Perhaps although I own and use a 1Ds and a 1Ds >MkII I'm not a demanding man My experience are that Canon makes top notch lenses and I do not see why people try and find something better that is not really made for the job. There may be slight differences but the Canon lineup is deep and I have found even the cheaper lenses go well beyond most photographers' needs. Sure the Contax name is cool to have on the front of your camera, much more than Yashica eh... I'd like to have a Canon wide zoom, say the 17-40L would do for me. I sold my 20-35 USM and miss it so. Sure it wasn't super wide on my 10d but it was wider than my 28. I do need something wider many times. -- Jim Davis, Owner, Eastern Beaver Company: http://easternbeaver.com/ Motorcycle Relay Kits - Powerlet, Posi-Lock I'm a BMW rider and enthusiast. * **** ******* *********************************************************** * For list instructions, including unsubscribe, see: * http://www.a1.nl/phomepag/markerink/eos_list.htm ***********************************************************
