You're missing the fact that you can get much better autofocus performance with a motor in the lens. This is extremely valuable for any type of action photography, be it birds or baseball. I will at least buy that 50/135/2.8 if it's USM. I'm sure it would be my most used lens for many things. I would also by a 400 with USM if it's offered, and I can afford it. Coupled with image stabilization, these lenses will be capable of truly great things. I'm excited about this. Paul On Sep 1, 2006, at 9:29 PM, Joseph Tainter wrote:
