And focusing (especially manually - even if it isn't as good as in macros let alone any real manual focus lenses, it's an order of magnitude better than the 1.8; AF speed is no different but I like the quietness of (even micro-)USM), and durability. I must admit though that I've used much less it after getting a 10D - with the 1.6x crop the usefulness of 50mm is much more limited. -- Tapani Tarvainen * **** ******* *********************************************************** * For list instructions, including unsubscribe, see: * http://www.a1.nl/phomepag/markerink/eos_list.htm ***********************************************************
