I recall the FD lens mount users gave a great big shit about it when the EOS
system came out, Bruce. As a matter of fact, they were extremely pissed that
they, and their equipment was being orphaned.
I recall also, Canon had a pretty classy camera out at the time, was it the
F1? They were trying to be "pro" when they orphaned the mount.
