Hi
Hi Bob

Uhhhhh, what more do you want from a lens? The 28-135 I use on my
EOS-3 works on my 20D just as well. The image makes its way through the
glass and unto the image sensor just fine.
The size of the image sensor is resposible for the 1.6 "crop factor" .
yes, and that's my issue ... this previously wasn't an issue with EOS
cameras, and now there seems to be different capture area factors to
include.
but that hardly makes the lenses "incompatible," does it? Which is the
inference of what you said, if not the direct wording.
This may take a little getting used to but isn't there a difference
between the 5X7 and 4X5 when using, say a 75mm lens?
yes ... my point exactly ... the 75mm is a wider field of view on the 5x7
camera, so my TS-E 24 is now a narrower field of view on the digital EOS
...
nothing to do with the lens, everything to do with the different EOS body.
Of course a 5D or a 1D would mean different results to the 20D, but then
that's why I asked are all EOS's equal now?
No, you asked if all EOS were EOS, a different question. And you made the
statement that the lenses were no more compatible than the old FD mount
lenses (actually you said F and T series, but that's the same thing.) Think
of it in terms, as previously mentioned, of different film format bodies
that have the same lens mount. You wouldn't say that a lens that fit on a
5x7 was incompatible with an 8x10 if it fit the lens board, just because it
gave a different field of view, would you?
previously my 630, or a 1 or 55 or rebel or any other EOS camera gave me
the
same results in terms of what I expected to see in the view finder and in
my
image.
And they still do. What you see through the viewfinder of a 20D is what
will be on the final image, give or take a couple of % points (95%
viewfinder, same as on a 55.)
From my point of view, any incompatibilty would be with the "S" lenses
which are designed for the digital bodies and can't be used on my -3.
ah yes ... them too ... won't fit onto any of my EOS film bodies either.
Now
that I've got one (had to get something to be able to take wide shots
again)
I can't use it on anything else in the EOS range ... perhaps not even the
1D
Or on the 5D. 1Ds or older cameras like the 10D.
so, is it time to create a EOS D category?
No, because the 1Ds mkII and 5D, while digital, don't have the "problems" to
which you refer.
