I agree on the size/weight and diameter points. Introduction of AF have contributed to the size and influenced the optical design -- not necessarily to the better..
I wonder how Pentax manages to keep producing fine glass without increasing diameter. It's a pleasure to use old Tacumars, Zuikos and Nikkors. One can buy a 35/1.4 Nikkor with a F100 body cheaper than EF 35L Best, Y * **** ******* *********************************************************** * For list instructions, including unsubscribe, see: * http://www.a1.nl/phomepag/markerink/eos_list.htm ***********************************************************
