Hi Boz, while I can generally vouch for the build and image
qualities of the EF and especially L lenses, here's my 3 big gripes
with the EF system:
- everything from lenses to bodies is almost twice as big and heavy
than equivalent Pentax (entry level aside);
- EF zooms and even L lenses flare like hell (truly I can't
understand how a company technologically committed can effectively
disdain quality MC);
- no spot meter on mid level bodies (to me spot is crucial, and much
as I like the EOS-30, the lack of true spot cut my appeal for it)
Should there have been something like MZ-5N and SMC out there, then
it wouldn't be much of a question which way to go...
Servus, Alin
