telephoto jobs. Absolutly awesome at races, birding and the like. I never thought I was actually going to really love it. On the other hand, it taught me that for portraiture, any crop is just too much for my taste.

The reason you are citing is one of two major reasons I did not buy a 10D. The only option I was left with was the 17- 40L... and I absolutly dislike that lens. Too much distortion. The oly was the perfect fit with it's base lens though (28-108 equiv). Supposedly, they are going to bring out a 12-42.5mm F2.0 constant or the like... now that would be impressive. Now if the 1Ds price drops enough when the Mark II comes out... my portrait camera may end up being Canon DSLR (currently EOS 3 / Elan 7E with Minolta 5400). > Thanks for the heads up. No prob:) * **** ******* *********************************************************** * For list instructions, including unsubscribe, see: * http://www.a1.nl/phomepag/markerink/eos_list.htm ***********************************************************
